    Selective schools with incompetent teachers?

    I reply here: refer to http://community.boredofstudies.org/2/school-secondary-education/259437/sydney-technical-high-school-entering-year-11-help-3.html#post7201604 But yeah the whole secondary education system, particularly selective schools, needs reform, but ultimately like most things in...

    Sydney Technical High School - Entering Year 11 (HELP)

    Yeah a lot of teachers have left, I've heard. It seems the retiring of key staff especially the former deputy and also from memory the head of Art. A lot of teachers are at the point of retiring anyway, entire faculties are being replaced. A lot of change I would guess has happened in the past 2...

    Sydney Technical High School - Entering Year 11 (HELP)

    @Werq @HT Art is probably as fierce as HT English; at least in terms of teacher power politics/influence. "also my whole yr bought essays" - I doubt the whole year would have bought essays (unless you are talking Visual Arts), but I suspect people do.

    Selective schools with incompetent teachers?

    ^ Yeah that must suck. My year was probably lucky in that no-one cared about English; and most of the top students in my year headed down the Engineering/Science pathways. Personally I think the choice for new deputy (who was HT welfare when I was there, yikes); was not the best. Report it to...

    Sydney Technical High School - Entering Year 11 (HELP)

    The current welfare advisor at Sydney Tech is really good, he helped me when i was there (he was my year advisor then). Every school has its politics though. The former deputy was very good, I heard he retired recently. English department is always one to watch though at that school.

    Is there such a thing as Gender?

    For the sake of consistency, I thought to address some of boredofstudiesuser1 stuff. I am the impression that certain opinions, such as those of experts carry more weight and therefore should be more trustworthy, except politicians. An appeal to experts, does not equal appeal to majority...

    Is there such a thing as Gender?

    Cool, we have some agreement then. I would also agree in generality. Although the question of accuracy (rather than validity) is the real scientific question. I had a read of that article earlier when I made my original reply, probably need to re-read. I find it interesting, if evolution had...

    Is there life after Death?

    I agree with Paradoxica. In terms of science, I think the best answer is non-conclusive. But I obviously think there is life after death, but that follows from a belief in God and Jesus etc.

    Is there such a thing as Gender?

    Questioning inferences made from scientific data are perfectly fine, as that is primarily what macroevolution is. for instance does the current model of macro-evolution; adequately explain things like the Cambrian explosion (or Cambrian radiation)? Or even something as simple as the appendix...

    Is there such a thing as Gender?

    As does my original. Like I said, just because you are right (scientifically/morally), and they are wrong, does not entitle you to insult them, more specifically their family. I was using a general observation and applying to a specific situation. The reason is you originally were not engaging...

    Is there such a thing as Gender?

    strawman: Faith is not belief with lack of evidence. I'll see if I can look in also separately into those links, if you want :)

    Is there such a thing as Gender?

    Sorry I will call a spade, a spade. You don't demonstrate/educate by saying to people they are stupid and/or their parents are stupid. Even if you are not making an argument (which as you claim). You need a better way that resulting to insulting one's family. Cyber-bullying is a real thing...
