Talking Tuesdays #3

School- 

Hey guys,

As you probably know we are from England and our school is very .... demanding! They expect you to have all your work done at A* standard on time (this may be the next day), be in every sport squad and play a musical instrument (and be in all the musical clubs as well)! What they don't understand is by the time we get home from a match it will be around 6.00 or later and then we have dinner, do about 5 homeworks and go off to our lacrosse club (that the school asked us to go to) 7 to 8, or a club that we actually want to go to, then get home and do the remainder of our homeworks! The school then complains about how we are all tired and ill a lot of the time!

School is supposed to educate us so we can do well in the future but a lot of people in our year have become ill recently from doing too much and the stress! Our school doesn't realise that we all have lives outside of school, and that we work so much! Our homework is meant to be 20 minutes, 30 tops, but most of them are essays, and no one can play and write an essay in 20 mins! It ends up being about 2 hours and then when you get the work back, sometimes it's great, but the majority of the time they say things like 'you should have spent more time on that' or 'satisfactory' which in our school means this essay sucks! 

The honest truth is this would all be okay if we had less or no homework! If school isn't a place to sleep then home isn't a place to work ;) ! They need to realise that we would all do so much better in school if we had more sleep and were more relaxed! 

Thanks for reading guys! We hope you enjoyed this little (big) rant of ours! Please follow on here and on twitter so you can read more as we post lots on twitter: random stuff and updates :) 

We love you guys,
