Super Learning Fridays?!...Hi. Our school is probably going to introduce "Super learning fridays" as of the new school year, starting this september. (Nothing has been finalised yet) Basically, we get put on a two-week timetable, and on the second week, on a friday, we have one whole day of one lesson, e.g a whole day of maths or a whole day of languages. We have six lessons a day (some doubles), 5 days a week (unless inset day etc.) We all, in my class and year and mostpeople I've spoken to about it, think it's a stupid idea, and that you'll get a lot more people bunking and so on. We think that it might get boring during the day just doing one thing. I'm in yr 11 next school year, so have important exams and stuff. I can see having a day of revision, that's useful. I don't study andy technology subjects, so what will I do when technology day comes up? It won't be beneficial to my exams at all. We were going to go see the head, to find out some more and say our views, but our application for a meeting was denied. As far as I know, only two teachers in the whole school want it, two out of about 200 (Not including the head) and she still decides to go ahead with it.
I just wondered if anyone on here has a simelar scheme or idea in action in their school now, and what it's like. I want to find out a little bit more, before I go storming off to the head again, on go on a rampage or organise a massive protest. Also, what is everyone else's thoughts?
