Chris Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I just feel like shit at the moment, today has been really shit as well, only one good thing has happened today... kokane came online for like the first time in 3 days... but everything else is like completely shit... I was off school all last week due to flu and this week is half term, and so obviously since this is our GCSE year we were gonna be given loads of coursework to do, but as I was off school I never got it. To make matters worse, we got loads. But I can't do it, I need sheets that I haven't got, I need to explain stuff I haven't done. What the Fuck? So then I speak to my friend on MSN today since I have shit all else to do and we asked each other how our half term was going, he said he was busy doing coursework all the time, at this point im realising I'm gonna have a shitload of work to catch up on when I go back to school on monday I ask him what coursework I missed and he lists a whole bunch of subjects, and only two of which I can actually do something for. And only one of which will actually be possible to skip. I'm gonna be so busy and stressed out like I am now it's unbelieveable, and as of next week we are meant to start revising for our GCSE exams. The people who run the education department in this country are a load of wankers and tosspots and shitbrains for fucks sake.... i'm sorry, I have nothing to do. I didn't know who to talk to so I just posted it here. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 That sucks. That's why them people raising education standards is a bad thing. Luckily for me, most of my teachers do have a homework calendar so I can go over what we do in class ... but I havn't been sick yet *knock on wood*. If I were in that situation, I would do juts enough to pass until I got caught back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 It also doesn't help when your friends go along with the philosophy of "the sooner you fall behind the longer you have to catch up". I regrettably was the one who first said that, but still. I literally am just gonna do enough to pass, I wanted to do well though, because I'm shit at everything that has nothing to do with I.T. I just wanted to prove I am intelligent in other areas too, but this has severely dented my confidence and my will to live. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Are you normally a lazy person? If not they it really shouldnt be that hard to catch back up. If you catch up but don't do well, it will say that you are intelligent becuase you were able to catch up. Me being lazy and not doing everythign 100%, i'll make it hard on myself later in life. What do you mean by I.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 By I.T I mean Information Technology. Computers and the like, ya know? I'm not always lazy, I know my parents would beg to differ. I guess I lack enthusiasm to do certain things, I require inspiration. I'm kinda lethargic when it comes to doing things I don't particularly want to do. I also hate doing menial tasks. I'm not doing myself any favours having this pessimistic attitude either so I should stop that. I should be able to catch up, I will catch up. I guess this has kinda got me depressed more than anything before. I dont know why. It's not like i'm one of those freaks who try to commit suicide the whole time. I'm glad I have you guys on the forums to talk to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 My parents know i'm lazy. I could get 100% in all of my classes. For a minute it did kinda look like you were heading twards the suicide road. What is I.t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I just read over what I wrote in that first post and I did a good job of portraying the depressed, suicide-esque school kid. I would never consider it though. Never. Oh and I edited that post and answered your question on what I.T stands for, dunno what you rednecks call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I have the same problems, I am at university now an IT carrer, I kind of do well, in math and some other things. but I suck at some classes, but the core classes are finishing and all the IT classes are coming now, so I think I will do better the next semester.

zimoo Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 GCSE's were actually alright at my school, as my teachers spread the coursework over the 2 years so that we didn't have to do it all at once. I'm doing my A-Levels at the moment (first year) and I'm getting my exam results back in early March so I'm quite nervous about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimoo Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I just about got my maths coursework in on time, but then realised that I had left all the "advanced" work at home, which probably cost me a better grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airashii Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Yeah, I'm getting a ton of coursework to do aswell, I hate how they never give it you over the holidays, then spring it on you a couple of days before the deadline, good uck with it anyway.

Spaz The Great Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Spaz I said... i'm considering it ok? You take longer to consider something then I do. What are GSCEs Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 What are GSCEs Who knows? Everybody at the age of 15/16 knows in England, unless your absolutely retarded these are the exams you take to get GCSE qualifications (I dont know what GCSE stands for). Basically the lowest form of qualification required to get some kind of job, they're graded from A* down to G, or U for ungraded. So obviously the better grade you get the more intelligent you are. Usually after getting your GCSE results you go on to either a Sixth Form or College until your 18. Or if not then you'll get an apprenticeship somewhere, failing that you'll get a crappy job somewhere. At Sixth Form you take usually 4 subjects to 'higher' level to improve your education and generally be able to get further in life with your better qualifications. At college you'll do equivalent courses to A Levels and probably do just as good as those at A Level. After that you either go to University or get a job. I can't be arsed with Uni. It's a complete waste of money IMO. Especially when you're gonna work in the field of IT where you have the pleasure of buying a brand new PC knowing full well it's gonna be obsolete withing a week of buying it. Technology advances too fast these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimoo Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I don't know what the G stands for, but the rest is Certificate of Secondary Education Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Ah the G is probably for something like 'General' or maybe 'Gay' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 We do SATS in England but that is when you are 13/14 if I remember correctly. Excpet they aren't anything important, teachers say they are but they aren't they don't count for anything. They are just for schools to measure your progress.

mvi Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 No, they're the things that the goverment uses to work out how good every school is, which then is put into league tables and determines that schools funding. That's why the teachers want you to do good, so they get higher wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
