A Brisbane high school may schedule upcoming individual exam times to accommodate some Year 12 students attending a Taylor Swift concert in Sydney next month, concerned parents say.
Eh, I think this is splitting hairs. “change exam times because of” and “plan exam times with consideration to” are near enough to equivalent that I can’t see any problem saying the former.
They are different though. Trying to avoid scheduling issues is a smart move. Booking in exams when you know students are going to miss them (whether they’re “allowed” to or not) isn’t going to help anyone.
But after the schedule has been set, when a best effort has been made to make it work for as many people as possible, “I’m going to a concert” won’t cut it.
Education Queensland (EQ) said the exam schedule within the block has not been set and the Deputy Principal’ s email was gauging the possible impact of a Taylor Swift concert on student attendance and scheduling of exams so this “could potentially be factored in”.
That headline is something…
They can’t change the exam time of an exam they haven’t scheduled yet.
