    Are teachers allowed to force students to drop out of acceleration?

    I suppose that's true, though I think some people in my class would want to stay no matter how badly they did, because of parents and such. xD Only reason I'm asking is that my teacher puts a lot of pressure on my class to do well and she said that she has talked to previous students who ended...

    Are teachers allowed to force students to drop out of acceleration?

    I've been accelerated since Year 8, but this is nothing to do with me. Like I said, I was just wondering - e.g. if someone gets bad marks, can a teacher force them to drop out?

    Impact of DET laptops

    Hmm, this is interesting... I think there are some benefits to the laptops, like the software - having the CS5 suite, for example, is quite useful. It's also quite convenient for me because before Year 9, I didn't have my own laptop, so I could access, like you said, stuff on the Internet more...

    42 hours

    iirc, my teacher told me that (for Maths at least) you could technically start the HSC course at any time, you just have to finish the entire preliminary course first? Anyway, good luck to all of you!

    Do you make notes for Maths?

    That does sound useful for revision, that was also why I made notes before. Did you find it time-consuming to make the notes though?

    Do you make notes for Maths?

    Oh, I see. Well, that's definitely not what I meant, sorry about the confusion - I haven't heard that definition before.

    Do you make notes for Maths?

    ....when I said 'rote-learn' I was thinking only about formulas and things like pythagorean identities in trig (not talking about the proof, just the rule itself), etc. that you HAVE to memorise? Not really sure what you mean by rote learning in Maths aside from that? Of course I know that Maths...

    Do you make notes for Maths?

    I'm curious, how many of you here make or made notes for maths? I used to but then it became rather time-consuming and I just used the textbook notes instead. It became a bit of a hassle when studying for the last exam, though, when I didn't have a place of comprehensive notes to turn to and had...
