Title: What subject do you wish your school offered?
Post by: Predator on June 08, 2011, 11:43:51 am: Thought I would post a thread about what subjects we wish our schools offered or had offered.
By that I mean most schools do not offer every VCE subject and that many people want to do a subject but they are unable to do so due to their school not offering it as an option.

For me if I had the option I would have done:
- Media
- Outdoor Education

What about everyone else?

Post by: ProtonStar on June 08, 2011, 02:04:20 pm: I would love to do Latin. I reckon it would be so incredibly interesting to study :)
Also, if I were good, the 17+ scaling would make me a super happy person!

Post by: chrisjb on June 08, 2011, 04:59:51 pm: National Politics is the only one that springs to mind, but I'm quite happy with the subjects my school offers. I've enjoyed everything I've studied.

Post by: Ghost! on June 08, 2011, 06:20:33 pm: Latin definitely! Would've loved to have a go at it. Also agreeing with Lex, Sociology seems so interesting - I wish it was available.

I wished my school offered Classical Societies
Title: Re: What subject do you wish your school offered?
Post by: Charmz on June 08, 2011, 06:29:43 pm: Latin actually seems really popular. I think schools should actually have it and maybe a lot of people would do it.

My school has 2 nearly full classes for interstud.
They all love it. :)

Latin. And not for the scaling.
Well, if all the schools started offering Latin and everyone took it, then it wouldn't scale as much because the cohort would be larger and less concentrated among the private schools likely to do well.

So yeah, I definitely wouldn't do Latin for the scaling.

Foundation maths :)
Foundation math is only offered at units 1&2 - there is no 3&4 equivalent. My school has it .. there are 2 full classes doing it.. says a lot about our academic atmosphere =\

I would've liked to learn German/Spanish

Economics (offered at another school, but too tedious to get there)
Environmental Science

International Studies
Not enough people in the year below me chose to do international politics this year and they don't have a class :( I was so disappoint in the year 11s, it is easily the most interesting course I have studied. You can get so lost in the material and end up learning such amazing stuff.

I don't want to do it for scaling though. I'm going to learn the language one day anyway.

Post by: MJRomeo81 on June 09, 2011, 04:25:05 pm: Latin. I would have pushed myself to get a good score in that class if only my school offered it.

Yeah, it does seem quite interesting, we didn't have a teacher qualified and the students interested either

Post by: schnappy on June 11, 2011, 12:00:54 am: VET Electrotechnology.

School has a program(s) that are more advanced than it for year 8's... subject would be wicked, the school has a guy who could teach it in his sleep and the facilities. I don't think they'd like saying they teach a TAFE subject though... elitist wankers.

Post by: Interficere on June 11, 2011, 12:08:38 am: Classical Studies, Religion and Society or Sociology. Or, you know, Dutch. Because everyone should totally learn Dutch! And apparently our school used to have National Politics, but it got phased out. Pity.
