For the past two weeks, I've been listening to people at my tutoring place who talk about crap in regards to my school. They know barely anything and they go on talking about rumours.

For e.g. one of them said, "Fort Street co-ed so what? There is only like 10% of students being female"

I was like wtf r u talking about? There is at least 35% of students being female.

second example, "Fort Street is getting worse and worse. From rank 12th down to rank 16th. They are getting shitter and shitter."

My school actually did get more students receiving premiers award. It is just that other schools improved more significantly.

Has that happened to any of yous in regards to your school? It is not only my school that gets talked about. I am really annoyed as these girls know nothing about a school and they go on talking about crap.

EDIT
I dont think anyone gets what I am trying to say in this thread.

ahah if that year performed relatively worse than other schools, it's called getting worse.

but apart from that i completely agree, school bashing is completely lame and should be saved until after the hsc when u can afford to be an idiot..

um as for this i dont think so really. It is like saying Person A first assessment was 80 but in their next assessment they got 85. Person B got 50 in their first assessment and in next assessment they got 75. How does that mean B is getting worse? B is improving by like hell but still got lower than person A.

yes but the higher your marks are the harder it is to improve... especially in subjects like english.... so yes person B is improving but I would say their improvement isn't all that much more than the improvement of person A.

It's hilarious how conceited many of the people at the top sound. "OMG, down 4 ranks to 16th! That school's shit!" I've read that kind of crap so many times on BoS.

it doesn't matter what you actually get but if everyone else got better than you, than you are going to drop ranks...

ps. your analogy was incorrect since there was no improvement relative to the cohort

That's pretty rude when people do that, especially when they say being ranked 16th is shit! Jeeze. Just ignore it. :p

Fort st is the best school in the area.

That being said, there are PLENTY of improvements that should take place.
(It's up to the students to take action).

Now if location was not a factor; I would say there are some other schools tickle my fancy a bit more.

Academically speaking; fort st is fine.

If u feel the need to join james ruse, baulko etc etc merely because they are ranked highly I can only say one thing.
You're a fkn failure if u need to be carried by ur school LOL lserr

Umm... how is that not getting worse? Relative to other schools, it is getting worse - no use denying it. That doesn't mean it's shit, it just means that the school is dropping abit in comparison to everyone else.

Shit analogy. Doesn't work at all - the rankings for a particular year are independent of all others.

My solution to your problems: get over it.

yea i realise that analogy was a failure. About this one probably fail as well but meh

A 80 = 1st
B 75 = 2nd
C 70 = 3rd
D 60 = 4th
E 58 = 5th

2nd time around
A 78 = 1st
C 77 = 2nd
B 76 = 3rd
D 72 = 4th
E 68 = 5th

Isnt A getting worse? And in regards to this i cant be bothered to listen to these people anymore
