Study leave isn't meant to be a holiday

1045am. Older daughter not in school but in bed. She isn't on study leave yet but will be from next week as her A levels begin in a few weeks. But the holiday spirit in which my children take study leave seeems to have set in early.

Yesterday, older son came in from school cheering and hitting high fives and saying "yessssssssssss". Why? Because he is now on study leave (his A/Ss start today) so reckons the fun begins now.

Do other children take study leave in the same spirit? My two eldest are both pretty clever, so they know they don't have to work too hard. But this endless BBC sports-wikipedia-Championship Manager-US-soap-operas fest just seems crazy.

Is it my fault they are so lazy? Probably.
