Same. Competitiveness in itself actually ruins school. I actually enjoy my subjects, but i feel the need to get first (and i never do...) ruins the enjoyment of it.cs01001 said:
I just wanna go to uni, do something interesting, and leave it at that.

Yr 11 's alright. It's not that hard. It feels sort of similar to last yr. Workload's about the same. The stuff i'm learning in my subjects aren't too hard to grasp.

I think everyone can't wait until high school is over at this point. My mom keeps on insisting that I stop wishing my high school days away, 'cause they'll be the best years of my life, blahblahblah, and I'm like, "You never even went past Year 10, you have no idea!" I cannot wait until I'm out of there.
I actually have a friend who is planning on changing schools and REPEATING Year 11 next year. It is insanity to me. Why the hell would you want to extend your time by a whole extra year, when you're so close to finishing it for good?

So true, people keep telling me to enjoy the last years of high school, because life won't get any better from Year 12 onwards. I just can't make sense out of it, I mean, how are you supposed to enjoy school when everyone is so aggressive with ranks and marks? When everyone is trying to put you down with harsh comments just so they can feel secure. I agree with what S1MO said -"Competitiveness in itself actually ruins school". Can't wait to move on ...

hm .. i guess school has gotten the better of most of us ..
& plus I guess that friend of yours is repeating due to learning from her mistakes ? .. I've heard of people repeating yr 12 .. and I myself have also considered it .. but I don't know .. it just doesn't seem to be an option - If I fail, I fail. End of story.

My friend finished year 12 with a UAI that he wasn't happy with, so he went back and did the senior years all over again. In the end, he still scored a UAI that was similar to his previous one. ;ssle3pe3bumz said:
Good on ya! I'm enjoying this year more than last, and am definitely stressing less for some reason.
But to everyone else who's feeling the pressure, hang in there!
Just a little more to go.

No, she's not failing. She's doing quite well actually. Remeber that we go to a selective school, so even then our 'bad' marks would probably be a lot better when compared to the rest of the state. No, she just hates our school and the competitiveness, so she's dropping out to attend the local girls' high school. But because not of all the subjects she did this year are offered there, she's just retaking Year 11 with a couple of subject changes.

with the benefit of hindsight high school are some of the best years of your life. at least, they were the best years of my schooling.Jachie said:
eh repeatings one thing, repeating year 11 of all years is just plain useless. if people want to spend an extra year it makes more sense to do the hsc again, one would think.

As do myself and the unexpressed masses, yes, even the hoi polloi.cs01001 said:
Hmm... wow, that's pretty radical.Jachie said:
Selective schools do not mean that an attendee of one is inherently better, in whatever regard one wishes to compare, than one who does not attend a selective school; it's just generally, they are.
Amen; I'd drink to that!Le3sah said:
Well, it wasn't exactly disgusting, just the Australian bit was a mind-numbing experience.
