Properly organised games are also good because there are professionals who will tell you about what goes on in your local area.
I've just finished my exams. I've only just joined my school so I did them in physics, maths, chemistry and biology. Maths was hard. But I didn't get stressed about it. I can retake them at any time so I'm not bothered really.
I don't always hand in my homework on time. There should be a three strikes policy like that school on the news so that if you don't do your homework three times you get suspended for two days. It's a good idea from an educational point of view. I do okay but I'd do better if pushed.
Nothing's going to come of not doing it. Young people understand in the long term, but in the short term they'd rather watch TV. The short-term need is stronger.
