Marked down for quoting racist slurs and cusswords? (1 Viewer)

Unfortunately in HSC, it's not. It's all about finding the right idea, and proving it.

Which is a shame...

it is very frustrating.

The main thing the markers don't really like about the use of swear words is when kids use them just so they can swear in an essay, but if it is integral to your argument then swearing is fine. Just don't use them because you think it would be cool to write fuck in an essay.

English is freedom of expression you can say whatever the hell you want.
My friend got marked down for writing about rape last year lol...Although her story was fairly graphic.

Exact same thing happened to a year 11 earlier this year, I think she got counselling and shit too lol.
