I'm not saying a large majority of jobs do, but a fair few of them do.
Meh. But like if your mom owns the floor, she could stay there and do it. She has the option, even if for some reason it doesn't work for her. If that makes sense?

Admittedly 30mins was more at very early years, but in Year 6 the most it would take was 2hrs and that was for like, big projects. (Of course this is just my school) I agree, 3-4hrs is ridiculous though. it shouldn't be that much, and it shouldn't be abolished entirely.
Well yes, and we're talking about the early years, yes? I really don't see the point of it though. It's meant to help but all I find is it causes hassle. Plus that's why you don't homeschool your kids.. so you don't have to make them work and help them through coursework and stuff.

Secondary Schools for me were/are Year 7-11 Compuslory.

Pre GCSE you're forced to do One language, Maths, Science, English, History so forth.

At GCSE I was forced to do English, Maths, Science (With a choice to take them together or seperatly as Bio/Chem/Phys), IT and one language. It was then free choice to pick another 5-7 subjects (depending on how many you could fit in.)

Then the optional Sixth Form where you pick everything you take. Usually 4 subjects and you drop one eventually.

(hope that helps.)
Yeah that helps for sure. Gracias.
