Ok I'm worried mine is going to be a bit bare but I've started doing some physics related reading and should be getting engineering work experience in the summer. I don't really know what I could talk about for 4000 words:tongue:

Enrichment lectures... ._.

Thankfully IB students at my school don't have to go to those :biggrin:

Some of them are quite good, we have Dr in subjects and researchers etc come in to tell us about their careers and how they got there!!

I actually agree it is haha, he was doing an access course and didn't attend college for weeks, he was only there 2 days a week when he did go in as that's all college require. He asked me to do his maths for him as well, as after so many failed attempts there's an equivalent maths gcse qualification where the candidate just has to submit work completed. (Baring in mind he was 25, and I was 17) Shocking, I know!

Private school here too, here's how ours works:

4 Options max.

Any lesson (maths or not): 5 hours a week.

We have 5 lessons a day, one hour for each option and a free. That free is where people can opt to do critical thinking/have their language oral lessons/extra curricular/pshe/dofe

So people generally have 2/3 frees a week.

If you do further maths, you do 10 hours of maths (it counts as 2 options) and you finish Maths A2 in a year. And then you do further maths a2 in second year with your two other A2 Levels.

We start at 9, finish at 3:40

5 hours are lessons

And this explains why TSR is full of rich **** with too much money. Private school kids use TSR to make themselves 'fit in' with the other 93% of the population who's parents are not billionaires.

You should learn your facts before spewing ****. I do not have money, I earned my place and am here on a scholarship.

I could never ever afford private school, so don't go cursing at me or those in general who do.

So why do you use TSR? Because I don't think you're gonna make the change needed to get grades, so don't think being on TSR is gonna do you much good if you're looking to improve your grades because it seems the problem is you.

You were insulting GCSEs when you didn't even do well in those.

Right, I'll stop.

It's actually sometimes quite annoying going to a private school where everyone gets what they want, and I don't.

I'm the same as fish, I earns my place and intend to earn my place at a decent uni in the same manner. I and my parents have worked very hard for everything we have, and I don't think we have a seven figure bank balance anyhow:eek:
