    didn’t get 1st in my best subject, how do I keep going?

    This might seem like a useless thing to complain about.. But we recently got back the reports for our last year of work, and I did my absolute best, came 1st on 80% of activities, and got really good marks, so I was hoping I’d see my name on the chart, but I wasn’t. To be fair, I didn’t fully...

    Has an adhd diagnosis ever helped anybody?

    when i was younger i got tested for a different label on the spectrum, but they decided to give up because they didnt want to label me so young, and thought i was just 'gifted'. i then had a long period of tantrums and school hating, from what we assumed was the content not being engaging...

    Feel Like I Cant Engage With Anything?

    The concepts aren't hard for me to grasp, but when given a huge paragraph of text, I become incredibly sluggish and I cant retain any of it. I've found ways to work around it, like extending explanations to infographics or videos ( essentially more engaging visually ) or doing face-to-face...

    sorry if this is an obvious question but is extension something you do alongside an english class or is it a different class on its own? I think i will look into changing my subjects though amen :/

    I’ve emailed my old English teacher to hopefully understand more what I’m lacking... or at least give me back confidence to do my work

    ok i just lost all my motivation for english

    Sorry I should’ve been more clear, I’m in advanced and I feel inferior because I’m not in extension, which I’ve learnt is the higher one. I can develop a passion for anything really, but an important part for me is that I’m succeeding/receiving praise/feeling like I’m acing it. Being in...

    ok i just lost all my motivation for english

    When i was picking subjects with my english teacher last year, she told me extension english was more focused on essay writing and wasnt a higher level than advanced.. Then yesterday, on here i found out that extension is the higher level. I know this is a silly thing to worry about but all of...

    What language are you studying?

    新しい言語を学んで得られるものは、金銭的な利益だけではない。 それを勉強する過程はそれだけで実りあるもので、自分自身や世界についてもっと学び、新しいアイデアに自分自身を導いてくれるので、知性や記憶力を向上させることができる。 より多くの人とコミュニケーションを取り、より多くのメディアを見ることができる。 非常に多くの人々が、あなたの考え方によって英語学習を強いられている。 あ、ちょっと待って。。 これは読めません。。 You’re working off of an english speaking base here. Please consider what...

    english extension vs english advanced?

    What’s the difference? Is one a higher level than the other or do they just cover different material?

    Is my teacher holding me back?

    This is super reassuring because I was concerned about the workload/dedication required. I hope it isn't too late !!

    Is my teacher holding me back?

    Definitely meant 5.3 aha sorry !! I'm concerned as when I bring up this topic with my teacher he becomes very quiet, hesitant and honest. I think he understands that my math is poor because of my underperformance, but I think I'm underperforming because of the material. I'll talk to him again...

    Is my teacher holding me back?

    Last year, the head of mathematics at my school wanted to help me in applying for a selective school by giving me a sample of stage 3 mathematics. Last year was a breakthrough for me in terms of studying; i enjoyed it like i never had before. But stage 3 mathematics? It was like a new path was...
