Now, that converts to like a 92 on vce (if it was my final year)
BUT because I smoke (B&H, NOT weed), I have eyebrow and tongue piercings, and I missed a couple of classes and a couple of assignments (not course required work mind you, I did all the IB required stuff, just didn't do certain bit of teacher assigned homework/essays whatever) the SCHOOL decided for ME that I was unable to do all year 12 subjects this year, they said I didn't do well enough in english cos I didn't do 2 essays (out of like 16 during the year or whatever) I had to do half yr 11 half yr 12 this year.
I was in the top 30% for yr 11 english, tell me how the fuck that made me unfit for yr 12 english argggh!!!  
SOOOOOoooooo
this year I've been doing
The main difference is there's a lot of OUT of class work which isn't dependent on your score, but the teachers believe it's neccessary.
And I'm not inclined to a lot of out of school work, study Fine, essays No.
Basically the school's gone agro at me again cos of uniform (piercing) and missing some classes (the IB doesn't have an attendance requirement like vce/hsc) ...And I can't handle all the Assemblies, House Meetings (homeroom, roll call, whatever you school calls/called it), Uniform, No Smoking, Not being allowed to leave at lunch, too many things.
And I don't think I could handle ANOTHER year at Carey sooo
I'm Moving To Swinburne To Do Year 12 VCE  (IB yr.11 can be converted to Units 1&2)
OMFG!!!
I need your input on this if possible ..
I'm gonna do Units 3&4 (YR.12 for hsc ppl)
English Literature
Psychology
Biology
French
Basically the difference is a school where I can drive there (I'll have my P's), I'll have no more than 4 hrs a day (they have 2 hour classes), I'll be able to smoke, I'll be able to get a coffee/lunch at glenferrie when I don't have classes, I'll be able to wear casual clothes, I get every wednesday off....Basically I won't be stressed out of my head getting chased down by employed teachers who's only job is to hound students..in other words LESS STRESSED
Do you think it's a good idea, I've almost decided to change, but either way there's No way I could do another year at Carey, and If I do go to swinburne I'm definately going to work, I AM NOT A DERO!!!!
Also I'm going to try and work at the same time to get some money, either casual work or be a "gay party" dj , it's only money guys...
Need feedback, should I switch to swinburne...
Sorry about the rant and rave, I'm not bitter, it's just that I should be finished this year
And the shame is that if I applied myself I could get over 90 very easily, but I just Can Not handle my school anymore (Swinburne is more like a uni environment)..
Sorry about the length, you're probably all 
I just feel strongly about this stuff...
And I do know it's not the most important thing in the world, I'd prefer to just leave school now and work...BUT society says I need a piece of paper for uni, which I then will never use for the rest of my life Go Figure
Please give me feedback, PM me even if u want... |
Don't worry you sound like a smart kid and its natural to be bitter. School ain't fair but neither is life. I went to Brighton Grammar and wasn't liked by admin either. If I was you I'd change to another private school and just plug some of those clear plastic thingies into my piercings. If you really can't stay and want to change schools, change to another private school. State schools are ok if you wanna get your VCE and be a tradesman, but in most of them the teaching is shithouse. I'm in the law faculty at Melb Uni and apart from country students (who get concessions) you could probably count the state school graduates on your fingers. A change might be a good idea for you (especially if the teachers don't like you - cos they're the ones that give you the marks). At BGS I was lucky not to get any of the teachers that I didn't get along with in year 12. It is important that your teachers like you (although ideally it shouldn't be that way). I can say pretty confidently that my y12 teachers would have tried to give me every mark they could when they were marking my stuff, and I'm sure ppl that didn't get along with them would have suffered mark-wise (there must be some subconscious effects when your marking the paper of someone you see as a little iece of shit who does nothing but annoy you).
But the main point is: Just chill and take it easy, loosen your principles a bit and compromise for a year. If they want you to tuck your shirt in and pull out your earings so be it, play their game and don't let it get to you. It may seem like a big deal now but in a years time you really won't give a shit - you'll realise how petty your concerns were. Uni life rocks (and from the sound of your IB curriculum it sounds like you'll find the workload easy). COncentrate all your energy into your studes.. good luck.

But science isn't exactly something that appeals to me... all the subjects I've chosen are ones that I enjoy and get good marks in. I don't think I could stand doing a subject I hate. Although, I sort of want to do Drama now...arrgg, too many decisions.
even better!
