Teacher quality vs Studying

[Tashi]

MOD SPLIT: THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN SPLIT FROM 'SCHOOL RANKINGS' (yeh, I split the split topic)


Does it really matter... MHS and MacRob are both unfair comparison anyway considering they take the top students in the state and give them some of the best teachers available. Eh, as long as you are happy with your score...

best teachers? From what I've heard they're all over the place bar a few.

The whole 'best teacher' thing is actually not true for MacRob. For each subject, there's only (at most) 2 good teachers out of around 10. The majority are honestly useless.  I think the reason we do so well is because the students actually want to do well, and in an environment as competitive as that of MacRob, it's not hard to find the motivation to put in the effort to learn things and excel on your own. Many students who are unfortunate enough to have one of the 'useless' teachers work themselves to the point where they are able to gain scores higher than that of those who had a good teacher.

melbourne high has pretty bad teachers too, though some faculties are better than others, but atm chem and physics are pretty deplorable

Apparently one of Melbourne high's physic teacher is leaving to come and work at our school.

GWSC has the best physics teacher in the world hands down..

I mean what other physics teacher is epically ripped and makes his own protein shakes

yeah, no. Our physics department may be not so flash, but our chem department is actually decent
I think a reason that MHS didn't do so well is because a lot of kids gave up on their subjects - me included

[funkyducky]

"giving up" on your subjects translates to 99.90? Dammit, I should've tried that.

So, if MHS teachers are crappy then teachers at other schools are...?

Guys please, please, quit saying "oh no, we have done so badly this year" when your school obviously hasn't compared to the hundreds of other ones in Victoria.

You guys/girls don't realise how good you've got it.

Also I don't think any school has got a good physics department since, if you are good at physics you don't (well very VERY rarely) go into teaching.

Haha they're actually not exaggerating, the quality of the teachers at MHS are pretty standard, like you'd expect at any other school. Some teachers are good and some are bad. The main reason MHS does well is because the students are surrounded by motivated and hard working people.

+1 this though.

My school's physics department is awesome pretty much all of our teachers are absolute guns, with the exception of mine (although he's not TERRIBLE)!

The Maths and English departments are probably the best in the school, but yeah I agree, in the end the students learn more off each other than their teachers.

[Tobias Funke]

Every school has shit teachers, but you can't put any blame on that.
If you want to attribute it to something, compare MHS and MacRobs Humanities - Legal Studies for example, they just wiped the floor, and our Legal Studies teachers aren't even bad.

How many ANers actually learned the course from their teachers? The only subjects I actually 'used' the teacher for were english and chemistry...
