Living on deficit
As many of you are genuinely concerned about UAI and HSC, I feel so familiar talking to you guys, and for that this is like my home.
For those who don't care, don't bother reading on.
Lately, I have been heavily criticised on my grade's forum. While I agree that marks don't really mean anything, they DO mean something now. They do mean a passport to uni and to the courses that you want to do.
Sadly, I am really angry with people at my school who simply, or should i say, naively think that marks don't mean ANYTHING AT ALL
Let me quote a post:
----------------------------------
I'm sick of people getting so worked up about results so I'm going to have a little rant about it.
ALL YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS:
A mark is an arbitrary number that someone writes on a piece of paper. It says nothing about how valuable you are as a member of society, it has means nothing in relation to how successful you will be in life. It is not an assesment of your worth as a human being, nor is it a judgement on you. All it is is a stupid number that someone you probably dont know wrote down in response to a whole bunch of more arbitrary characters you marked out on a piece of paper.
How does the number 95% make you any different to the number 23%?? Someone PLEASE tell me because I can't figure this out. ITS A NUMBER FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!
This not meant to be a nice comforting post saying everything will be alright regardless of your mark. This is supposed to tell you to pull your f u c k i n g head out of your arse and stop basing your self worth on grades, because it pisses me off no end. And its stupid and childish. If you can't emotionally handle a bad grade then you aren't fit for whatever high-pressure job you eventually want to get into requiring a 95+ uai.
There are people with real problems in the world. Who the f u c k are you to complain about your priviliged and free higher education not panning out the way you would have liked it to? You have a computer in front of you with access to the internet, and you are completing a comprehensive education. There you go. You've got more than the vase majority of the world does right there.
If you don't get the mark you want you won't starve. You won't die because you have to drink dirty water or can't afford medical care. When you have children they'll have a survival chance greater than in the high 90s, not mid 20s.
Stop your b*tching.

Well, if they don't care, they can rot in hell and DOWN WITH THE HSC!!
Let, those of us, who give a damn survive! and succeed
