reckon this one is preferable as they think not having the occasional breaks in between would cause them to burn out moreso than they already are.
For sure. But... They also have a few weeks off for Christmas, a ski holiday week and an autumn holiday week here. And, Smallsteps has only been going to school 8-12 most days... I don't get it! :D
Question for you... Did you often talk to your lecturers at uni? From my memory, I might have gone to talk to them once or twice in four years.
Not really in first year of my first course (lots of mostly stupid reasons behind that). I did a bit more in second year of my first course when I realised they were helpful/useful. Second course I was still not talking as much to the lecturers as I should have been as the mostly stupid reasons persisted but it was more than the first course, and I did end up with one of the more "interesting" lecturers as a facilitator and those of us that had that particular lecturer were like D: until we got into our one on one meetings and realised they were an infinitely better facilitator than lecturer but I don't know if that counts XD
