hell no, he is a pussy!!
wait till we make you recite the entire canterbury tales !!
followed by an exploration of the wonders of post modernism and see how it affects contemporary society...
then we'll laugh as your brains explode trying to justify science as a relevant and factual reality which is forever right

But considering brain function is just a whole lot of electrical charges, without atoms carrying those charges how would you think? *We are getting sadder by the day.Originally posted by AsyLum

The 'English' forces also have a valuable advantage; Textual Analysis. With this handy skill, we could manage to deflect any and all attempted attacks by noting relevant points about them, quoting each attack, and ultimately coming to understand them. (Possibly using Deconstructionist techniques even..) With this invaluable knowledge, the force is effectively blunted, being understood.
Additionally, Science often operates on the concrete level, which could then be brought into doubt through copious quantities of Post-Modern thought.
Is that equation really correct, or is it merely a contextually-derived, subjective value judgement? Indeed, perhaps other interpretations are of much, if not more value. How about the ever-changing nature of Science, as briefly related in the essay 'Peirce's Concept Of The Sign'?. Hmmmm...
Anyway, when not exploited, English/Humanities are about multiple correct answers, which gives more options beyond scientific laws...Not that I'm a 'Oh The Humanities!' person , no..

Wow ... this has been an extremely interesting discussion.
On the one hand, I feel sorry for mathematically minded people who despise and can't handle english. If maths were to become compuslory, I would have given up at the start. However, on the other hand, complaints on this level are not well justified as it is true that maths / science subjects scale much higher than english subjects - it would appear that the BOS has compensated for the troubles scientific people have encountered whilst under taking the english course. One may argue (as many have in this discussion) that english should not be compulsory in the first place in order to avoid this conflict, however I disagree as it is true that English as a subject is extremely beneficial to expressing one self during life, be it through written or spoken word. This course also attempts to give each student a clearer understanding of the world around us, eg. 'Telling the Truth' opened my eyes up to the media. I will never read an article or watch the news in the same way again! Not only this, but the jewels of literature that exist in this world are amazing - they not only provide us with a history to our world and its people, and open our eyes to numerous possibilities but are works of art, facinating, wonderful and readily available. The English course aims to give us an in-depth understanding of these texts whilst allowing us freedom and experience in interpretting each work in our own unique and individual way. This may also enable each person to discover something about themselves that they may not have known before. It is invaluable! Not only this, but the Senior English course refined each student's skills in expressing themselves - extremely important as a life skill. Although Maths is extremely valuable to many - it is not to all, and I know for myself, that I will never use integration again, nor find a need for it in my chosen field, whereas the skills learnt in the english course are applicable to all fields in different ways. The skills are there for life! Never forget it. Count your blessings!

well maths is important as well, so why isn't it in the compulsory list? also, the important english is what we learnt in year 10!
hmm
ok you still havent got it if you still think that the english your learnt in year ten was the important part, if anything it should be maths there not english...
seriously who is going to use imaginary numbers, the pythagorean theorem and other assorted equations and rules in their everyday life ?
