I know what you’re thinking, “oh another sixth form student who doesn’t know how sixth form works complaining about workload”. And while I understand this to the fullest extent, I do not learn ANYTHING in lesson.

For context I do Maths, Physics & economics and my maths teacher does not teach us in lesson (economics and physics do). My school has this weird prior learning policy where we learn the knowledge beforehand and come into the lesson knowing what we know(??) it’s so weird but my maths teacher takes full advantage of this, does not teach us at all in lesson, sets about 10 Bicen maths videos along with about 20 questions from the textbook to do for homework all due for the next day. Each prior learning we do is supposed to be about an hour long (they’re never an hour long).

And when we do go into lesson, we just answer about 5 questions that would take me about 15 minutes to do. And the worst part? When we’re done with those 5 questions she tells us to get out our iPads and start the next prior learning, does not bother at all to teach us in lesson. The longest bit of prior learning she has set us to do took about 10 hours. (Timed)

And because of this my mental health has significantly declined with my attendance dropping in comparison to year 11.

I hate my maths teacher so much and the only reason why I’m saying this is because she’s set us 5 past papers to do for homework and about 120 minutes worth of videos up for Monday.
