Wait you mean like you have time at school where you're not being actively taught? At my school and in the uk in general (i think) that was never a thing for us, studying was something we were meant to do in our own time

Slovakia here. The school is kinda crap. 2 times each week the whole day is subject called "Professional training", but we almost never do anything at all in there. Whole 2 days of nothing, I am being serious. It's basically just for attendance, and even that just partially. If you arrive 4 hours late, the teacher will sign you off as if you were there the whole day.

I hope it changes this year. I hope.

Also, math teacher allows us to listen to music during exams. That was her idea, actually.

But we have also integrated the phones into the process. Teachers send us notes we're meant to work with during classes, on our phones. Likewise we do exams on our phones. Adapt and overcome. This is already high school though. Only the first hear of high school is mandatory, now I am here because I want to study, not because I have to. I could leave anytime if I wished to do that.

That seems like a far more reasonable idea to me. You can't fight change. You have to adapt it to an achievable goal.

Nearly half of my time in public school (depending on the class) was time spent independently working on things. Time that the only thing between me and completing a task was disregarding the various noises my classmates were making.
