i felt very guilty when my parents moved me to a expensive private school so i wanna "give back" by studying hard and getting a high atar. aiming to get state rank for math..
No offence here, but no one just casually 'knows' or can 'aim' for it lmao. It just happens. People come into these courses (especially one with really demanding content) with dreams of doing something extraordinary because you 'like' the content and therefore believe a state rank is within reach. Statistically, people don't realise they were in the range to state rank but get it anyway. If you continually make these goals, it is likely you'll become stressed and therefore perform worse to as one who did not enrol with such standards or expectations. Take it from someone who had a decent chance (high mark for both at1s in my old and new school) as an accelerant at the start of the year and fucked their assessment in term 2 to the point where I need to go beyond the effort of the average student in the top 10 to study for the remaining tasks to somewhat salvage what can be saved from my b6 prospects. Do not make expectations. I'm not saying just to u btw, I'm referring to all students in this thread that are moving to senior studies next year or are accelerating. These are years where you'll have much less control. You can let fate decide if your efforts are state ranking level, or make expectations, possibly (or most likely) become stressed and perform badly. Make your parents be proud of your efforts, not your fantasies. Maybe this will direct you through to a state rank anyways. 🤷‍♀️

it has to be illegal, tbh. you can't charge someone like 20,000 to attend a school.
average expenditure for government schools is 20,000 per student, so i reckon if youre going to a private school with better resources 20k is reasonable. def dont want my tax money subsidising private schools (it does anyways)

your parents will be proud of you regardless if they see youre trying hard. i think a better way to "give back" to your parents, or at least something that is equally important is to spend time with them and talk with them. i hang out with my dad and mum as much as i can, i talk with them, they appreciate it, as do i. i talk with them about how im going in school, how theyre doing in work, they appreciate that. let them know you love them, theyll appreciate that. your parents will be more happy if you love them and hang out with them, more than a one off state rank.

also if youre prone to being a perfectionist and being very disappointed when you set up unrealistic expectations, dont try aspire to a state rank. state ranks are really really difficult, especially in a very very saturated subject like math. if you dont feel too upset when you dont meet an expectation of yourself, then sure have that aspiration for a state rank. but if youre going to get hurt if you dont get a state rank its bests to be more realistic, like aiming for a b5 or b6
