im being serious tho... it gives you a chance to get the tutors you want, and you don't have to deal with a negative school environment + you are automatically ranked #1 so you get all of your marks --> dont have to worry about ranks
You can't do hsc homeschooled L ragebait bud ik your a troll account

even if my parents werent too busy my parents both graduated overseas so they dont have any experience with the system they did come first in my home country for some subjects but at the end of the day its not the same system (if anything rlly ill be disadvantaged)

You have to hire qualified external tutors, and anyways homeschooled is such a bad environment. No competition, filled with distractions, you would barely be motivated
fr fr i have my yearlies in week 3 n i have done one exercise of math the whole day 🙏

i mean it sorta depends on the person you are
if you are self-driven and intrinsically motivated, working at home will provide you with an environment where you can fully concentrated
if you are a shallow dimwit who only works because you see other ppl working around you and you wanna copy them, then yeah maybe u should consider attending school with others

also there are definitely more distractions at a hundred-ranked comprehensive school (e.g. vaping, bullying, relationships etc) that would outweigh the distractions you have at home (literally nothing except maybe technology but that applies for school as well)

also no travel time + u get to eat the food u want
You sound like someone who just sits around and eats all day 😭

idk if this is still an argument for my thread or it's just a debate between you two but im not gonna get homeschooled if your argument for my thread still stands

the only good skl around me is strathfield girls n i wasnt allowed to go there even tho i live on one of the intake areas but on the lower end where 'it isn't part of the local area' i try applying every yr but they wont budge

do u think there is a way around it? (my parents btw when i first moved to australia got a note from the department to let us in n they still didnt budge)

(to explain: say for example there is street cake, the very top to the middle end of the street is in area but i live on the end of the street n therefore wont count as in area; tbh its so stupid bc i literally live on the street but they just bitches - the principal)
if i were you, id get the same department note you got back then, maybe even get a new updated one, go with your half yearly report and and proof of achievements and extracurriculars you have (basically showing that you are a good student and they should take you) and go organise a meeting with the principal or smth

might not work but from what i hear abt strathfield girls they care abt their ranking a bit too much so if you can show youre smart, they are being unreasonable and they should consider you they might do it idk. try this next term tho dont wait until next year

nah but it can go from 0 to 5 if you yourself get 5 b6’s
there are many people who get good results from dogshit ranked schools e.g @carrotsss and @Armon
ohh im not talking abt the school overall @jane1820 says the individual subjects they want to do get 0 band 6s. its harder for your subject band 6 numbers to jump than your overall school band 6 numbers if that makes sense

Naa bro if those schools don't want you from the start they gatekeep entry no matter what. Its a lost cause IMO I think moving onto to other schools is a more reliable option

jokes aside tho if ur course doesnt require a high atar theres no point in putting in all the extra effort
idk what course i wanna do tho maybe optometry or a math teacher
but if optometry im moving to melbourne bc the university of melbourne has a double degree of something and a 'doctor of optometry' so i enter as a student n graduate as a doctor

for math teacher, im not gonna do math in uni bc all my math teachers said its hard n boring maybe a science degree (one of the ext 2 math tecahers has a bachelor of teacher master of science - so no math degree) n teaching doesnt need a high atar

if moving matters to you just do it bro. if it doesnt work and your parents get pissed at least you'll know it was worth a shot
