english sucks but with hindsight i actually value the skills i got a good amount, definetly could be a better approach to teaching it though
mine is that to succeed in the hsc half of the time it felt like just playing the game set by nesa. like ranking highly, going to a decent school, following the exact way they want u to write, knowing how scaling/alignment works etc were pretty much as important (or felt as important) as actually studying. after going to uni for a sem i got reminded what "real" learning is like, you just care about learning the content and doing well in exams, and as long as u know that and get a good score u get a good grade, no scaling, ranks etc that take away from actual learning imo
