That doesn't sound too good Markus, I don't know if it's the same subject but is Technology the same as DT? Cause that's what we used to call it.
If it is then I just used to use those lessons as relaxation periods, and use my concentration energy on the more important subjects in my opinion.

Yeah, Its DT, Its just called that on my timetable so Im starting to use that. Yeah, we didnt really do much it was just that I wss in the same room all day.

Yeah not nice It used to be a huge muck around for me so I have quite fond memories, especially as we had a teacher that got annoyed very quickly, and when he got annoyed people had to try and stop themselves laughing at him cos it was hilarious, happy days!
I quit it at the end of Year 9.

Yeah the school I'm at now has that policy but I did my GCSEs at a different school luckily.

Grr! Our school made us pick a tech, I would've dropped it altogether if I could've!! I went for Graphics... and basically "dealt" with it for 2 years!!

I did systems and control, it was a new subject brought in that year and I'm not even sure the teacher knew what we had to do lol.First year we just reasearched energy and do some electronics for coursework, 2nd year we had to design and make a can crusher, I never got past ordering my materials and only ended up doing the exam and I got a G

We were only forced to obviously pick 'the cores', 1 humanity, 1 language (inless seriously dyslexic) and one other subject of your choice.

But as I liked History and French back then it wasn't really forced on me as I would've chosen those subjects anyway.

Oh yeah, as it was our first day back everyone was gossiping about what AS results everyone got etc... and I was talking to a mate in my old AS French group who's decided to take it onto A2, and he revealed that I actually beat someone!!!!!!!!!!!
The teacher I had was convinced that I would get nothing higher than a D and that I was by far the worst in the class.
I got an E in AS French, but this girl got a U!!!
Sorry to celebrate other peoples misfortune but it kind of smacks this teacher (who I hated to death) in the face saying I was the worst, when infact I wasn't!
I always thought this girl 'flew under the radar' during class and sucked up to the teacher.

yay well done Sol ^_^
With options with us we had to take English Maths RS Sciences French(this was before it was dropped as a one you had to take) and 2 others from 2 sections(I picked ICT and History) and a tech

[Pipergun]

For my GCSE choices. We HAD to choose either French or German, we HAD to choose one Technology. Then we could pick 2 more subjects of our choice, although they couldn't be another technology.

Its a bit of a strange system, really.

We had to have 2 languages for GCSE.
Then we had 3 seperate options apart from that.
But I passed German and French. Lauren the Linguist.
