[Year 12 IT Apps] RE: Assessment Sheet for OC1U4

Wed Sep 12 12:28:55 EST 2007

I am really surprised you were allowed to do that. Absolutely every 
school I have ever worked in would not allow a compulsory revision class 
in the holidays. Opens up a pandora's box with parents who schedule 
dentists, holidays, whatever. They can quite rightly claim a 
disadvantage if a compulsory revision session is added to the school 
program with only a weeks notice. Questions along the lines of "Why 
wasn't this done during the term?" are asked.
In my experience it is ok to make yourself available voluntarily, but 
admin would have kittens if you scheduled it in the holidays. What's to 
stop other teachers doing the same and putting their compulsory revision 
on at the same time as yours? It also puts enormous pressure on every 
other VCE teacher to do the same.
Real can of worms.

Cheers
Cameron
