Study Leave becoming Gaming Leave
In the European education system, a student is granted time from school to prepare for one of the biggest exams in their life, GCSE. Unfortunately, according to UK schools minister this time is not used to study, but to play games. Oh the horror!
"Here in the UK, right at the end of a teen's secondary school career, they must sit through exams called GCSEs. These exams determine the complete future of a sitter, the ones that will decide whether you're riding a Ferrari to your own company's high-rise building or if you're picking up syringes from a rotten bench in a shady London park. At least, that's what students are made to think.
So, considering said exams are so tremendously important to students, why is The Man trying to strip away the precious free time which they need for study? The answer, according to UK schools minister David Miliband, is videogames. Ah, those tricksy videogames are up to no good again."
