    Media Article: School Leaving Age 18

    It's beautiful, it's poetic, it comes from a book which I clearly sourced and hey - I even scanned the pages and highlighted! Tell me I'm not going to any efforts to make myself clear. Firstly, you are assuming that they want to work on the railroad tracks for the rest of their lives without...

    I already answered you. Workers are not given the time to expand on their knowledge. You're twisting my words and taking them out of context. Ah, sweet revenge.

    Sacrifices

    If there exists such a thread, please direct me to it and I shall take this one down :) I feel compelled to give up some things because of my poor time management/organisational skills and almost professional procrastination. How do you guys manage to balance everything so well? It baffles...

    Re: Pressure From Parents Babe, the mind and soul needs help just as much as the body.

    Procrastination, hmm...

    So, I'm at home lol. I stayed up all night. I got prob an hour or an hour and half of sleep (5:00am to to like 6:00-6:30). Bread increasingly started to taste like cake over time. Note to self: use water instead of soymilk next time. I got these summaries from bos and one of them was by this...

    Unless they are receiving pocket money if they don't have a part-time job and saving up for ages, then they don't have the funds to purchase a car no matter how cheap it is. You can get cars for $50 ffs. But you haven't considered the SOURCE of said funds.

    The alternative to university is TAFE/private colleges. If their apprenticeship fell through, I seriously don't know why they can't do another course or something. Same applies to uni. Cadetships can fall through. Big fucking deal. You take risks, learn from mistakes, and start over. [/COLOR]...

    Feminism and Political Correctness

    For a chauvinist you sure seem to understand it inside out. Yet you don't agree, do you?

    Feminism and Political Correctness

    If my English was half as good as yours and I could articulate my argument properly, I wouldn't get so many "what's" and "dumbs".

    Rudd v Binge Drinking

    lol did everyone miss this post? Bloody brilliant. I think on the schoolies website it says it brings in 60mil every year! That's right, always blame the poor communists in the corner being all equal and sharing their beers. Got nothing to do with us, this. +1 (this is almost as stupid as...

    Feed Me

    You idiot, it was MINT, not basil. Where did basil come from? That was the oven's ching. I shall check on my wholemeal bread.

    Rudd v Binge Drinking

    Re: Apparently raising the drinking age to 21 is on the cards Post of the century, quite possibly. Molotov cocktails?

    Procrastination, hmm...

    If I take another day off, my parents will kill me. I've had Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon - yep, they're gonna kill me. Didn't go to school any of those days (I don't have classes scheduled on Wed and Tues was the cross-country -halfday- so I just didn't go to any classes). 8:30am...

    Re: Pressure From Parents Fuck me dead. The incentives over here are "a good paying job" lol!

    Where are they going to get the money for the car? Unless their parents are loaded, students can't afford to purchase a car and their parents take theirs to work. So what do you suggest they drive? I'm not even going to respond to that year 12 comment. There are so many options out there. You...

    Media Article: School Leaving Age 18

    Life skills such as singing the national anthem every week if not everyday to make sure they don't forget it, answer roll calls, put your hand up to speak, etc. Seriously, the only things I see that would be of benefit are organisational skills and time management. But you have to remember that...

    HSC and Family Pressure/Expectations

    Re: Pressure From Parents My parents kill me about the stupid HSC. They want me to get 35982374892355 when all I need is 68.4....Bloody hell. Especially when I have assessments coming up, my mother is the biggest bitch ever. Urgh.

    Media Article: School Leaving Age 18

    Some people have been wanting to be a fireman since they were born. The majority of people who drop out get their life sorted out - apprenticeship, etc. What's wrong with getting your licence outside of your schooling? That really doesn't make any sense. I don't think transport to/from work is...

    Because they'll get a head start - it's what they want. Carpenters, hairdressers, etc. They don't want to be at school and do the HSC and crap, they'd rather just get right into it.
