As we all know, the final book of Harry Potter is going to come
out very soon. And from past experience, some of us can also
predict that students all over Singapore will be going crazy over
the book.
We can expect to find students reading the book everywhere and
every time. During morning assembly, during lessons/lectures (yes,
including pe lessons), during recess time/break, during the
school-held 'sexuality awareness' talk, during homework time at
home, etc. They'll be reading it in school, at home, in the toilet,
in the library, in the chemistry lab, etc.
Since these bunch of chosen children/teenagers will have to handle
the duties of completing their school work and the scared task of
reading the holy book, one can also expect not only the quality of
their school work to drop, but also the speed of their reading. An
A-grade nerd may suddenly find himself scoring an F-grade in
his assignment. A book that usually takes one day to finish will
instead be read over three days.
Itll be a lose-lose situation for everyone.
After some meditation on this issue, the hidden genius within me
finally awakens and a solution was found.
You see, schools should simply implement a two-day Harry Potter
School Holiday when the final book is finally released. One day
for students to queue up and buy the book, another day for the
student to focus all their spiritual energy on the scared text. And
when the students finally goes back to school after the refreshing
two-day break, theyll be more than ready to go back to their
school work, aided with the new spells theyve learnt over the two
days.
But of course, one cant rule out the possibility that students may
get too depressed to study after knowing the identity of the two
characters thatll die in the book.
OMG
I cant believe Im such a genius!
