They’re pissed. And upset. I’m gonna try out for yr 10 nxt yr and they’re refusing to send me for tuition. So that’s going grEat.
Hey,
First of all, its ok to feel upset. I understand you're disappointed, and so are your parents. But it's important to remember that even though you're not able to get into macrob this year, it's not the end of your academic career. There have been many people from non-select entry public schools who have scored 99+, and honestly, even if you end up attending macrob, you can't guarantee that you will necessarily do very well (have seen cases where people who did better than me in the select entry exam get a much lower ATAR in the end).
I think your parents may have a good reason not to pay for your tuition. If your current school's decent and there are a few dedicated teachers, if you stay at your current school and work hard, there will be teachers who go above and beyond and help you to achieve the best academically. On the other hand, being an ex select entry student myself, I've had some of the worst teachers I've ever encountered, and had to rely on a lot of self-study to push through. That saying, I did not attend Macrob, so teachers there might be quite different. But I just wanted to let you know that it's not the end all be all, and you can still do really well even if you don't get in.
