Did anyone else stop during the Maths test at 11:00 today for 1 minute silence? (1 Viewer)

[Bulldog4lyf]

For rememberance day on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.

I had like half an hour to do 3 questions so I did.

Lest we forget.

 

[auSASQUATCH]

Well I did but didnt...

Considering we were all in a 2 hour silence :S

 

[Hao368]

hahah. we asked our teachers if we could stand up and they said no ):

so we sat in silence. like we sat in silence in a test normally anyway =\

 

[ziggy.zoozah]

That's nice of you. I'm surprised that the SC would have run the maths paper during the time!!! I know that there's no HSC exams on today.

 

[speedofsound]

lol no. I could hear the trumpets outside though.

 

[want2beasenior]

Our PA system doesnt flow to the hall so they didn't tell us to, but i could hear the announcement and looked around to see what everyone else was doing and no-one noticed, so i just kinda stopped for a bit and then kept on working... i had tons of time anyway

 

[Miss Sunshine]

we did the one minute silence before the maths exam so that we weren't interrupted

 

[Scissors]

ahaha, i slept through it. i woke today at 12:45.

 

[ziggy.zoozah]

ahaha, i slept through it. i woke today at 12:45.

Disrespectful.

 

[Scissors]

Disrespectful.

to be honest, i wouldn't have paid my respects anyway.

i'm grateful for what those men and women set out to do, but i'm in no way about to advocate war.

 

[Paradox1345]

lol the supervisors did, with their eyes closed while we *did* the test.

 

[DoctorPie]

I didn't stop persay, but I looked up at 11:00 and acknowledged it. I made sure I did afterwards, also.

 

[suzlee]

We did that just before the exam at like 9am

 

[kawaiinlove]

We did but we did it at like 10.30

 

[orthentix]

lol no. I could hear the trumpets outside though.

Me too, i go to all saints and the church was right next to the exam hall.

 

[victoria10]

[Snicho]

I find that very stupid that they put this on this date. It's the 90th Anniversary for God sake and it would never happen again. There's only 3 World War One veterans left in Britain today. The last World War One veteran living in Australia, passed away during the weekends. We're never going to have the chance again to pay our respects for these men and women in front their eyes soon. To thank them and to let them know that they will never be forgotten for their sacrifice in the name of goodness, freedom, happiness and peace.
