its fun after doing the work and getting the results to show it paid off. It's also fun when your teacher explains it in detail - but you just sit there knowing and verifying everything said. It wont be fun until you put in the required work though...

You need *teachers* for physics???
Maybe for some of the harder calculations (which there aren't many), but the rest should be self learnable. Just read the textbook and do the questions at the end of each chapter. However, most of the texts I've encountered put way too much emphasis on calculations

Btw, teachers may be useful if you don't have discharge tubes or liquid nitrogen at home ;)

Discharge tubes are easy to get, of course your parents may not like you destroying things to get them. Liquid Nitrogen is a bit harder but not impossible.

all of the science teachers at my school live in a world of their own... theyre all crazy.
in chemistry; our teacher is that far behind, were still doing acids.. we've got two whole topics to go that is 12 sections of the syllabus in 13 skool weeks to the HSC. addded to that, he's got two weeks of long service leave starting tomorrow. my sister nursed his mother with dimensia... i think he's got it too.
it took him two weeks to go over our halfyearly.. and he didnt even get through the whole paper, he gave up. he spent two days going over one multiple choice answer..


anyways, in physics(different teacher, thank god) he expects to either know all the information in the universe so he doesnt have to teach us or expects us to teach ourselves, some sections of the syllabus he just skips. he ignores that they are there.
in yr 11 he decided that he didnt want to catch up with all the work we had do to finish the prelim course, he just started the HSC course. i think tomorrow he's starting our option: astro physics, because the textbook doesnt have up to date information on I to I. we still havent done our motors assessment.. he keeps delaying it, apart from that, he's in bad health.. high blood pressure and all that, and wants to retire.

My physics teacher had a baby and she left us with a senile old man, who actually retired a while ago, but came back to teach for us.
He's crazy. He rabbles on and on about stuff and we don't know anything. Right now, I'm considering not going to Physics anymore and just going to the library to sit there and write syllabus notes until my teacher comes back next term.
My friend and I were so disinterested in physics, we just left half way through an afternoon lesson and ran off to her car. Apparently he chased us, but we kept going. *shrug*

What I'm basically trying to say is... Physics is shit.

Is his name: Mr Wicks by any chance?

last time i did physics (before i dropped) turned me off science...and we dont tend to finish the syllabus anyway so there wasnt any point in continuing
