Btw, if there was a medal for selling books, Gold would definitely go to Taiga, who managed to sell an English book to a father of a kid in Year 4.

I'm assuming this father has never heard the term 'study design'.

Don't you write test-response essays in all sort of year levels?
And the english study guide in not bounded to a study design anyways

Pretty sure it is. It's a guide which is very thoroughly tailored towards improving essay writing skills but given that it has three sections specifically allocated to the three areas of study, I'd say its value would decrease significantly if they took Context and Language Analysis out of the Year 12 course. You're right in saying that text responses are pretty familiar across all year levels in a number of countries though.

Why I thought it was justified:

He wanted to improve his son's general English skills. The book teaches how to pick out evidence, how to sound smart whilst quoting it, and the structure in which you should do that in. Whether it's language analysis or text response, those are vital skills that anyone needs to know.

Odds are 2/3 of those study designs will still remain in 8 years. The only possible change they could make is moving to persuasive tasks, and/or or removing context. So even if you weren't to touch the book for that long, it's still probably good. That's assuming you only want to use it in year 12, in all honesty Text Response and Context are things which you get started on super early. I got it in year 7-10, so it might not be that long of a wait.

Of course - there's always the alternative explanation - Dan: "You are a just a horrible person"

summary of today:
Melbourne uni didn't turn up.
And there was no one dancing on the AN table.
Also when i got into the car, convo with mum:
Me: yay it was fun! You know the boss of AN is THE CUTEST asian ever. XD
Mum: didn't you say that last time?
Me: ahhh yeah.
(mum knows everything)

There were lots of curries at the AN table, i realised... But they were all from an. ;( trust us to be around when there is free chocolate.
