Title: OH THE IRONY!
Post by: Kotza on October 28, 2010, 11:20:27 pm: Isnt it funny that VCAA decides to make the students of 2010 analyse a speech regarding the welfare of the planet and its sustainability in the future, when they used a total of (APPROX) 1,520,000 sheets of paper. That's right, ONE MILLION,, FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND sheets of paper. They obviously opposed the argument.

(~40,000 students had 4 booklets: Around 10 pages for the 3 answer booklets (30 pages) and 8 pages for the question booklet = 38 pages in total.. 38x40,000

i found it funny.

I recommend everyone find the International Year of Biodiversity facebook page and read the comments, its hilarious.
