I just wanted to finish this thread on a high note and say I made it to rank 23/152 for Yr 12 in Adv English overall compared to my sour Yr 11 performance.
Teachers asked me to drop to Standard and even a so-called 'friend' who I initially sought support from and simply turned on me...
I mean there are similar fetishes and mentalities amongst both Greeks and Serbs, where language only separates them.
A lot of them are not even practising yet they get soo defensive and apprehensive when any bit of their religion (which they didn't believe in much) is being challenged, for...
News flash I survive the purge and remain in Advanced!
This week when I came back I realised heaps of people and their parents called and emailed the school about this. They had a meeting with everyone yesterday who got a letter sent home because they got less than 70, which was alot of...
I can't tell you I am 100% sure that I never got any kind of warning or that there is such a school policy. Not even in my Half Yearly and Yearly report now that I have just checked. Only on the last week of term did I get such a warning in the letter that was sent to me.

If I don't point this out, then there won't be anything backing me in my case to stay in Advanced. Why should they be angry at me pointing this out?
It would at least put pressure on them to act and have a discussion about this.
The English faculty is quite oblibvious to know how well I am...
I had like to make clear that no kind of warning was given, even in the form of a verbal warning, report letter, note or even in the Parent Teacher Interviews let alone there was no suggestion given to drop. I reemphasise they gave me no such warnings or chances to improve in Adv English.
You did not come out in anyway harsh to me, you are in fact well reasoned and logical in what you are saying. I agree with all that you have said in principle, even though I may slightly disagree on some parts like on not taking this case further than the English faculty if all is not resolved...
I know. 'r' component is orbital radius as intergrand already pointed out. Not sure if we have to go into a lot of the theory behind calling it orbital radius.
