Can the school force me to drop to standard? (1 Viewer)

[tynormalbeep]

I've done fairly poor in advanced english this year due to my speech and the school has requested me to do standard english. Are they actually able to force you to do standard english or just strongly recommend? if they can only recommend can anyone link me to the board of studies rules and laws for students freedom on subject choices?

m8, was in the same boat you were in.
they tried to force me to do it, but I ultimately refused.
dw I made the correct choice to do advance and I've been happy where I am

Nah they can't force you. Stay in advanced, as the aligning for standard is harsh. Harder to get a band 5 and 6 in standard, than it is in advanced.

Do not do Standard no matter what anyone else tells you

Standard will save your atar

they cannot force but they can advise you what they 'think' will be suitable to you. I highly suggest you don't drop down to standard, it is one of the worst aligning subjects and will definitely cause you to lose valuable atar points. Only 0.4% of people doing standard get a band 6 whereas as around 15% get a band 6 in english adv. Don't drop to standard, a mediocre 70 in adv is much better than a 80 in standard.

Private schools may be able to force you to drop?* (Not sure)


But public schools can not force you into dropping, so stay in Advanced...

The 80 is better lol. Standard and advanced pretty much have the same scaling with advanced maybe slightly more.
