Our school does not allow, for examples, Year 11s to do Year 12 maths. We do however, as I already said ("otherwise the [w]hole school does it"), do higher level assessments if they are across the year level. Therefore no one special person does a higher level, unless everyone else can too. The subjects which no one likes, not many take, or are hard to administer due to lack of staff, are open to many year levels. For example, as in lagbort's Classics class, there are a whole 6 people, made up of year 11 and 12 students. Another example is that no one takes Year 11 IT, they all take Year 12 or 13 even if they are in Year 11 or not. Which is kinda sad when you hear people going on about how young they are and what high levels they are doing, because, as much with NCEA, it simply isn't fair across the board. Another example of this is an assessment our class did - I managed to miss out on an Excellence (I'm getting sick of this) because i used, in my rush, the word "select a sample" instead of "take a sample". Now if you think hard enough you'll understand the difference, but the key point here is that this was labelled as a "misconception", and, as it was an internal assessment, allowed the in-school markers to give me merit, not excellence. Everything else was right. The thing that got me was that another school did not have such criteria in their marking - which proves to me that nothing is fair! Whether NCEA is aimed to prove to youngins that life is not fair at a very early stage or not, I'm moving to another country. I avidly dislike NCEA!	Growly (6)

Then I came back to school and had to do level 3 during the day - which was crap. BUT LUCKILY FOR ALL OF US THERE'S NO NCEA CRAP!	Growly (6)
281130	2004-10-16 08:57:00	I noticed in the early posts to this thread that Jams refered to Soh Cah Toa. This triggered a very frightening flash back to the old school days but I just cant remember what the hell it means/stands for. Someone care to refresh my memory?	miknz (3731)
281131	2004-10-16 09:08:00	Or maybe the reason I cant remember what Soh Cah Toa is is because I was too busy learning to smoke, chatting up girls and driving the old Corolla up and down gravel roads during my 5th and 6th form maths periods. LOL. Suppose there is a mathmatical equation for a 1350kg car power sliding around a back country road, wonder if Soh Cah Toa applies?	miknz (3731)
