and now youve lost Jurman.

Sydney's back line seriously need to work out some form of training whereby their defenders are told what to do by Reddy (trust exercises but with a football, essentially). Poor or misunderstood directions from Reddy were the cause of so many goals last season; Vitja really has to do something about it.

Please, stop reminding us. ](*,)

Uruguay are champions of South America. Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates were named best and best young player at the tournament. Cadel Evans won the Tour de France. Casey Stoner won the Laguna Seca Grand Prix. Alonso and Webber finished second and third in the German Grand Prix. And I am 2.4k richer.

What a fucking weekend. \:d/

Did you get laid at all this weekend?

Did you?

Nope. My other half is going through a pretty bad time at the moment. But we won't discuss that. I might piss some people off, and her private life isn't up for discussion.

I'm just saying, as that would have probably topped your weekend.

Come now, we all know david's a virgin and saving it for after marriage.

The setting of the School Certificate Examinations is completely pointless. For those who don't what it is, it is a test given to all Year 10 students around NSW. It was originally brought in for the students who would drop out at Year 10, and showed that they had finished a suffcient enough hours of schooling.

They've recently stopped kids dropping out at Year 10, yet this year, we are still going to do this silly, redundant test. It's just plain stupidity, and is starting to bug me. Also, since it is state wide, they need to set the benchmark at the level of every school can achieve a decent result. So my school, one of the top 10 preforming schools in the state, and obviously selective, needs to sit a test that asks what is 4+4.

Purely redundant, and just plain idiotic now. Either get rid of the School Cert. or lower the drop out year so this test doesn't become a waste of time and paper.

been AWOL for the past week... what i miss?

Afro being a princess

He's only been away for a week, not two and a half years...

Who are you? ;)

NSW education system = fucked. The way we did it in Canberra (similar to how Qld do it, I believe) is no test for yr 10 and no major exam in yr 12. Basically, your marks from yrs 11 + 12 are equally weighted, and your highest 3.5 subjects (ie: 3 majors and a minor) are what make up your ATAR (along with how you rank in the ACT).

All education systems in Australia are effed.

In QLD, when i was in school we had to do the QCS in year 12. Worst damn exam ever.

What do kids do there now? I'd like to think the ACT's is fairly balanced.

i honestly dont know. There was talk it was going to be gone, but it does not seem to be the case.

NSW's is shit confusing. In a nut shell, you do your trial, set by the school, then you get a rank for each subject. Now when the actual HSC, a NSW Board of Education state wide test, is sat, and you get a decent result, you will get the highest result from the HSC test if you came first in the trial, second highest if you came second in the trial, and so on.

All Year 12's now know that that the trial is more important than the actual test.

Then there is scaling, that sh*t is confusing...
