    Learning MH without a teacher!!!

    Hey, I don't know if any of you have read my posts in the General forum regarding my continually absent teacher, but I was wondering if anybody has any good textbook recommendations that I can use to write notes.

    Teachers Being Away!!!!

    yeha that's what I've been doing, but it really does help having a teacher. It's not like you get to ask the textbook questions..lol..don't worry I've tried. But yeah, this is really terrible for a catholic school, but then again looking at our schools ranking not as suprising.

    Well actually my exams aren't easy. All the questions used in the exams were previous CSSA Trial Papers or Independent Papers. So no I don't think that they were easy, I mean there were a great range of marks for all the exams. For example, in Advanced English I got 95%, next mark down was 89%...

    Teachers Being Away!!!!

    yeah exactly, I mean I've had to teach myself in the past, but having a teacher there makes it generally alot easier and it's not like it's too much to ask for. It really does severely disadvantage you not having a teacher.
