Poll: Would you drop english if you could? (1 Viewer)

[Line|z0r]

I know I would!

 

[smallcattle]

i would not drop it, i just wish its not compulsory.. i dont hate english that much, but its the fact that it has to be counted towards UAI which is really pissin me off and givin me pressure

 

[Gavvvvvin]

No because its a bludge . . . well the class work was . . . the exams wont be

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

Yes, because it's a worthless subject. Well for me anyway so don't badger me with "But for people who want to be journalists" etc. etc.

 

[Candypants]

Definitely not, I love English.

 

[Line|z0r]

yay! the yes votes are in front!

it's not so much the learning about books/philosophy etc that I hate it's the way we are tested. The criteria is just too unreasonable imho. You don't really know what they are looking for... eg, my english teacher: "I don't want you guys to just write about all the things I've taught you... I want you to bring me something fresh and new that I haven't thought of. If not, you will all score under 50%. "

I don't know if I've expressed it clearly, but it's as if we are doing all these essays to reassure the board of studies that we have learnt what they have taught us and also come up with some new brilliant aspect to the course they didn't think of.

bah, rambling when i should be studying *disconnects from net*

 

[Gavvvvvin]

* Also disconnects from the net *

Goodday!

 

[rainonmay]

i would drop it

 

[SarahMary]

i'd drop it. in fact i probably wouldn't have picked it in the first place

 

[timrie6]

I would drop Advanced and keep Extension

 

[thejosiekiller]

id keep adv cause ive started getting good marks finally

 

[hipsta_jess]

I have two regrets from school, one is that I didn't do biology, and the other is that I only did Advanced English (I probably should have done 3u)

 

[mack]

Im not sure whether i would drop it......English marking to me seems like a sphere of chaos. Identical responses can get competely different marks from different teachers.

 

[kimmeh]

before i would, but now i'm not too sure. my improvements in english has given alot of confidence, and i guess i was lacking confidence then when i said i hated it. though i wouldnt suprised if english wasnt compulsory, 80% of the english teachers would be on the dole

 

[withoutaface]

English should be compulsory. But so should maths.

 

[grk_styl]

English should be compulsory. But so should maths.

I have to say that I agree with you there. Both give u a basis for a lot of things.

I wouldnt drop english...I do 4units of it, and I would do 10 units of English given the chance

 

[Sarah168]

No. I would still do 3u English either way.

 

[Sickle]

If I couldn't find other classes I would rather do then I wouldn't drop English. But if there was something that I preffered more than English would be dropped in a flash!

 

[santaslayer]

English should (and is) compulsor. Maths shouldn't coz I can't do it.

 

[Plebeian]

At the start of the year, I would have said yes, but I have a really good teacher so not any more. I agree with English being compulsory anyway.
