Spice: Yeah fucken aye. took the words streight from my mouth (: Weisy: I think your absol right. Both in the depth, and the fact that the discussion is too open-ended/time waster *goes to the OTHER desk..*

Weisy: I am defiantely a realistic as sposed to idealistic person. I dont want to create a New generation of young people, i just dont want to see the current awareness fall any lower than it is.. I know that by individually comming here and saying so, it's not going to make a difference, but...

This isnt exactly what i meant. An understanding of the social and eithical issues is important because teaching the issues relating to each course, within that course it's self isthe only way that we can impose a knowlege of social, ethical, and political understanding to the students...

Spice: Im not sure that you understand the consequence of removing social ethical and politial awareness and that type of education from the syllabuses. Perhaps the context of these issues may be better resolved, but the exclusion of them is crazzy. Unless Australia is trying to breed a...

hmm thats bullshit. By seperating each of the subects, different sciences and maths etc, it is nescicary to seperate each subject's social, ethical and politial issues to be passed along with it. Without knowlege and understanding of these issues, The students wouldnt get a grasp of the...

That is the worst and most innacurate statement ive heard for a long time man (except for sourie) Ever sat for an IPT exam for example? Me and Bon sat for it last year accelerated, and the ONLY thing you needed to know was the text book responses. Im not exaggerating, or overstating man thats...

Spice: The creation of a wide range of subjects, and their inclusion into the corriculum was done for the benefits of the students. Not so long ago it was compolsary for students to do mathematics, and it still is in some places. This is not a show of how the BOS is widening our focus, but...

Hmm it's all very true, but like black jack says, the need for 10 units of study limits the candature for any specific course at Uni. Imagine i was real buff at SDD, but then i sucked at all of the other courses. I'd get a moderate/low UAI, be refused into uni, and then havea shit at tafe...

Yeah bon your right! SDD is my fav subject. Why? Because it creates new problems and unfarmiliar situations that must be solved by understanding and using/applying this to create a solution. What we learn in school can only be used and extended on at Uni by those students that have an...

Bon, thats exactly what im talking about. But imagine you have some people ripping up the course and getting a++ marks, remembering that Simpsons rule is h/3 because in the simpsons, there are three children!! Based on the concept of assessment (after all, the HSC is assessing someone's...

I agree Bon. I think youve hit the nail on the head there man.

I dont thik so. imho, the people that do well at my school are brickwits that just memorise the work like some kind of card game. The people that, as you say, know the concepts, like myself and others in my class, are ususally the ones that get bogus marks (lower than what should be expected)...

As Blackjack said, I think that the method of assessment is the onlyway to economically create a rank. It would be unfeasable to carry out individual peer to peer examinations, and besides, any examination as such (oral etc) would be just as easy to memorise, and the results would vary from...

Yes that is right about science! I was meaning that i would expect more of that type of understanding and logic be able to be aplied to maths (particularly extension). Ive heard many smart people say that maths is the most logic of all languages. Shouldnt we be able to exploit this logic, and...

man your fucked! You have to be able to aply things? Conceptually extension maths is not difficult. This is because there is little application of it. When aplied maths is used (physics), people are forced into understanding to be able to do the questions. It's dumbass wanabee's like YOU Sourie...
