gollark: If they run that whole cycle fast enough it'll average out as a reasonable situation!
gollark: Outside of high-level stuff (GCSE *maybe*, probably A-level) I think it's *mostly* irrelevant if you take a few weeks off.

gollark: Probably people with compromised immune systems or something should avoid school.
