DSS has just come home with a letter telling parents that study leave has been cancelled and that students have to attend their usual lessons around their exams but they will be used as revision sessions.
Poor DSS is quite worried about this as his most effective revision is done in his own surroundings and in total silence rather than in the classroom environment. He is also worried about the lack of down time between exams and that jumping straight from a maths exam into an English revision session isn't ideal, which I agree with.
His school had a below par set of GCSE results last year which is why I think they are keeping his year group on a tighter leash. Apparently DSS's form tutor told them it's because the government won't let children leave school before 18 so they can't revise at home but there's a chance that might have been lost in translation.
Is this the norm now? Or are most GCSE students still finishing for study leave at half term?
