[:: ck ::]

hrm, if you are dedicated enough, you can teach yourself a fair bit of maths at home.

I can name someone on these forums who taught himself the whole 4u course in year 9...
so yeah, I don't see why people should be freaked out over how many hours of maths they or someone else do a week.
:-\

anyway, most 4u maths students (not me) get maths tuition.
*shrug*
that makes up for any less hours, methinks.

heck, Prior makes you do, what, an extra 6 hours a week? 2 2hour classes, and all that homework.
:-S

so go do maths at home! Hardly anyone does maths at school, its more just wasting time.

oh, and imo the reason we don't do as well as we should in english is that our english staffroom just sucks. :-\
Not liek you don't need to know how to write essays in other subjects, yeah? How do you think we manage to do well in most nearly every other subject? Miraculously acquire english skills, aye?

:-\
Isn't Fort Street like that too? Like, in my school, I never got taught how to write a formal essay. I'm serious. It's kinda like assumed. "Yeah, intro, body, conclusion, you know what to do . . . i want an essay by thursday" etc

its not just our staff thats crap. ive spoekn to people from other schools and the majority have problems with their english staffroom. its just a stupid syllabus and teachers cant teach it properly.

 

[Grey Council]

who said Archman?
>.<
Don't assume things.

Archman still hasn't done it.
:-\

He is too lazy. :-\
He doesn't do ANY work, trust me.

and fair enough ezzy.

 

[CrashOveride]

Sorry for assuming =p
Which dude was it?
Thats some pretty heavy stuff ^_^

im new to syd boys, and found that people in my class, dont want to learn their english. The teachers are bad, but the students create more trouble because of their lack of discipline. Thank god i changed english classes.

 

[Grey Council]

lol, you mean the english class you were in was bad.

hrm, 'part from ross, and jones ( a bit ), i can't say i've had any decent english teachers.

and don't worry about who it was. You should be able to guess anyway. ^_^

 

[velox]

Im happy i have ross now, so i can actually learn, instead of listening to other students insulting the teacher

 

[ezzy85]

a problem with syd high was that people were obsessed with doing well in maths rather than english. they thought "english is crap, our teachers are crap, maths is more important. why bother with english". another reason why we were so bad at english.

 

[velox]

yeah thats true, my old english teacher kept drilling that into us, Stop doing soo much maths!!

 

[Grey Council]

lol, also true.


but it is wrong to say that "you can pass the selective schools exam without good english, and that is the reason that syd high does bad in english".

 

[CrashOveride]

If its not archman i cant think of who else, unless ur speaking of someone like CM or something =) Or maybe Turtle

 

[Grey Council]

forget about it!

matters little

doubt he'd appreciate me tellling everyone. :-\
