those rules are in response to the behaviour of students. if your college was filled with people who gave a toss then no one would have felt the need for such rules.
it doesnt really matter, if you're a good student you wont be breaking any of those rules already.
I cant speak for the rest of the college, as I only see one part of it (Theres media, drama, 6th form, science, theatre and a load of other courses in the same campus, but 95% of people in my class did their work on time. Infact only 3 people where kicked off the course between the summer or left.
And it does matter (about the holiday bit anyway, the other stuff doesn't), its 3 days we're missing, we could just phone up and say we are sick and catch up on the work when we get back. Although it most likely wont work as most of them (tutors) are on facebook, and there are bound to be photos on there.
Why book a holiday in March if you know you'll be in college
Your lack of commitment is showing and your tutors know it. If you don't care why should they.
Because its cheaper (and a lot cheaper than going in easter a month later). And lack of commitment? 100% attendance, all my work handed in on time, was only late a few times (less than 5 times), got on with my work in class and out of class. How the hell is that not commitment? I know at school your expected to be on time to lessons etc, but thats different to college, at school they didn't mind you going on hoilday in term time, as long as you caught up on any work you missed.
Cos it's cheaper! And if a propper college they should have no problem with it as long as your willing and able to put the work in to catch up on the week you've missed.
+1
Its 3 days that we are missing, if we had lessons every day thats different. And as we have a good record of getting on with work, handing it in on time etc.
I was speaking to my mum about it, and because I'm a young carer for my brother, and she used to take us out on term time, because not only was it cheaper, but my brother used to go to restbite while we went away (It wasn't possible for us to take him with us, and it wouldn't have been a holiday as he would have caused us more work), and it would be better for him if he was at school and restbite, rather than being at restbite for the whole week, to give him some kind of normallity.
