yes, we worked so hard to get her into selective high school and now we have to deal with the board of studies with this background/continuer issue because the principal thinks my sister should do background instead of continuer despite my parents declaration, passport and academic history checks.
I guess it isn't a troll, but just an overachieving parent who wants the same for their child.
aka, Asian
to do a "higher" level of language; one must qualify their background, where they are from etc. would you think i would be approved to study chinese? (you may not know me but i am black)
Nah I mean he keeps saying background vs continuers, but there's a heritage course that's in between the continuers and background.
I read in a previous post of yours that your sister lived in Japan? That would automatically negate her from doing continuers if she was going to school there and was learning the language.
my bad
or maybe he really follows though......
Why don't you want her to do heritage? If she's a smart girl, then you should be pushing her to the best of her abilities and NOT just letting her coast by because she already knows Japanese/Chinese. That doesn't seem very fair.
Well you can't get higher than a 99.95 atar. Just get her to do 4U maths since you said she was good at math, that'd be easy for her, right? If she's smart and tries hard (or is forced to try hard) she can do well regardless of subject choices.
Lol, it's sad that this is true
I would think that the hard part would be thinking of what to speak about the topic, I mean if you're fluent in the language it shouldn't be a problem right?
It's completely her decision though. Please don't rule her life.
