Something tells me we don't devote our full attention to doing much learning in class, nor are we really encouraged to. It seems as if you could compress our entire learning experience into a 15 minute class each day.
Lets take last Wednesday for example, a full 8 period day, each period being 40 minutes.
Period's 1 & 2 - Double maths
Spent the first 5 minutes snailing my way through 3 questions of a past test paper, that is, doing revision. Then I started playing picture wars with Hazza untill recess, which is immediately after. 75 minutes of nothing, 5 minutes of work that doesn't particularly matter.
Period's 3 & 4 - Double Multimedia
I have this major assignment thingy I'm supposed to be doing, its due next term, I'm half way through it. So what do I do? Software work that isn't getting marked. Zero productivity.
Period's 5 & 6 - Double Software
I continue the software work that isnt being marked, having already done the task we were handing in. Zero productivity.
Period's 7 - English
The entire year's english classes were all vacum packed like sardines into the 'tiered learning space' and told how we should do stuff in Power point for our assesment. Stuff I already knew and noone else cared about. I also played picture wars with Josh. Zero productivity.
Period's 8 - Engineering studies.
This was actually spent doing what we go to school for, learning. But ofcourse Mr Cleaton always has to use up the first 25 minutes of the lesson lecturing us on how much time we'll waste if we dont hurry up into class and be quiet when hes trying to talk. We also get out 5 minutes before the bell, a total of 10 minutes of solid work.
If we add this all up we get exactly what I said earlier, a total of 15 minutes. But ofcourse we cant just have one lesson a day that's 15 minutes long, because if we did, we'd stop paying attention after the first 5 minutes.

The first and most recent
Well here we go myself being one of the main perps and always seems to get caught from various teachers with different results. Our most recent series of events has all come from bambii finding that one lonesome hockey stick which has created so much havoc.
First off all we came up with the idea to hit fruit with it (best idea ever) most of us were to fridget to hit it though so i being the most foolhardy just did it with excellent results. What has followed has been multiple days of fun from nearly hitting a wheelchair kid or frank and joel trying and failing to hit a stationary apple, all while we ran around the playground watching for teachers and people yelling NO and GO as directions (which is confusing). I've probably missed somthing here and get criticized for it.
so stay tune ha ha
