So why did you choose Standard English?
With all the stuff going around that Standard English aligns down terribly, what made you do Standard English?

I had to choose Standard English because I did badly in my School certificate, and as a result, I was forced to pick it.

That sucks, especially because the SC means nothing.

my reason is that i despise english and its also compulsory + i herd that standard and advanced has similar scaling and is also very hard to get band 6 in standard.

The school forced me to do it because I didn't get a Band 6!!! I got 87!!!! which is so stupid, because a) the SC doesn't matter and b) 87 is not too bad.
stupid school. had to pick up 4unit maths coz of the school

english is not ma strongest subject as u can see from ma sig. The head teacher said that it's best to drop advanced to standard coz if i get these marks in advanced it would drag down ma UAI (well know ATAR) =)

Didn't get to choose - the principal bloke stuck me in standard with all the slackers.

I have this working dog who helps muster cattle on our farm (trust me there is a point to this). She runs around the cattle, jumping back and forth, barking, twisting and turning, almost as if she is dancing. The cattle stop and stare at her, wondering what on earth she is trying to do and what she wants. She just jumps around, and looks busy, but rarely gets the job done.

This is like my Advanced english teacher. She dances around te point of an asked question, but never manages to answer it. (when asked to define 'context', she said it was the 'context of a era', and would not budge from that answer)

Thats why I dropped to standard. My teacher was useless as tits on a bull! If we didnt understand something, she made out that she had explained herself perfectly well, numerous times, but in reality she just moved around, answering unasked and unrelated questions. hahaha

I chose standard because advance is for the people who are pro at english.
Don't really care tbh, i'm gonna get a higher atar than most of them anyways.
