My homework is to write reasons why it is bad to base who gets health care depending on how severe an illness is.

Thing is, I think it's a good thing so can anybody help me with a few ideas? :|

Sorry to butt in
But you could argue is it better to spend a lot of limited resources on improving someones quality of life a little bit when they have a terminal illness so are going to die anyway or spend those resources on someone who is really ill but will ultimately get better and it would increase thier quality of life a lot?

I'm beginning to realise just how much work I'm going to have to continually put into my subjects, and why people grimace when I tell them I'm studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. All I've done since starting college is eat, sleep, study and study; and I'm still falling behind. :confused:

I know exactly what you mean - I'm putting the same amount of effort as I put in over GCSE study leave, but this is going to be all year round! I dread to think what study leave is going to be like this year...

Hey everyone, including the old crew who know me as that lonely candle :wink:

Update because of so much worrrrrrrrrrk: Chemistry: One good teacher. One bad teacher. Good teacher teaches me stuff that is based from what I already know from GCSE. Bad teacher teaches stuff that it completely new. IF ANYONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY CHROMIUM AND COPPER DO NOT FIT THE TABLE OF ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION I WILL BE GRATEFUL. ahem. Biology: Got to see a sheep's lungs blow up like balloons to day :ahee:

Going alright. Maths: Probably the best so far :s-smilie:

English Lit: They said to us if you get an A* at GCSE expect C/D for now.....we did an A-level exam question...got an A at GCSE so wasn't expecting much, I got A/B! So happy! Hope everything's going alright for you guys, Dreamer x :work:

Yeah it's been alright; the legend of hard work at A-level that had GCSE students quivering in their pyjamas never actually hit home until I actually started receiving the immense amount of work. -_-

Computer Science... you mean Computing? :confused:

Please tell me you mean Computing, and you're not programming already.

It's been a while man, how are you handling sixth-form? Did you enjoy your summer holidays?

So, yeah, I had to have a phone interview in the middle of a math lesson today - uber awkward asking the teacher and class to hush down. Nevertheless, I still got invited for a face-to-face interview, which is next week.

In other news, the Queen is coming to my old international school to name their theatre after herself. Anybody think I could sneak in to see it?

Copper and Chromium are different due to the stability of having a full or half-full d orbital
Or something like that :tongue:

(I read that in my revision book I think)

So far I'm enjoying Maths the most, core is boring as, mechanics is better... Lots of homework so far that I don't mind because it's challenging and is better than milling around in frees. Physics is still really damn boring, not much work to do though so that's good. Chemistry is okay still, not much work either yet!

it's better for copper and chromium to take an electron out of the 4S orbital and put it in the 3D orbital for better stability as it is more stable to have a half full or full outer orbital than an inner one :wink:
