''I don't go to Melbourne Grammar by the way. Don't know how to change it.''
Hello to those reading,
I'm having a somewhat pre-life crisis (XD) with VCE and schooling. I go to a 'pretty good school' which is private, ALOT of $ per year, averages about an 88 ATAR and is ranked about 40-50 each year for VCE results, which I've been going to for 11 years. Putting all that aside, I
FUCKING HATE this school (yes, I bolded it) with a passion. As I have a fairly bad reputation at the school because of one incident, which I won't go into, teachers pin-point me for shit I didn't do, put consequences on me for the smallest things and I had a meeting with my headmaster, telling me if I had one more misdemeanour throughout my schooling, I'd be put on review by the board, and most likely expelled. He explained it to me as 'death by 1000 cuts,' meaning I do nothing that bad, I just do small things; to make things worse, I argue with teachers that are wrong, despite the fact they're omnipotent with handing out punishments.
Basically, the school environment sucks. I hate the learning environment, wearing close that are 40 years past it's time, the teachers I have, the strict policies, most of the kids who talk about 'graphs' all day and blow their parents money on their left nose. You name anything about school, and I will hate it without a passion. I'm not purposely being pessimistic, I just hate it.
Of course, to my parents, despite them knowing I'm in trouble alot, I pretend I like school, tell them my day was good etc. just because I can't be bothered having the conversation on how school sucks and shit.
TL;DR ; I hate school.
Today, I had an excursion to both Melbourne UNI and RMIT, and I simply loved them both. More so Melbourne, but RMIT seemed good to. Since then, I've been wondering whether it'd be a good or bad idea to complete VCE, at RMIT.
http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=C2085;STATUS=A;PAGE_AUTHOR=Kalbitzer,%20Sybille;VIEW=;They offer all my subjects, apart from one which I'd happily swap for media.
But then of course, there is a dilemma.
:EDIT: I am currently doing 5 1/2 subjects, aswell as 3/4. If I wanted to change next semester, after I have finished one unit of all of those, such as the unit 3 out of 4, or unit 1's out of the 1/2, how could this be arranged?
TAFE, as RMIT categorise it, has a somewhat stereotype of those drop kick drug addicts (from what people around me say) who are going to do a trade or something. That is nothing like I want to do. I want to be running an online business whilst at RMIT, get an ATAR of about 90, then attend Melbourne University for Bachelor of Arts (so far.) If I were to explain that I want to do VCE at RMIT, I'd have to explain to my dad it is TAFE, and I just can't imagine the utter disappointment that would come from my dad.
I also don't know the quality of teaching there. Personally, I know someone who left my school, dropped out and is now doing 3 subjects there who speaks quite fondly of it as he hated school, but he says his teachers 'don't give a fuck, and are like drugged up teachers.' I don't know if this is some macho act by him, as I met him today for the first time in about 6 months, but I'm just going on his word.
Also, if I were to be putting down 'TAFE @ RMIT for my VCE' somewhere on some resume or something, does this look bad?
I've got so many more questions ... but I'll put them down later. THANKS!
