Nope. It's unlikely you'd know him, he's in my grade.shaun L ????

OH LOL i was thinking of MY grade lol, cos the guy i was talking about ALSO did no maths and sciences lolNope. It's unlikely you'd know him, he's in my grade.
LMAO! Im guessing your not asian. We only have 2 asian kids at our school and they are the smartest? Why is that? I wish i had their brains.he does maths 24/7
"ohh yeh i come over here from china and top 4 unit maths" (asian accent)
Who the eff is that?Nope. It's unlikely you'd know him, he's in my grade.
And I'll bet that he does 4unit english and probably history extension? See, the point that I made also encompassed NO EXTENSIONS, as well as no maths and science.Mate, I don't do Physics, I do 4U Maths and Chem, however my Maths and Chem are my lowest subjects. Instead, my high subjects are Modern History (97.4% RAW), Economics (98% raw), 2U English (95% raw) and 3U english (94% raw). 93 aligned suddenly doesn't seem so hard does it mate? And the range of subjects at my school is surprisingly diverse, I know a guy that does no maths no science and is about 30th in the grade. It's been done.
I understand that, but do realise that most kids in this range don't do 3-4 hours of solid work a night.
I wouldn't say all. And JR kids are very very very motivated. There are many reasons but all of us have a large drive (in my case it's a sex drive). And heaps of other schools have tutoring and coaching amongst their students. If you find tutoring unfair, get one yourself. You're just butthurt. No JR kid is programmed, they're often well rounded individuals.
QFT.
You cannot seriously be that retarded.And I'll bet that he does 4unit english and probably history extension? See, the point that I made also encompassed NO EXTENSIONS, as well as no maths and science.
As well, I am sorry to say, but JR kids are NOT well-rounded generally. All they are often involved in is the world of academics, and lack participation in other activities that are designed to enrich them in a way memorising an entire textbook of information or going to a coaching school/having a tutor will not.
And no, I won't get a tutor myself, though my point still stands - I strongly believe that tutors are unfair, and that is the reason JR kids do so well. Tell me this - how can an ASIAN student (no offence intended to asian students) do amazingly well in english when their parents don't speak a word of english - clearly, it is through having a tutor to either do the essays for them to add that level of sophistication required OR they do an essay and get their tutor to refine it until it is at a point of almost perfection.
And if it isn't 100% of JR kids that get tutoring, it's 99% - that is a fact, because I have many friends that are at JR (I'm at a selective school myself) or that have recently graduated from JR, and 100% of these kids have expressed how their respective cohorts are strung with virtually everyone having some form of coaching/tutoring to gain an "advantage" over not just their peers, but other students in the state collectively.
Finally, that point about outlawing tutor is something that should be considered, definitely. I strongly believe that if this was the case, JR students would NOT be at the top of the state because they would no longer be able to rely on tutors/coaching schools to pull them through/give them that extra drive and motivation/refine their work/give them extra resources, and so the new wave of independence would make them suffer academically.
I don't want to sound ignorant or anything, but I am definitely very passionate about this issue, and hate the idea of coaching and tutoring schools. I'm a non-believer, always have been and always will be.

I should say hi to you some time . I protest that definition of me and people have considered me to be pretty 'ruse-like' in the pastAnd I'll bet that he does 4unit english and probably history extension? See, the point that I made also encompassed NO EXTENSIONS, as well as no maths and science.

Hahahaha. Are you asian? My tutor didn't even touch my essays at all. I like to think that my english skills are pretty cool.And no, I won't get a tutor myself, though my point still stands - I strongly believe that tutors are unfair, and that is the reason JR kids do so well.

You amuse me. Obviously that's an exaggeration. Give me, oh, about 20 seconds, and I should be able to name a whole lot of people who didn't get tutored in my own grade.And if it isn't 100% of JR kids that get tutoring, it's 99% - that is a fact, because I have many friends that are at JR (I'm at a selective school myself) or that have recently graduated from JR, and 100% of these kids have expressed how their respective cohorts are strung with virtually everyone having some form of coaching/tutoring to gain an "advantage" over not just their peers, but other students in the state collectively.
The students themselves are the main drivers, as I said. Ruse is only top of the state for a few reasonsFinally, that point about outlawing tutor is something that should be considered, definitely.

I don't think you sound ignorant... just misinformed. The option of tutoring is open to everyone, after all. It's not just Ruse.I don't want to sound ignorant or anything, but I am definitely very passionate about this issue, and hate the idea of coaching and tutoring schools.

Seriously, stop complaining because you are jealous of JR's academic ability. Knowing people who go to JR I can say that quite a few are actually well-rounded individuals, they are not all dorky, midget nerds. Furthermore, about tutoring, wth? Good on those kids for getting tutoring, it shows they have an interest in academic success and should be thusly rewarded. They put inthe effort and reap the rewards. It's fair so stop whinging. After all, tutoring is available to the majority of people in some way, shape or form, so there is no bias towards JR students.And I'll bet that he does 4unit english and probably history extension?

+1How oblivious are you???
Being a selective schools kid yourself, you should know that they do a test, just like you, to test their abilities before being accepted. If I remember correctly, the entrance standard for that school corresponds to an IQ of ~ 145. That must have some contributing factor to the success of the school.
And it seems like you don't realise that a person born in Australia will obviously have a better command of the English language than a person living in a non-English speaking country.
dont forget there are alot of people that choose not to go to selective schools that may be just as intelligent. and also travelling distance. thats why i didnt go.How oblivious are you???
