| 208779 | 2004-01-27 09:56:00 | Oh you mean speeches? Thanks for the explanation about what it was for . Yes, your spelling does suck. It's atrocious. (Is that why there are spell-checkers on these PCs?) It gives us olds an excuse to groan & grumble about "education today," because we had to spell stuff properly or we'd never pass in English. Our olds of course moaned & grumbled about other stuff to show education was going to the dogs....& we'd grow up an ignorant bunch. I think it was mainly our lack of knowledge on history they complained about. I wonder what you'll be complaining about in terms of your kids " lack of proper education" in 2025? (And no I won't go back & fix the other spelling mistakes. Otherwise I'd have to do it with the rest of the posts on this thread. And I don't have enough spare time for that........We oldies will just have to cringe & live with it) |

As for spelling I think that you have good spelling compared to some of my friends. And text messaging is not help with us not using vowels. | Brad H (738) | ||
| 208781 | 2004-01-28 04:22:00 | The 'Grade Point Average' (GPA) is in no way an accurate percentage measurement. You get given 100 for an Excellence, 75 for a Merit, 50 for an Achieved, and 0 for a Not Achieved. They add all those up for your subject and divide it by the number of standards you sat. It isn't even a real percentage. |

O.... ok. oweel, 96 still looks good :p Why is it on there? i mean, if its for employers to comapre peoples results and pick the best one, then Skool C should have stayed. And also - wots better then? 3 Ex's 3 NA's or 6 A's each will give a GPA of 50... |

| 208783 | 2004-01-28 07:19:00 | I give no guarantee that's what the GPA actually is though ;) I read that somewhere (last year), it might've been on a cover letter with my results or something; or else a teacher explaining it. But they might have changed it, but I reckon it'd still be the same. But like I said earlier in this thread, if I were an employer, I would look at the individual standards sat, not the GPA or anything else. |

| 208784 | 2004-01-28 07:54:00 | it is worked out like you said - i just done my own calculations with my results. | fergie (424) | ||
| 208785 | 2004-01-29 05:14:00 | The insane thing about level 3 this year is in calculus i am attempting 66 credits 24 being achievemet standards and the rest being unit standards i can add 20 credits from last year and therefore have 80 credits which means i don't have to do anymore subjects | Brad H (738) | ||
| 208786 | 2004-01-29 06:08:00 | don't question NCEA, as i learnt harshly, speaking out against the system will land you in a lot of trouble... just nod your head and say that its a great system and everyone benefits - David |
