Does anyone else have to do "Drop Everything And Read" for 20 minutes everyday? Do you think it's beneficial?? It's so annoying! and so old.

It's crazy - seniors aren't even allowed to study, they have to be reading a novel or magazine!!!!!! You'd think they'd lighten up a little.

Now they've put it just before recess, so you can hear everyone's stomachs grumbling cos it's sooooo quiet!!!!

 

[mishka]

my DEAR teacher walks around the room and reads over your shoulder so he can see what you're reading!!!

Maybe WE should go on strike - boycott DEAR and go to the library to study instead!!

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

hahaha the last time I had to participate in dear was in year 4

 

[mishka]

no comics, no picture books, (guess that rules out the porn!), no textbooks, no study notes, and you can't read magazines ALL the time, you have to read a variety. It's sooooo stoopid!!!! You're lucky you've never had to do it!!!

 

[boredofschool]

Dear is just an excuse used to keep students quiet during roll call

 

[AsyLum]

DEAR ??

wtf rofl

 

[boredofschool]

lol

/shakes head at asylum

 

[Enlightened_One]

I never much liked it. We have it before school and it's where they mark the roll. I think it's just an excuse to get us to shut up, and to get a few dead beats to read something for once

Real Dear ended in year three.

 

[santaslayer]

I had it in year 7 and 8. It was fun, our's lasted for half an hour! :uhhuh:

 

[Gavvvvvin]

We used to have that, but they had to ditchit like after a week cos no one read =P

 

[baby_b]

nope... suckers... does anyone actually read??

 

[mazza_728]

we have to do it .. but in year 12 we're allowed to study.
i member it in all other years and it was shit boring! parently the school is reviewing its effectiveness ... hope they find its NOT EFFECTIVE!

 

[glycerine]

hahaha fuck i can't even remember the last time i had to do that shit

Yeah we have it!!!!!
But we just talk!!!!!!
It is good if you have not done your homework!!!!

LOL isn't that like a primairy school thing.

The last time I did it would have been in like year 5 or something. As if they'd make you do it in year 12. DEAR is just supposed to get little kids reading book. I can't believe anyone would have to do it in highschool. That would suck.

Can't you just refuse to do it. Or like appeal it. My schools got heaps of avenues for us if we want something changed. Plus we have year 12 forums too.

 

[rumour]

It's not that bad really!!!!!
We just have to stay in roll call for 15 minutes and read or study, they use the time to give messages, have prefect meetings etc.

 

[kochou]

yeh we only had that in primary school, i can't belive they make seniors do it too!

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

wft?!...that was soooo 8 years ago..

 

[*girl04*]

we dont have dear! ... well in primary school we did.

we dont have to read in roll call either ... we talk

 

[Rory]

Wow, I remember D.E.A.R feels like forever ago we were made to do that in Roll Call but I haven't done it or been made to do it for like 2 years, I didn't mind it though, being able to sit and read a book for 20minutes was fine by me.
