How easy would Work and Leisure been? Equality and Difference is straightforward, but Work and Leisure seems straightforward-er.

i only did society and culture in year 11, with the false expectation that i would actually be learning real, meaty stuff about different cultures and how socities fucntion, and although you touch on that alittle, i felt as though year 11 was teaching me basically, how to become a good reseracher (mainly for the PIP, and for 'future investigations' you might have') but yeah, ive heard you learn alot better stuff in yr 12, like my school did case studies on Buddhism and China...but in the end i dropped it because the PIP was too much for me, with 13 units and all

My PIP was done in the space of about three weeks.

But then again, my subjects weren't too bad homework-wise.

It's an easy course if you half half a brain and can get your name on the right line in the exam.

oh oky thanks
i getcha now .
do you get marked down for it though?
its such a bummer my school deputy told us that things has changed that once u a pick a subject u cant drop it unless you pass the subject, u have 3 weeks to decide in yr 11 and then you're stuck with it and if u dont pass u cant drop it

IMHO drop it as soon as you can... it was fine in year 11 (at my school anyway) but then come year 12... it was like medevil torture... only in a class room and without the physical pain... so really it wasn't so medievil....

but once again... get out while you still can...

Not to scare you or anything!

I found the lack of intelligence in the room physically painful. The course was easy marks for me, though. Worth the pain.

I think in my class I contributed to the "lack of intelligence" group... though it's switched around in Ancient History.

If something intelligent comes out of your mouth when you open it, you're not in the lack of intelligence group. The lack of intelligence group is made up of those who only come to school to be babysat and really don't care about their own learning or the learning of others.
