I like it - it's not that hard and is challenging and interesting enough to make me want to do well at it.

differ b/w 'no' and 'can't stand it' ?
No, as in don't like it, but can stand it.


As for me, I can't stand english. It doesn't examine english. It examines crap.

english is full of shit - you can write utter rubbish and teachers intepret you as brilliant.

Relatively straight-forward and can be interesting-although a few parts of the English advanced syllabus encourage reverse-racism and ad hominem.

I'm sick of all this literature and analysing texts shit. No wonder there are so many students who know bugger all grammar and spelling... and get a nasty shock when they try and learn another language but don't know what adverbs/pronouns/semantics are.

Oh, I agree. It certainly isn't the English that used to be taught in schools; that was proper English. However, for what it is - and I don't think we'll be getting the real thing back any time soon - it is good enough.

Not really. But I've heard issues work can be good in year 11 and 12.
