how many people are doing history extension in your school? (1 Viewer)

[MMalone]

Out our school, there is four of us. Have afternoon lessons which are a b***tard because I live thirty kilometres away from my school. Will get worse next year though.

SIX.

it's strange and empty to me. I'm used to big classes.

we get morning classes. 715 on friday mornings. bad now, but will be death in winter, mostly cos unless i get a car i gotta walk the 6kms ther, unless i can get one of the guys to drive across town, pick me up, then drive all the way back to the class.
but, oh well

70% dropped out in the first term? How did that happen?

I'm the only one at my school and I'm doing it by distance ed. My teacher has been really helpful through email and my modern and ancient teachers have said they'll give me a helping hand if i need it...i'm guessing i will

You know what... did any of your schools reject people who wanted to do extension???
At my school (Freeman) 7 people wanted to do it, fair enough the teacher would take as many as she could cause she loves the subject. Our stupid careers advisor said no to 5 of us ... so there is 2 people doing the course TWO... i am so mega pissed.
One of my best friends got into the course (as it was based on ranking not on marks or interest which is completly stupid) and he asks me for help with his stuff... so the school can bite me as far as im concerned.

Why's the careers advisor involved in selecting people for courses? (And why can't your school handle more than two people doing it?)

That's a crock of shit. I'm quite sure that the careers advisor has no right to decide who can and cannot participate in any course. The Principal maybe but only if there's a good reason (which doesn't include a low rank in previous, relatively unrelated subjects).

[el gwapo]

that school is shit, really really shit.. they say they know best for the students but they don't know jack shit.. all they care about is getting top marks so therefore they only want the students that GUARANTEE top marks (so they think, just cos the kid did good previously doesn't necessarily mean they'll do well again) to do the subject and not want to try hard and help students that are capable but need a bit more help than the guranteed top mark kids

its a really shit school, pass it on

 

[light bulb]

my school has one! and thats me... which is good cos my teacher and i have a blast.. picking on the stupid historians! but i was a little disappointed to hear that the other people were dropping out... im lucky it still runs... it wouldnt have run at all had i been the only one to show initial interest... yeah the boys in the class didnt want to miss sport! and while i miss sport too... its not going to get me into uni.. so ...

elective?! is that like ur major work?! i got to pick mine but my teacher wont be marking it... my principle will... scary thought... do u think its like a PIP?~

 

[orly?]

Thats Unbelievable......do they not run it due to lack of interest or are the teachers to lazy to get off their asses and teach?

 

[pipolaaa]

no. of ppl in the class = 6
we started off at the beginning of the year with 16 haha

 

[SovietSupremacy]

There's a total of three people in my history extension class. There was going to be a fourth person doing it but she dropped it when she heard that they couldn't fit the class into the regular time table and we would have to do it during sport.

I am this ones classmate.
