All quiet on the blogging front from me for a while. I’m finding it difficult to sit down and reflect on a very busy few weeks. Now that the S4 and Higher students are away on exam leave, I’ve got more time on my hands.
Getting the students prepared to sit their exams with confidence was certainly a difficult time. Some students failed to realise the speed at which time can pass and were quite happy to leave things to the last minute.
Although we can all be accused of having left things late in the past, could it be that one of the most important skills of exam-time is organisation? Many students do not seem to prioritise their revision above the myriad of social events vying for a sixteen year-old’s time.
