The word 'shit' is open to interpretation. You just decided to add your own meaning to it.

Here's what I chose:
shit
v. shit also shat, shit·ting, shits

n
1. An ebonic slang to describe an object in a positive way.
eg. Nigga, this is some real dank shit right here. Not like those other shit you get on the street
Yo man, this shit is dope
2. An ebonic slang to describe an object in a negative way.
I'm gon fuck shit up

MHS/MacRob are the prestigious schools of Victoria

Really? I'd list half a dozen of the big private schools before getting to MHS or macrob in terms of prestige

Yes...paying $ 20 000 + a year is obviously [ should be ] going 2b of leet standard . MHS/MacRob you get in on merit through your performance in a "shit" exam as Ciyanx puts it but of course people will have differing opinions. Personally attending MHS I can see that the school has an over-rated reputation where the teachers are of no different standard to any other school. The main difference is the extensive curriculum and co-curricular activities and the driving motivation by your peers.

By extensive curriculum, you mean no free periods?

Eh? I had a free period every day.

Dude, the only thing that makes these schools 'better' are shown below:

*Its competitive, almost everyone tries to beat one another (secretly at least)
*They have $$$$$$$$ and resources.
*The cohort is godly.
*MHS is a castle.
*Girls dig blazers.

Prestige of MHS/MacRob > any other school I reckon.

You get free periods all the time, "extensive" curriculum just means that they finish the course for most subjects relatively early And they have more clubs/interest groups than you can imagine.

Still nothing compared to Mac Rob. I mean, seriously man. 1st period free and I still can't sleep in? On the other hand, some MacRob chicks get essentially the entire day off

^You know as well as I do that half of those clubs exist to wag class

As far as I'm aware, the only benefits they get is because they either only do 4 subjects due to having done 2 in year 11 and hence have more frees, or because they have Wednesday afternoon off because they don't run a sports program. MHS could also get this double off if you wag sports, but it's actually a pretty good opportunity to participate in a ridiculous range of sports including your typical basketball, soccer, futsul, cricket, tennis, badminton, table tennis etc. to stuff like rowing, weight training, sailing and even breakdancing.

I'd contest the claim about the teachers. There were some genuinely good teachers, with about 3 or 4 teachers having doctorates in their respective fields. While this doesn't mean that they're necessarily a great teacher, I'm sure anyone who's had Dr. G would attest to his epicness. Like any school though, there's obviously a few terrible teachers. Good thing though is that since there's so many smart people around, there's usually a few people who could teach you the content instead of your teacher.

And yes, castles are badass.

Shinny man,,
Huysing?
Basu?
Wright?
Hohlweg?
...I didn't take Physics solely based on the fact that the Physics teaching faculity is useless.
Dr G of course is a legend but to be perfectly honest the teaching standard of MHS can easily be matched and its rapidly becoming an 'old' generation as the school is struggling to find new teachers as more and more retire.

lol got2 love Huysing's raging though...

[Cianyx]

Basu is the easiest teacher you can get. You just got2 keep your mouth shut and watch the A's and A+'s roll in

In recent times they've been hiring more and more young students.

The teaching ability some of them have is remarkable, but placing young female teachers into an all boys school is not the best idea I do not think.

Cianyx, who are you ?

[Cianyx]

Take a guess. 1 in a 360 chance. Or I'll tell you in about a months time. I've got a sneaky feeling that Ludo (or Minto) spends a few hours a day googling our school to find out if anyone shit talks it. Don't feel like skipping Speech Night
