Dropping Maths (1 Viewer)

[Cleavage]

The head-teacher of maff at my school is completely incompetent.

How can I overthrow her, and convince her to let me drop the Mathematics component of 4U maths? I'm ranked first in MX2 (clearly I'm not going to drop it), and my Maths/MX1 teacher is in favour of me dropping the maths component.

What are the official guidelines and whatnot? Will she shit it if I call BoS in front of her?

(I go to a public school)

i want to drop, i don't know if there is BoS regulation i can quote to the head teacher to allow me to do so.

 

[hecticated]

i dont understand what you mean by "drop the Mathematics component of 4U maths" ?? like what are you dropping?

 

[panda15]

Do you mean dropping the exams, or dropping all 2U classes as well? You have to go to the classes, but I don't think you're under any obligation to sit the exams.

Basically doing 3U + 4 U maths + 2 unit stuff if what I am interpreting things correctly.
@ OP - I guess try do drop it, seems like a waste of time

Cheers, yeah I have been going to class. It is estimated that we will finish all 2U content in 2 weeks, and my 2U/3U teacher has said she doesn't expect us to turn up to 2U lessons afterwards. But the head teacher wants us 4U students to continue to go to class and sit exams up until and including trials.

Is there something from the BoS that says im under no obligation to sit the exams?

 

[iStudent]

How do you "drop" maths? I thought 2u doesn't count anyways?
Unless you're only worried about doing a few more exams, lol

Perhaps have your teacher intercede with the head?

She tried, got overruled.

Man, your head sounds like a douche. Just walk out of exams as early as possible, or check with your teacher to see if you would fail (I don't think you would) if you didn't turn up at all since it sounds like your teacher doesn't want you sitting the exams either. Since you're not officially enrolled in 2U, I don't think they can fail you, but I'm not sure and I don't want you to fail the HSC because of my bad advice hah.

Hahaha that is solid advice,

My mate and I were spitballing ideas as to what we would do, if we did sit the exams.

We considered writing our own question, drawing a huge 3D penis on an axis, and using 4U volume techniques calculate the volume.

Just drop 2u completely and don't bother with it. I do 4u and I didn't need to attend a single 2u maths class and even sit for their exams at all since the start of this year.

I'd like to drop 2u, but read op.

 

[obliviousninja]

fyi. i went to all my 2u classes. but i stopped doing assessments after the very first one, which was pretty much as a safety net incase we bombed 4u and were going to drop it

 

[anomalousdecay]

Ask your maths teacher to let you be exempt from 2U classes.

If they are for you dropping, then they will definitely be willing to sign a form to let you have the study periods and what not.

And if not, you can tell her that no matter what you are keeping 4U, and that your 2U teacher agrees to go ahead with it.

If not, ask the principal what you can do. Usually the principal would be willing to talk to the teacher and ask why they won't let you drop (if you have a good principal that is).

Hahaa i remember attempting to use cylindrical shells in one of my 2U test for the lolz last year cos i had heaps of spare time.

Yeah i get how you would feel in a 2U class, just try and do some of your own work instead of listening i dunno

 

[seanieg89]

Just go to the classes and do other work in them. You will kill the exams without even taking them seriously so who cares? My school made me do 2U up till trials although it was fairly clear I wasn't going to drop 4U.

 

[unforlornedhope]

If the teachers are that persistent in not letting you drop, then just attend the class but do your own work without listening.
