i don't think anyone understands school until they're educated here. i have exams back to back every day for 5 solid weeks in 11 separate subjects. i have to learn about 4 books including shakespeare with 4 different essay structures for each, the triple science award aka 3 exams in biology, chemistry and physics, all of maths including geometry, trig, algebra and statistics, all about food as well as a 60% overall coursework portfolio that took almost a whole year, a foreign language including writing essays and speaking to be marked by an examiner, a 2 hour english language paper (got one of the best marks in the country when we did in in january hollaaaa) a 1 hour 30 paper about analysing a business, 2 religious studies papers which would be easy but the ethics one involves learning a load of quotes from the bible, a long as hell paper about the cold war and a long paper about britain in the 50s and ww2
i am legit ready to just throw myself off a cliff it's really fun living in the country where the kids are even more tested than the kids in asia
