I'm over it - all that heartbreak and worry about girls beating boys in the HSC. As a teacher and a mother I know the reason: girls generally work harder than boys.

But don't fret, it's just five minutes of fame. Count all the female prime ministers, High Court judges, CEOs. Soon all those clever, talented, hardworking girls will be back where they belong - washing up.

wtf? lol, and a woman wrote that?! or a man who put a woman's name so he wouldn't have to suffer all the complaints. if it's a woman, she's very bitter about her sons not doing well. and i would say the same amounts of males and females do well

Aren't you still in school? Class of 2004 (see: your sig)

You shouldn't stop analysing literature until you've finished your HSC. Then you can make mistakes and realise how much school actually helped you (with English).

Sometimes it runs really slow and i get a database error or "page cannot be displayed", so you could mistakenly think its been taken offline i guess.

Yeah...but someone along the way must hace figured that the fact that it was down=the site has been forced to close down. Which is pretty presumptuous.
