    Ah that sounds terrible! Had a teacher like that in one of my old schools...not good at all! You're doing it at home? Wow, that's great but I wouldn't be able to do it tbh. You must be one determined girl! :) How is it going for you so far?

    my old maths teacher put it as stubborn i wasn't really fit for honors as im one of those people who can look at some maths stuff and just know the answer but cant write it down so i sat down and did every single sum in the green and blue book last year and got a d2 which im proud of seeing as only 5 people got higher than me in my year. ye got an a1 in chemistry half just hated the teacher and didn't do the work in physics but i like me so should be fine :) did business at home for the crac last year doing it in school this year. i have a tendency to change subjects a lot did geography in 5th and switched to french in 6th

    In all fairness, 5 pages minimum is definitely a bit much

    well if you want more than a d in honors thats what the chief examiner says my teachers on the examination board and talks none stop about how long they all have to be unseen 1.5 poet 5 hamlet 6-7 comparitive 7

    With all due respect, absolute bull. I go to a very small school and my teacher had pass English last year but there were 6 A1s in her honours class of 2010 out of 14. She says 1.5 for unseen, 3.5-4 for poetry and 5.5-6 for comparative.

    ok then if thats what your teacher says then do that i just read your post which asked if 3.75 was long enough and presumed your teacher hadn't given a specification im a repeat got a c2 last year 31 in my class 4 a1s 7 a2s 10 b1s 6 b2s 4 b3s lowest was a c3 if you knew how long it should be then why ask?

    I wanted to see what other people were writing but 5 pages minimum per essay has to be too much!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    3.75 is fine! As long as you have the info down thats what matters. My english teacher has had students get 400/400 marks on their English exam so I think he'd know what hes talking about :P We just write 3 or 4 :)

    I'm lucky this year. I've a really good teacher 'cause my old english teacher's gone to teach geography. (god help those geog students..)
    That's pretty bad though, what else did ye do last year? All 3 texts of your comparative?[/QUOTE]

    Nope, just Casablanca and half of how may miles to babylon.. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like she's going anywhere soon :( I hope she's pregnant :pac:

    (ps I have no idea how to quote!) :L

    I have a day off today too :D

    Not sure why though? I am in a convent school (Siobhnk :D ) but I don't think it's a mercy day thingy. You're not allowed days off for staff meetings anymore as well (croke park agreement or else I've just made that up :p ) Shady shady... our school having an illegal day off? :p Probably not.. but who knows?

    (I'm in the same school as Siobhnk btw :p )

    We went back early though, to accommodate future snow days.

    Pass as of last March. Loving it! :D It's gone from my least fave to my fave and best subject. Teacher sucks though. He's my physics teacher too, so I'm f'ed in that. :rolleyes:
    I agree, by the way. That crap is orange poison!

    Ah, UCC's pretty good to be honest. Saying that though, it's only my second choice. I'd rather for to CIT. :pac: They have a skydiving team! CIT that is. :) And the careers thing it just like, a gathering of the colleges to let us ask them questions and stuff. I think..

    Yeah it's supposed to be class, the only course I'd be interested in there would be midwifery, but it's a tad far away. But not writing it off completely though, gotta keep the options open :)
