Computer science..disaster..

Ok
Back in October/September my teacher comes in and says the computer science teacher who is teaching us computer science has left which resulted in my whole class doing ict btec. I do not want to have any btec certificates because i see them only for not so smart people. My question is can i still change my subject? and if not what do i do because we have had many supply teachers which are all bad and my current teacher now is bad nobody is learning anything i feel like i will fail even if i do i wont really care because i did not choose to do ict btec. :smile:

I'm guessing you're in year nine? If not the username needs adjusting lol. I hadn't even made my choices at year nine.

Tbf BTEC ICT is an easy grade if you're into computer science - I slept through all the lessons and still got a distinction :tongue:

You should ask your form tutor or head of year; I picked my options in year 9 and changed one in the second term so it's possible, especially in year 9 as you have an extra year to catch up.

Hmm well you could still try and ask your form tutor or HoY and even if they say you can't nobody will look down on an IT BTEC really, especially if you get a good grade

No fair! Our BTEC ICT was basically how to use Microsoft Office.
