Can my brother's teacher force my brother to do Standard Eng?-- help!!! (1 Viewer)

[nailafun]

My brother is in year 10 and is choosing his subjects. By BOS laws, is she allowed to not accept his application cos he wants to do Advanced English? She says he will do better in standard, but he really wants to do Advanced.

They can only advise strongly against him picking advanced English, they cannot restrict him from doing it.

If its a government school can not legally restrict him to doing Advanced or forcing him to do Standard

Our school had something similar. I know our year 10s have been interviewed and one of my friends from that year said the teachers said he can't (from what I can remember) do Advanced English. However I know that for our year, if you do exceptionally well in the first terms of Standard English you can get offered to move to Advanced English.

They cant force you at all, but in all honesty. teachers know whats up, might be wise to go with what they say.

This, they can't force anyone into doing any subjects..

English teachers are the worst out of every faculty, they are not doing it for your benefit, maybe a bit, but they are trying to get the most band 6's, to push up the year as high as they can, they don't think of the individuals, they think of the cohort as one, if you do not seem good enough, they want you out. That doesn't mean you should go out, it just means you are not very good at english, and the opinion of a teacher should not stop you, especially if you are aiming for a high atar. You can get better at English and they assume you can't. Force your way into Advanced English, and prove them wrong.

I wouldn't say English teachers are the worst out of every faculty..depends on the school I guess.. BUT, If you prove yourself and put the effort in, most teachers (regardless of faculty) will be happy to assist with your studies

Honestly, I was quite happy that my school's English faculty looked after the cohort..rather than individuals, as this allowed us to achieve a high number of solid band 5's and Band 6's in Adv English. Also, the students who were told to drop into Standard English, there were about 15 of them, ended up with solid marks in the 80's...rather than getting 60 in Adv. English
