Are you trying to say that everybody should learn History? Even students who want to be doctors or workers at Los Alamos?The history lessons in this world is too simplified. You dont know the real things.
[That is the matter with capitalism, the leaders want to teach idiots in schools, we have to rebel]
Now for nine whole days (plus one extra hour) there's
so you can spend more time here again.
By the way, do you think it's very important to have an autumn break? Don't you think we should have a longer winter holiday instead?
Yes, I know what you mean, but this year the 22nd December is still a school day (Friday) and Sunday (the 24th) is Christmas Eve already
. I think it is absolutely awful. I would rather have the week before Christmas off than a week now. All Saints' Day (1st Nov) would be a day off school anyway (because it's a holiday for everyone), so we wouldn't lose the whole week now in return: it would be. I'll miss having a proper Advent... 
There won't be enough time to prepare for Christmas properly, we'll all be in a hurry, it will be too stressful instead of taking our time to have some fun while baking delicious cakes
, wrapping up the presents
, etc...Yes, I know what you mean, but this year the 22nd December is still a school day (Friday) and Sunday (the 24th) is Christmas Eve already
That would be enough for me in return for the whole week before Christmas2 days weekend (28th and 29th October)
2 days school
1 day off (Nov 1st)
2 days school
2 days weekend.
This is a bad timetable, because a lot of students have other activities in the afternoon, for example music lessons.Would it be okay if every day looked like this?
09.00-09.45: 1st lesson
20-minute break
10.05-10.50: 2nd lesson
20-minute break
11.10-11.55: 3rd lesson
20-minute break
12.15-13.00: COOKING
30-minute break for queuing
13.30-14.15: 5th lesson
20-minute break
14.35-15.20: 6th lesson
20-minute break
15.40-16.05: 7th lesson
20-minute break
16.25-17.10: P.E.
* I'd like to write "and for having the lunch which you have just cooked" but in that case you would miss the best part: queuing
I think chemistry and physics are the most boring and unnecessary subject in school. I don't have more problems with the subjects. I think the breaks are shorts.I teach English in a secondary school in Hungary. The other day I asked my 9th-grader (about 15-year-old) students what new subjects they would like to have at school. In their homework they came up with the following ideas:
- Cooking
- Housekeeping
- First Aid
- Self-Defence
- Learning-how-to-learn
- Communication
- Building
- Car-driving
- Horse-riding
- Practical Money Skills / Financial Matters
- Civic Knowledge / Legal Matters
- Programming
- Searching-the-Internet
- Animation
- Listening-to-music
Because they had quite a lot to say about what they like/dislike about school, how they would change their timetable, etc., I thought it'd be nice to help them find an online forum where we could go on discussing it in English outside the classroom and, hopefully, with other people, too. Do you think we could try here?
If no, then this thread will obviously be deleted soon.
If yes, please join us, especially if you are secondary school students, too.
So, what do you think? Which of the above subjects would be the most useful and why? Do you have such subjects in your school (in other parts of the world perhaps)? What's the ideal timetable like in your opinion?
Well, I'm not sure they know.
You and I are here to listen to them but most of them are not really willing to share their ideas. (They just want to get the homework done, i. e. to post at least one comment here.)
