I'm not tik tok brain broken by any means but surely at about 1 and 30 mins of straight maths you just mentally check out

Some teachers are nice and give you a 5-10 minute break halfway through the lesson, others don't. Luckily I enjoy learning and am able to quite easily make it through lessons. (also probably helps some people prepare for 3 hour HSC exams as you already have to focus for 2 so you're 3/4 of the way there)

We definitely have some lessons where we're productive for like an hour and then devolve into talking so loudly amongst each other that the teacher a room over has to come and ask us to be quiet. The only other thing that's good for 2 hour periods is having a free period in the morning or afternoon. The school allows for a flexible timetable so you can leave at 1pm on a day you have a free in the afternoon when usually you would end at 4pm. Some people don't even have to come to school on friday because of having 2 free's in the morning (friday ends at 1pm)

school is back up tomorrow and i already feel a headache coming bc of economics. how does anyone even sit through it

The only thing that's good about 2hr periods is that you can get through a load of content in one lesson. Some maths lessons we can get 4-5 subtopics done (questions included). Since we get so much time we basically get no homework (which is both good and bad as you have nothing that forces you to start studying other than personal motivation)

do you ever get double periods

How do people read their Shakespeare prescribed text? Like I don't mind writing about Shakespeare's plays but I can't concentrate when it comes to reading them.

I have the No Fear Shakespeare for King Richard III and it should be a bit okay but what becomes hard there is finding quotes because the language has changed and we must only use the English of his time which I don't understand.

Not in the traditional sense. My Monday is 2 hours of english advanced, 2 hours of MX1, 2 hours of MX2 so I guess you could consider that a double period

It's timetabled as 2 hours for MX2 on a Monday afternoon but the teacher generally takes us through the theory and a few examples, has us answer like 5 questions and lets us go so we generally spend an hour and a bit in there and then we can head home early.
