hsc.
IS IT WORTH IT?
the hsc is something that they start preparing us for when we start kindi. it is the set of tests that determines our future. in todays society the hsc and a university education are almost essential if you plan to achieve more than minimum wage in your lifetime. thats why we make our selves sick studying for it. thats why we dont sleep and thats why we gain so much weight before the formal!
i prefer the queensland system because there is less of a climax and less pressure on students to perform at the end. sure, it is a test of character and all, but when will we need to know how to write a synthisis?? ever?? that isnt even required if you want to become a wrighter~
i just got off the phone with a friend who spent the afternoon hyperventelating because “all the pressure just finally hit me.” is it worth destroying the sanity of many year 12 students across the state?
no.
