I propose a 'Harry Potter School Holiday'!
-
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.
ItÂ’ll 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, they’ll be more than ready to go back to their school work, aided with the new spells they’ve learnt over the two days.
But of course, one canÂ’t rule out the possibility that students may get too depressed to study after knowing the identity of the two characters thatÂ’ll die in the book.
OMGÂ…I canÂ’t believe IÂ’m such a genius! -

Why buy book?

I don't think I will buy so early, not only because the book will definitely drop in price much later, but also because I can easily download from the net -
