Extension > all though.
Yeah, If I hadn't of dropped it.... but the teacher is an asshole, and I felt like doing Rock Eisteddfod properly, so ah well.

I did all three histories, and out of the two in question, preferred Modern by some distance. However, this was largely because of my Ancient teacher thinking my class was comprised of imbeciles, and thus not able to handle Year 12 level work or readings..Leading to regularly being given Year 7 worksheets, and having this pointed out at the time. Of course, most people in my class accepted this, but it was extremely frustrating for myself.

Ancient History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.. :chainsaw:

^^ that sound like our ancient teacher at the moment! thinking we cant read anything past year seven level! like she will write something down and then be like " no, i will put it in language you can understand, incorrect yes, but that way you can understand" and we are like wtf?!?!?! and she is like well i have to try teach you on your level. maybe if we be good, we can progress to big peoples work sheet!

I do both and i have really good teachers for both
so i suppose that i cant choose

But. Topicwise i like Modern overall as some parts of Ancient are boring.

Otherwise Ancient Rocks

depends on the topic

for modern doing the war in the pacific and 20th C germany are fricken interesting topics wheras in ancient hist Akhenaten bored the crap out of me, on the other hand romes wars of expansion are the most interesting thing i've learnt, but i'll have to say i prefer ancient cause i prefer the ancient world

ive chosen ancient..
schools starting in 2 days and im already having doubts about it. i originally
wanted to do both ancient AND modern but then i thought it would be too
much and i also like my other subjects - math gen, enlgish adv, legal, studies of religion, biology...

ugh what to do?...
