Can teachers "force" drop you in a subject? (1 Viewer)

[Fortify]

So I was wondering if the teachers can just kick you out of the subject for low marks? Would this apply for extension courses?

 

[cxlxoxk]

yes. because low marks = unable to complete the course, so the teacher does whats best for you says you must leave the course.

 

[Aerath]

Yes, they can.

 

[chltmddus112]

for extension classes yes. mainly because ur mark is too much below the average.

 

[lyounamu]

I am not sure. I don't think they can do that.

 

[tau281290]

They can't, you can get a big fat zero for ext courses and they still have to keep you in because you haven't got enough units for the HSC LoL.

 

[lyounamu]

^agreed.

I have a friend who only has 10 units, he cannot drop anything.

 

[Fortify]

That sucks if your doing 11units.

 

[cxlxoxk]

nah u just pick up a 1 unit subject (i dunno if u can)? or go find another 2 unit to get 11 again.

 

[kaz1]

They can strongly advise you but not force you.

A few people at my school have already been kicked down for poor marks without an interview or notification. What are your thoughts on that? I personally think this is unfair.

 

[AimingHigh93]

they can force you down especially if your failing, not meeting the requirements

It depends on what school you go to i think, my bf brother isnt even allowed to move on to year 11 cuz they dont like his assessment marks. Some schools are insane.

if they do

complain to the board they have to keep you unless your not doing the coursework requirements or fail to hand in things

They can prevent you from doing Extension subjects. [If you have other subjects to fall back upon]

 

[Fortify]

So, if it's extension, you're basically screw'd?

No one can force you to drop a subject.

It's cuz ur friend is only doin 10 units.

If u have enough units to drop an extension course, they can force u to drop

A guy in my class is being kicked out of legal studies and thus only has 8 units. He's forced to take up SOR bridging course as a result

If teachers are forcing you to drop a subject, then they are indirectly determining the composition of your subject choice, which is not allowed, as board of studies said student can choose whatever subjects they desire so long it satisfy certain criteria (i.e. 10 units, 2 must be english), and whether or not teachers agree with the subject choice is not one of the criteria. This applies in extension subjects.
