Re: Pressure From Parents Yeah, this is how i see things. Yes, I really want to maximise my marks, but in teh end, i know deep down I'll survive if I fall short.

Yep, agreed. This is more the thing I meant, but mentioning video clips was probably misleading.

And yours.

I see your point.

Re: Pressure From Parents Exactly. The HSC is inevitably a big part of this yr, but not the sole focus.

Re: Pressure From Parents I think your/our parents approach is healthier though, Like, for so many of my friends, its just such a narrow-minded focus: Study---> get into medicine, law or something prestigious---> more study--> honours---job. To me, its just like their sole focus is...

Re: Pressure From Parents There are positive aspects of school life, its just that they're so frequently overshadowed by the stressful or negative aspects.

Don't you think it could be sort of interpreted as a form of 'female empowerment'? It is like a woman is indicating that she is in control of her sexuality and will do what she likes.

Was it because you didn't study properly/had a bad day or because you're not understanding the content?

Re: Pressure From Parents Yeah, my parents don't really push me either. Its basically 'it's up to you to study and if you don;t you fail at life and we don't care.' So many of my friends, (many of which are asian), are always talking about how strict and stuff their parents are, and I can't...

No but, I don't know if other people interpret it this way, but the promiscuity promoted in music video clips and TV series (e.g Sex and the City) is very much a new form of feminism. It's like another way of assuming a role (i.e, a role of gratuitous sexual expression) that males traditionally...

83.40 If, hypothetically speaking, you got the scaled marks mentioned in the 2005 HSC (based on SAM). NOTE: DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A PROPHECY. IT IS BASED ON A MODELLER AND SCALED MARKS WHICH DO NOT EXIST.

I agree with this. I can't understand you people can have the time or energy to wear makeup/ have fancy hair do's etc. The other issue here is: Is what the teachers have done really unreasonable? I mean, they are the authorities of the school, thereby determining and enforcing any rule...

Based on how well the subject cohort performed in teh external HSC exam.

Wasn't there a thread identical to this? Anyway. You can't really tell, but I agree looking at you all the time could be considered a good sign. For me, a major one is finding excuses to talk to you (lame excuses:o ) E.g me to guys i've liked: Whats the time? (when there's a...

I don't agree with this guy. I acknowledge scaling is a reality that will invarably influence the UAI, but I don't think you should be selecting subjects based on scaling as suggested. Contrary to what was implied, it is possible to achieve 100.00 with humanities, and WITHOUT the ''high scaling...

Thats invalid and wrong.

This is true. I've given up reseraching it/ trying to understand how it will affect me, but I;ve realised the bottom line[s] is/are: *Scaling exists. its an inevitable truth. You don;t know how exactly it will affect you because it changes every year. *The only reason why there are...

True that not all schools will necessarily do what should, but can't the BOS enforce anything? The BOS says that "proven malpractice will result in a 0 mark for that assessment."
