History hurts, when lobbed at you

Parent’s Diary: Leaving Cert students often lose their sense of humour in the first week of June: "If taking this approach, it’s good to stand well back and to remove all throwable objects from your child’s reach, but particularly her history book. (I speak from experience here. Who knew the past could hurt so much?)
My daughter is a bit like your son or daughter: she is bright, intelligent and doesn’t like exams very much.
The things she prefers to exams include her mobile phone, friends and not doing exams. So the current system probably doesn’t suit her very much, just like it doesn’t suit the majority of teenagers who will be staring into the abyss this evening."
