Finals

Well, I had planned to write something about the changed final exams schedule here, but it looks like that's no longer applicable. Last year, as many of you know, finals were lengthened from an hour and a half to two hours and fifteen minutes, just so we could meet the required face time minutes (or whatever they're called) with teachers. What's more, teachers were told not to make their finals longer, meaning the school was, essentially, openly admitting that they were just going to make students sit there for an extra forty-five minutes just to meet a law. In this space, I was going to commend Mr. White for cutting the final exams back down to an hour and a half, but when I went to the website to double-check my facts, I found this:

"Fri, Jan 18 - Thurs, Jan 24 FINALS (Finals schedule has changed! New schedule to be posted soon.)"

I'd be willing to bet that this means we're back to extra-long finals.
