    Third years in my school technically finish Friday and we are given the option to come in and "study" next week! I'm undecided yet what i'll do - by going into study we will just be in normal class rooms so there will be messing/talking/distractions. So I think I'll stay at home :confused:

    What's the story in your schools. :D

    They keep telling us we don't finish until next week but I doubt that.

    We have our regular timetable and have to go in for the whole week ._.
    We'll be in different rooms because of Summer Exams but in my opinion I should be allowed to stay at home and cram for the big exams like History instead of stuck in a room with my Religion teacher banging on about how Atheism is a threat to Christianity...

    At assembly today they said that they still haven't decided!!:eek: It will most likely be next Wednesday though.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,849 ✭✭✭bluejay14


    The 3rd years in all the other schools here are finished so our class started a petition to let us finich this Friday. I have a feeling it won't work out so well though.......

    Our 6th years do a prank every year.

    Last year, they put all the exam hall furniture on the roof, set off crickets and other bugs from reptile food in the central area.

    The year before they set off 3 sheep in the school with the numbers 1,3 and 4 painted on their backs. The teachers spent 2 hours looking for sheep number 2.

    The year before they let off hundreds of frogs in the school.

    This year they put loads of dead fish in the vents and they all got sent home 2 days early. It was a crap one.

    Dunno where they got them, or how they got them there, but they got them into the school buildings and let them roam freely!

    I have a feeling our petition failed.:(

    Everyone is now saying that we won't finish until next Friday:eek:. Completely unfair because TY's finished yesterday and even 1st years finish next Wednesday!:mad: They better be wrong becaus eeveryone said that they'll only come in Monday and Tuesday and I'm not sure if my mam willl let me stay at home because I think that she thinks it's better if I go in to classes although we aren't doing anything and there would only be about 3 of us in.

    That's totally unfair :eek: Like in school we are all meant to be "revising" in class with our teachers. But the teachers just babble on about something totally unrelated and some people are messing, what I intend to do for the next week and a half is get up at 9 take my breaks like in school, finish at half 3 and that's loads done :D

    Hopefully you get off :)

    It was blown out of proportion really.....they let off a dozen crcikets at assembly Padjo went spare! Pulled down a basketball hoop...pelted all the teachers with eggs and tomatoes and a guy broke his nose and another guy broke his arm....

    It was mob rule like stuff and the teachers were scared!:eek:

    Loads of innocent 6th yrs pissed off because their woodywork projects aint finished!:eek:

    Only 6th yr left is a bit harmmless we will say.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,419 ✭✭✭WanderingSoul


    We were just told we have a half day on Wednesday and then we're finished. :D


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,849 Mod ✭✭✭✭suitcasepink


    Wern't offically told anything but the teachers keep asking us when we're finished and we're getting the "really?" kinda answer... Also 3/4 of the year arent in so me thinks we wont be in the for the whole week :)

    Im taking half days and shizz anyway though so s'all good :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,849 ✭✭✭bluejay14


    Finished today!! I don't like how they sprang it on us all of a sudden though. I never want to carry 3 bags of books down 3 flights of stairs ever again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,347 ✭✭✭Closed ac

    Just don't bether going into school then. None of our class were going to go in if we had school tomorrow and I mean no one.

    None of the teachers took our petition seriously I don't think. Our geography teacher basically leughed at us for it today, we said that we didn't know when we were getting off and he said to us "what are you going to do....start another petition" and laughed. No one is going to take anything our year do seriously anymore. At least I won't have to be in the same year anymore seing as I'm doing TY. Our class went from being one of the best 1st year class to the worst 3rd year class ever. Thank god I'm getting away from them.

    1. Mam won't let me
    2. Last few days with my class & teachers
