How time flies

Time flies... it just goes right by and before you know it another year has passed. Getting considerably less and less angpows this year and getting more and more aunts asking me "the question". 

Well, was just thinking back at my old secondary school days just the other day. I keep wondering why students nowadays are so busy and why school ends so late. I don't remember having 2 recesses in a day or having to stay back late for CCA. 

School used to be double session, when I was in lower secondary at least. So no possibilities of early or late classes. School had to start at 12.30pm sharp and end at 6pm. 

School used to be on a 6-day timetable. So CCA was always on Saturday, we never stayed back on weekdays and we enjoyed coming back to school on Saturdays. In fact, we would gladly stay from 6.30am to 4pm on Saturdays just for CCA. 

Things changed in Secondary 3 when TK went single session. But school still ended relatively early, 2pm latest. I realise that we did not have a subject called Social Studies, so that knocks off a few periods off the timetable. 

Well, things have certainly changed. I wonder how all this helps students of this era, but I would certainly be tired by the above.
