did u do it on purpous, did u?! :hyper: oh, wow.
My ideal school would have been one in which you could choose your classmates. There would be more interactive learning.... none of this copying out of textbooks. The uniform would have been far less crap (no blazers but still a uniform 'cos I wouldn't want to have to pick what to wear every morning!) and there would be more fun lessons.... no formal PE lessons, just a group of friends playing rounders or netball. We would have done more food technology lessons ('cos I like my food, hehe!) and pervy old male teachers with beards would have been banished!
I actually quite liked school though.
oh yeh 'cause you did it on purpose.
No but half my replys im not typing as I'm sharing a pc atm...:p
Nice school
Im jealous. I wish i could share my pc with someone ;(
oh what and you've been sharing a PC since july 2003 have you.
Good point.
I admit I have bad langague but it's normally only on the pc as when I'm typing I touch type and don't normally look at the keyboard as I watch Tv
Every second your on the computer?
Yes but some of your mistakes are clearly through you not having a good grasp of language, not through a typo. I'm not trying to offend here, but you really shouldn't go around telling people you're off to do your piss easy geography exam, you haven't taken it yet.
I already took 1 the other day..:p
and tink.. no.. I was pissing about.. :rolleyes:
but, your foundation, not higher, so technically your not as "clever" as your making out to be, and its not as "easy" as you thought it was.
sorry. I forgot to laugh.
:mad:
There's nothing wrong with having taken a foundation paper, it's your attitude that's pissing me off.
I thought you had a geography exam to do anyway.
Teachers dont just take you out of tiers because you couldnt be "assed"
snap.
Just as you said that.. it's at 01.30 and Im off to eat before the Exams..
And sorry if i find courses easy.. god maybe if you wasn't so highly strung about my problems with grammar then I wouldn't have such a cocky attitude.
I've said I'm not meaning to offend, so don't take offence. I just find this whole thing hard to grasp.
Good luck in your exam. :thumb:
and they say standards aren't dropping
they're assessing your grasp of english. and they're trying to stretch you. at least they should be. i would have thought it would be very hard to show the range of your abilities with a question like that.
as for my perfect school... all the teachers would have to be those who always end up talking about something thats got nothing to do with what they're trying to teach. and rugby would have to be banished and replaced with football.
Foundation or Higher?
don't they do intermediate?
Ahh, i did the same thing - wrote a couple of pages for 1A and then realised i was running out of time, and ended up having very little time for the last question.
And James - AQA give us decent questions about literary devices, have us examine texts and comment for pages on why the language used shaped the reader's conclusion etc. OCR is obviously a wank examining board, a question about what your ideal school would be? I'm sure i remember doing something about that in year 6, seriously...
Only for maths. And thats pointless anyway, because that just means that the highest grade you can get on the foundation paper is a D, which is basically useless.
If you just wrote 'my ideal school would have nice fun teachers and a big swimming pool and we would never get homework' and so on then you'd get hardly any marks, because you aren't using descriptive skills, and I think that's the trap that a lot of people fall into with that kind of question, and why they come across as a lot easier than they actually are - to get the highest marks you'd need to show good structure and planning, good use of literary devices like alliteration and metaphors etc, as well as showing that you have good control and style in your writing.
There's not a huge amount of scope to do that on the surface, but say you were writing about a Hogwarts type school, there'd be plenty of room to show off your descriptive skills.
That's my bit of input, anyway.
Yeah.... I remember that one... my english teacher read out what someone wrote for that.... must've been really fucking boring for the examiners to have to read hundreds of those!
