I know they're shattered, most of my kids are at school at 0800 and finish their days at 2200. Breaks for lunch and supper...but if you're asleep you can't learn.

I've not given any exams, either, one of my co-t's thinks if I tell them they have to learn for exams they'll do better.

Bet they don't. They don't have fundamentals, much the same way Thai students who have been studying English for eight years still can't write a declarative sentence.
