Does anyone on here realise how many schools do that? There was an old Prelim thread last year where heaps of people said that there school start HSC work early (one student even said they had completed an entire module before the HSC officially started) .. I contacted the BOS about it and they couldn't care less.
But you see, Ruse doesn;t start their hsc early...Sarah182 said:I think it's a bit ridiculous to say that Ruse is the ONLY school to start HSC work early...

If you're so concerned then I highly suggest that you go teach yourself. There's a lot of information on the internet and a lot of people here would be willing to help you. Kids in James Ruse can accelerate by themselves. They don't really need their teachers that much.Why is it that James Ruse is the only school in the State that starts HSC and Prelim work way before they are allowed to by the BOS?
No other selective school does this, even the high ranking girl and boy schools play by the rules and only start the HSC course after Year 11 has officially finished.
If anyone has seen a James Ruse maths test, they are doing 3 unit work in year 9/10 and their exams are more difficult than any other school urely because they have worked so far ahead.
Officially the BOS does NOT allow this yet they cast a blind eye over their love child with the politicians and spin doctors who want a model school for NSW. We don't tell the other states that this 'model' school plays by their own set of rules.
I find what James Ruse is doing extremely selfish and stereotypical of their school mentality of "marks marks marks".
The BOS also have less than impressive contact 'details' which are probably siphoned straight into their spam folders or answering machines.
People think it's impossible to overcome James Ruses' high standard but their is talent in every school, except they work hard and have no life.
I say we should make some noise and get the BOS to rethink their special treatment policy. I propose that because of their unfair advantage over other schools they should have their scaling reduced because they already have and advantage over other students even before they cheat and do the HSC material behind everyone else's back.
I don't understand the fascination with not bringing up old posts, especially when the issue is still relevant. In the words of Pauline Hanson: please explain.Way to bring up a post from 2005.
QFTI'd wager that most kids at Ruse are very much smarter than their teachers.
nah the issue is not so relevant my school is a public school that ranked 117, and we did the 2unit math HSC in yr 11 and in my school lots of ppl do the science subjects's HSC in yr 11, my friend in some gay prviet skool did 3u math in yr 11 and ive heard gosford high started doing calcus in yr 10 and many other school that accereate from yr 10. so srsly i dont see this as a problem.I don't understand the fascination with not bringing up old posts, especially when the issue is still relevant.

Well, I know that Baulko and Sydney Boys both teach HSC work in Yr 10.
Because then certain schools will have much greater teachers and resources than other schools, making it EVEN MORE unfair than the already unfair schooling system (Public vs Private, Selective vs Non-Selective)It's tall poppy syndrome at its height. Even supposing that such a rule existed in by the BOS, why should it exist? Why shouldn't schools be able to teach their students as they see fit, like the example I gave above?
