They don't have a disability - well one or two broke their arm or something, but most of them are in the Special Education class, so if being in special education is a disability then yes, otherwise they have no problems other than low literacy levels.

If they accepted it, it should be ok.

That's the thing. The BOS I think; has not focused enough on these areas in the primary and junior high school years. Then we have a problem when senior school students cannot write or spell simple words properly. Like for example at my school, some guys in Year 12 have to get readers/writers...

But how can forcing them to do a harder level make them better. If they were anything like my school, if you get crap results, they'll just shove more people into the lowest levels so they ripp it. Like the amount of capable student who get shoved into standard at my school is ridiculous.

I think he/she is just not too clear about how they are accelerating - like I thought I was skipping prelims last year as well. I'm pretty sure a school would just force you to skip something, or not teach something everything that is required by the BOS. I think, if he/she is 100% sure they...

Same here. I believe, you should just enjoy Year 10 while it lasts. Start working in Year 11 and it will build up to Year 12. If you full go at it hard in Year 10, I guarantee you will burn out.

Well maybe their school has a way of teaching the prelim and HSC course in the same year. Like when I did the accelerated course last year, I thought I was skipping my prelim as well, however I later realised that those topics we learnt first were Prelim, not HSC. I'd say, if the school...

Exactly. The whole School Certificate is bullshit in my opinion. Isn't this year group the last to sit the SC, or is it another rumour like last year?

Most teachers tell us to leech resources. But they just look at me in a funny way, when I tell them I actually post.

As much as I hate saying this... I think English should be compulsory - especially in Years 7-10. People need to have the basis to be able to communicate and express themselves, and English allows us to develop skills which we need to do this. Even if you think we don't need it, just like having...

Well yeah, we did learn Year 11 topics, we crammed them in the first half of Term 1. But officially I haven't completed the preliminary course for Ext 1 (only for 2 unit because I accelerated last year).

Basically this is my theory on schooling in NSW: You fail your school certificate... just indicates you'll have to work harder next year. (However, I don't know how anyone can fail the SC, I did no study at all, and I managed to get all Band 5s and 6s - and I don't see myself as that smart)...

I skipped my prelims, we just cramm the whole two year course in one year.

I think they would really only care about the Year 10 report, because a lot of people improve and their current level/standing would be more important.

I don't think it would be ... but most people probably can't be bothered dropping.

Yeah, but it depends on how much of it you actually use for study. For example you could sacrifice the time you sleep... sleep less - more time to do stuff. But in saying that ... I'm not going to sacrifice my sleep.

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides? Well yeah true. For me, colour suits me the best, and so do books which go into depth and fully cover the syllabus.

Re: Folders or Books? That sounds pretty good. I'm probably going to try and slowly change frome exercise books to folders, because most of my exercise books are running out.

7th is good... 108 is... not soo good, but you should be able to improve if you work a bit harder.

Quit. I did! See the light... and quit extension english.. Iunno, ever since I quit, I felt the urge to get others to follow..
