This might seem like a useless thing to complain about.. But we recently got back the reports for our last year of work, and I did my absolute best, came 1st on 80% of activities, and got really good marks, so I was hoping I’d see my name on the chart, but I wasn’t. To be fair, I didn’t fully...

Thankyou both so much!! this is really invaluable advice and it means alot that i have a space to ask these questions and get support. ill definetly seek long term solutions with my teachers/school asap

when i was younger i got tested for a different label on the spectrum, but they decided to give up because they didnt want to label me so young, and thought i was just 'gifted'. i then had a long period of tantrums and school hating, from what we assumed was the content not being engaging...

ive had this issue for awhile but i forgot how oppressive it was over the past year. i will have finished a piece of work, or have a minimal amount of work to do, but my fear of handing it in halts me. im not sure if this is made more difficult by the fact that i have to submit it online, but...

The concepts aren't hard for me to grasp, but when given a huge paragraph of text, I become incredibly sluggish and I cant retain any of it. I've found ways to work around it, like extending explanations to infographics or videos ( essentially more engaging visually ) or doing face-to-face...

sorry if this is an obvious question but is extension something you do alongside an english class or is it a different class on its own? I think i will look into changing my subjects though amen :/

I’ve emailed my old English teacher to hopefully understand more what I’m lacking... or at least give me back confidence to do my work

Sorry I should’ve been more clear, I’m in advanced and I feel inferior because I’m not in extension, which I’ve learnt is the higher one. I can develop a passion for anything really, but an important part for me is that I’m succeeding/receiving praise/feeling like I’m acing it. Being in...

When i was picking subjects with my english teacher last year, she told me extension english was more focused on essay writing and wasnt a higher level than advanced.. Then yesterday, on here i found out that extension is the higher level. I know this is a silly thing to worry about but all of...

What’s the difference? Is one a higher level than the other or do they just cover different material?

This is super reassuring because I was concerned about the workload/dedication required. I hope it isn't too late !!

Definitely meant 5.3 aha sorry !! I'm concerned as when I bring up this topic with my teacher he becomes very quiet, hesitant and honest. I think he understands that my math is poor because of my underperformance, but I think I'm underperforming because of the material. I'll talk to him again...

Thankyou for the advice !! Sorry I did mean 5.3 ><'

Last year, the head of mathematics at my school wanted to help me in applying for a selective school by giving me a sample of stage 3 mathematics. Last year was a breakthrough for me in terms of studying; i enjoyed it like i never had before. But stage 3 mathematics? It was like a new path was...
