QUOTE(Lindsay @ Mar 14 2005, 07:25 PM)
I like it this year, the teacher's better. The woman I had last year and I just didn't get along.
Plus, I was on the verge of being dumped and I was feeling quite fragile, and she gave me an essay with a 12 out of 25 on it and mocked me in front of everyone. THEN she said, "Oh, I've really upset you now, HAVEN'T I?!" So I just burst out crying.
Most embarrassing moment of my life? Oh, yes. I think so.
Physics was boring. Why can't people just accept that you plug things into the wall and they work?

Well its obvious your teacher last year was evil, she should be sacked. Teachers are paid to act within the code of conduct and not deliberately try to mock pupils. Plus they should always talk in the correct tone of voice. I wish teachers knew that they shouldnt annoy us like that. I mean its just wrong.

Ok it looks like English teachers really are bad. Who thinks the idea of English tutoring by former english students is a good idea?
I know a Uni graduate in English whose looking for some extra money if any of u need a tutor.

I know what you mean, I had a similar problem with a teacher as you do with your philosophy teacher- its really annoying- I would have been able to do better with a better teacher.

I'd recommend Higher and Adv/Higher Economics to anyone who wants to know about what really goes on in the business world and what should really go on in the business world!

I wish I could do something different on 6th like economics but my school is really small and has a very limited curriculum. Plus it's the only school on the island I would have to leave home if I wanted to do something new! But in saying that I would definitely recommend

I did
H Computing- This was fun and I really liked it so Im doing AH next year
H Accounts- Best subject ever take it if you can-tomorrow is the last time I do accounts in school (sob) in the exam its the end of a fabulous era!
H English- The teacher was dreadful but the banter in the class was great and occassionally the teacher joined in (she was really old and once she discussed who she wanted to neck with-Atticus Finch from TO Kill A Mockingbird LOL!)
H Maths-Crazy teacher who daily made a mistake which me and the girl had to correct her about because everyday when she wrote an example she would look at us to make sure it was right lol-but seriously she was great and its also the end of an era since I've had 3 brilliantly funny years in her class
H Physics-Avoid at all costs- I would rather sit and watch paint dry than do this course again-If you thought standard grade was good you are in for a very very boring shock when you do HIgher cos it is the worst subject I have ever done-crappy teacher who had his favourites from fourth year who,laughed at his rubbish little britain impressions- adn one boy who needed to know everything that wasn't in the course and asked really boring questions. There wasn't even any banter in the class at all so IMO this is the worst possible subject ever!

It seems like a lot of people hate english. I do too and I've even got a really good teacher. It's always been my worst subject.
I really like maths, chemistry and physics. I find all the sciences really fascinating (people give me funny looks and call me strange whenever i tell them this!).
I would have enjoyed biology this year too but we didn't have a teacher for most of the year so I found it really boring.

Faves:
Biology - find the subject really really interesting & love my teacher to pieces. i've had her ever since she came to our school 3 years ago & she's just really sweet & funny & helpful, which makes the subject even better than it already is.
Sociology - again, interesting subject, plus our teacher was a right laugh & let us come & go as we pleased. For the last half a year only 3 of us turned up on a regular basis, which was fun.
Hates:
Chemistry - Higher is sooooo much harder & far more boring than Standard Grade. Just can't stand it, except my teacher was pretty nice.
Maths - i don't really mind the subject that much, i just tend to push myself too hard in it + my class was really boring.
English
- Doesn't fall under either category because i love love love the subject [doing it at AH next year] & my teacher is the funniest guy alive, but i got bullied for most of the year in that class & it just made it hell.

It’s not that I literally think I’m a faerie. It’s just that I feel so different from most people. And this idea of a race living underground in caverns, spending all their days dancing and playing the fiddle and eating flowers and reciting poetry and sharing their dreams, that to me sounds much more real than the way people live in this world, hating and fighting and wanting and hurting. - FLB
Imagine that I can't be comforted at all , in pieces I went from crawling into a ball. Evidence, it's in my breathing every day, less and less and less. Can you hear me now, cause I'm not doing fine, I'm drowning in my mind again - LisaMariePresley

Best subject ever invented - Advanced Higher Tech studies, It's such a laugh, my teachers possibly the best one in Scotland , the class are all amazing folks, and the subject is easy toooooo 
What more could you want?
Adv higher Geo is great too, but not as good as techy.
H Chemistrys great, our teacher told me we were the best class he'd had while teaching that course, not just brainywise, but people wise as well
H Physics was good, I'm doing physics at uni next year (hopefully)
H English I liked, mainly cause our teacher was amazing, and told us brilliant stories
