That just goes to show how important the role of the teacher is, and sometimes, the reasons why we do so poorly in our exams, is because of our teacher's lack of ability to teach. It's so unfair. Then we get blamed for doing so crap and get put down as though we are stupid or something. I hate unorganised teachers. They piss me off!


This is true but if your teacher isn't doing anything to help your studies than maybe you should get a tutor or do some work and research for yourself instead of relying on a crappy teacher:hammer:

I second that.

Well for starters, you could establish physical journeys as embodying the most transcendental elements of the continuous journeying process, as a result of its tangible qualities (ability to effect change in reality). The permanent nexus between the physical transition and metaphysical elevation of human capacities broadly summarises the concept.
lol. You write like me :)

Re: Anyone else hate English as much as me?

I absolutely abhor English.

The worst thing about it though is that we have to do it. You don't see people being forced to do Maths now, do you? The whole concept of English being fundamentally important to our future education is bull. The whole basis of it being called 'English' is that it's supposed to improve our knowledge of the language, i.e. expand our vocabulary and perfect our grammar. If they are going to keep the current syllabus the way it is, then they should rename the subject 'Literature' or something else more appropriate.

Learning about Shakespeare's works and reading books that discuss the meaning of life are not improving our ability to communicate effectively at all.

However, I don't want it to come across as though I hate everyone who does English, 'cause I don't. Just look at it like this; think of the subject you hate the most and then imagine that it's compulsory and counts towards your HSC. Sounds fair, huh?

I'll take that as a compliment :)

Hope you did well in King Lear as well :eek: Remember, nothing will come of nothing (especially if you apply a nihilist 'reading').

My dislike/like of English fluctuates. Sometimes, I dread it, other times, I actually enjoy it.

I hate English with passion. I regard English with total abhorrence & disgust.

On a lighter note, I hate English more than you do.

Re: Anyone else hate English as much as me?

Words cannot describe
how much I hate the subject.
It sure is boring.

That being said, I'm ranked 2nd out of around 200, so I'm not complaining. >_>
