    Unnecessary Pressure - FORMAL COMPLAINTS - Stop the BOS madness !

    To my recollection, only one person said to get over it whilst several people including myself said to contact the board. That aside, I like to use whatever is most appropropriate for the situation. This is an isolated case and the OP instantly assumed without research that it's standard...

    Teachers/Tutors Pre-writing Students Essays

    Re: Catholic schools unfair advantage Good grief, there must be something wrong with Sydney Water! There's no other reason for the forum madness tonight :P Perhaps it's true some catholic schools give their students pre-written essays. If so, it's likely that some Anglican schools do, and...

    Why are Aboriginals prejudiced against in the english exam?

    This thread reminds me so much of some jewish/german debates/fights I've seen. Should all non-jewish Germans today pay 10% of their income to jewish people or something like that to "bridge the divide" even though it happened 60 years ago? Aboriginals doing the HSC exam today are...

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    yup, tis tomorrow :) All in all, not dancing too bad considering I haven't touched flamenco in about a month (overseas, then injured). It was funny though. The teacher is calling out the names of various steps and I'm like "wha? That sounds new, isn't it a little late to teach us new combos...

    Unnecessary Pressure - FORMAL COMPLAINTS - Stop the BOS madness !

    I agree with brogan- stuff like that is NOT standard. ^ the Board of Studies would be facing lawsuits galore if they actually published that sort of stuff and made it mandatory for supervisors to read out. Get the supervisor in trouble... don't assume it's a state-wide issue unless you know...

    Standard vs Adv

    The massive advantage to Eng Adv is scaling. I can't remember the exact statistics but it's almost impossible to get a Band 6, and still very difficult to get a band 5 (something like that - not actually sure Band 6 is attainable for Std Eng?). Considering that 2 units of english must be...

    America's Next Top Model - Cycle 7

    I kinda think that will happen, and at the same time kinda won't. If Amanda (edgy twin, right?) suddenly wakes up one day and knows all her angles and how to pose, then michelle is in for some hot competition.

    I need some help please!

    Another option is to ask whether you can do Pomo anyway. She might say yes, she might say no. Still worth a shot :)

    YOGA MAT!!! *jealous* I'm dying to get one of those. They make these cute coloured ones in this sports store in Hornsby Westfield... thinking of buying it... 8 hours of sleep is quite good though. :) I reckon 7 hours a weeknight is livable, anything under than that though is overkill :/

    English Extension 2, 2007 - Mediums

    isn't there a difference between video and film? Something to do with quality of equipment used (accessible vs so expensive only private schools can afford it?) I remember one of my ee2 friends explaining something like that to me *racks memory*

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    I just watched a news article that theorises lack of sleep --> obesity (chemical imbalances, lack of sleep decreases "hunger repressing" thingo, and increases "hunger" mindswitch). Boooo ok so I'm going to try and sleep properly again (sleeping patterns screwed up royally this week, eating...

    Anyone want to post up the paper?

    Ooooh! So they're getting a bit more specific this year ("self-reflection" as opposed to "change/growth"). But still pretty generic though, sec 3 should still have been good for a lot of people :) I can see how the creative writing question might have thrown those with pre-prepared...

    America's Next Top Model - Cycle 7

    actually, no! went to the tyra banks show website and there's an article where some of the cycle 6 girls dish the dirt on what they think about the cycle 7 girls. In one of the forum 'teasers' a girl talked about how happy she was that such-and-such was just booted off, so I figure it's pretty...
