    English syllabuses, new and old - what're your thoughts?

    My most positive thing I got out of the English Syllabus was the amount of sleep I caught up on in class. I'm serious! Our teacher was one of those ones that drone on and on, and because she spent way too long on any given topic, 90% of my class was asleep at any given time. Had she been...

    Or I'll just go and cut sick as a vigilante for all the emotional stress they've caused me, and start a massacre. If it actually happens though, don't blame me. Mr Chicken, how true. We should be developing our communicative skills, and how to get on in the world, not some arty-farty shit...

    And my teacher told me that only 11 people in the state scored above 90, after scaling. Ridiculous.

    0_o Pity we never got taught that. Damn, time to file for misadventure. As it is, I had quite a lot to say to the examiners on the other questions we were never taught so who knows? I might get a big misadventure package because I whinged. Meh.

    anything other than performance??

    I did "Design: Poster and Promotion" or whatever it was. Oh my god, I'm so glad it's over, I hated it, and I really don't care what I get out of 30 for it right now, 20 or over would be nice, but meh. Not many people do promotion though, seems drawing is beyond most people... Maybe I should have...

    Can anyone help me with 'Can't Pay, Won't Pay'?

    Non si paga, Non si paga. :) Excellent. There's actually a fair bit to talk about, the economical situation of Italy at the time led him to write farcical drama on the topics, and the policeman is always doing stupid things, and is gullible, much like the police in Accidental Death. Fo's...

    Yay...

    As everyone's said, the exam was a load of shit. Every teacher around here I've talked to that teaches Engineering has said that they couldn't believe it, it's all very good an exam for an engineer, but a student? Pah. We studied planes too, not helicopters, so I made most of that section...

    English syllabuses, new and old - what're your thoughts?

    SgtSlick has hit upon the crux of the matter. The BOS gives us set material, and forces us to study it, and respond in our answers positively to what we are asked, becasue as we all know, thinking differently is a bad thing, right? Wrong. I did Standard English because I've struggled...
