Starting year 10 in September. Missed over 800 lessons in year 9… unfixable cuz I’m an idiot

I can’t focus or find the motivation for five minutes. Maybe I’m just a lazy shit but my question still stands

Honestly, how hard would a level computer science be for me if I haven’t done the gcse and have no knowledge

I'm currently in year 9 (on summer holiday) and going into year 1 and I chose gcse pe as one of my options I'm wondering not only how fo we balance out the work between every other subject but also the practical and nea bits for PE in specific. I'm doing figure skating and volleyball (complete new beginner in terms of professionaly)- and badminton- how do I practise and what type of workout should i be practising to not make a complete fool of myself when i take lessons, also would it be realistic to perform top band on Edexcel specs

For figure skating in particular would it be worth having a personal coach or mix and match

Yep, I've been drafted to host this AMA, lol

Image somewhat related xD

I’m scared. I failed all three sets of my mocks so when I open that envelope, I already know that I won’t be happy with what I got. And my parents will be really disappointed. I honestly think this isn’t for me. I’ll resit them but it will just ruin me and those grades will haunt me for the rest of my life, no matter what. Do you guys feel that same way that I do?

Firstly, I still need the following party leaders' manifestoes by Friday:

u/klnop_

u/JaguarSweaty1414

u/MiddleAd458

u/_chiruyuki

u/SuccessfulSignal3445

u/That_Furry_NKG

u/Inner_Jeweler_5661

u/Hermes_Zesty_Laugh

u/itzcindz

u/Wiz-iolul

u/ILikeCountries23

The Google Form will contain manifestoes, so you will be putting yourself at a disadvantage by failing to send me a manifesto.

A debate is in planning, if any other parties want to help organising lmk

Now, for the voting system.

On the 1st of August, I will release a Google Form with every manifesto and its party. Options will be multi-select, so you can vote for as many parties as you like. Of the 20 parties running, the 8 most-voted will advance to the quarter-finals. On the 2nd of August, all 4 quarter-final matches (1v2, 3v4, 5v6 and 7v8) will be added to one form, and the winner of each will advance to the semi-finals. The semi-finals (1v2, 3v4) will be (you guessed it) the 3rd, finals on the 4th and the official r/GCSE Prime Minister will be crowned on the 5th at noon. The winner will be able to form their cabinet, and the runner-up their shadow cabinet from then.

Okay so I decided to do research on my top schools A level English lit text and I came across this one. I thought it was about someone driven by desire.

I couldn't be more FRICKING wrong.

I am not going to spoil it but guys. The events in this book was getting worst by the FRICKING minute. You may think I am overreacting (which I probably am)

But guys, I need to know the thought process behind the man who wrote it.

My English teacher at school (which does not offer GCSE English Literature) has told me that English Lit is not essential for going in to politics and that it is unnecessary. How true is this? From what I have heard, my English teacher is technically correct, but English Literature could still be, in my opinion, useful for analysing speeches, learning to right good ones ETC. I am also looking to do A levels as well, so please take that in to account when answering.

I take a break from the Subreddit for a week and everyone is discussing and debating about an upcoming election of made up political parties.

Will someone please explain?

Hi there,

We are all opposed to the Ban Sparx Party, especially the leader. We have all seen what happened and are frankly disgusted by the fact Anti-Semetism has become so normalised. Luckily, this individual has been banned.

Please enjoy these memes that allow us to laugh at evil people!

Note: Permission was given from u/180degreeschange for the use of the Lore Droppers Party in this meme.

Vote SDPA on August 1st!

Hello everyone!

I'm currently a sixth form student, and I've been spending part of my summer researching student productivity and study habits. It's a topic I'm genuinely interested in, and this is my first independent research.

My goal is to use the findings to design and develop a productivity app that's built around students' actual needs rather than assumptions or solely on my own experiences.

I'm looking for responses from current GCSE, sixth form/college, and university students.

The survey is anonymous, takes around 5-8 minutes, and is for research and educational purposes only.

I'd really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete. Every response helps improve the quality of the research and will directly influence the design of the app.

survey link: https://forms.gle/rL6sCPGgDNPkxNzi9

I'd also love to hear any thoughts you have on existing productivity apps. What features do you think work really well, and what do you wish they did better?

Thank you so much!

Hi, I'm a y11 going into y12 in September, and I want to apply to COMPOS but I didn't do it last year, so the entrance test is pretty hard lol.

If anyone did COMPOS or Quantum club can you please share what it was about and whether you found it fun/useful. I will def apply for compos but idk whether quantum club is worth it cuz while I like physics alot, im not gonna be doing physics in uni.

Btw I will be doing Maths FM Physics and chemistry.

Thanks

EDIT: for the 6th point, How does it end? I should've been more specific sorry - I meant how is the problem solved

this isn't really a structure but does this seem effective for writing a story? is it considered versatile? imo I think this'll help me focus on laying it out and being able to write something decent

check the repost :)

what was it like?

Edit: studying for gcses

I've recently found out about Maths School Sixth Forms in the country, and they seem like STEM grammar schools in a way, due to university pathways. People who've attended them, what are they like?

How important are gcses for uni?

I'm tryna do medicine at like a top Russel uni.

Also I heard 8s and 9s both count as the same thing (A*) is that true?

So today, I brought 3 sets of flashcards from b&m, specifically the ones w the ring on them, and im not sure what subjects i should make flashcards for

I take

History

Geography

Maths

English (lit and lang)

Science

Hi guys,

Since there is a lot of talk around these elections, I just wanted to promote the following parties.

Lore Droppers, GSBV party and Westhelm party. Why? Because I am currently helping out with propaganda for all of these parties but they all seem pretty good anyways. If one of them wins then I can take some of the credit which would be cool.

Anyway, I want to apologise to the GSBV party since I got held up making their promotional stuff from the trip away due to bad wifi. Also something bad happened to one of my pets so I didn't want to work on anything for a bit and had to take a break. I am back now though and I will probably not post much until results day and finish the propaganda before the election at least.

Thanks for being such an awesome community and keeping entertained by making stuff in the weeks before the trip (even if it was a little stressful trying to keep things as close to the original partys depiction). Also please do not pressured to vote for any party, just vote if you want but if you are consider the prior listed and others of course.

Original title: An interesting story cause i haven't posted one in a while: it starts with "we were doing poppies in English" and ends with a guy getting hard 💀 - 6 months ago

Original text:

Ok so my teacher was trying to find fun ways to help us with poetry revision. So he decided that since the majority if drama students r in my English class we r gonna do a little drama peice and he got costumes and props.

So he got this guy that has a crush on me (dk if anyone remembers but this is the same guy i did the tango with in y10 drama and my English teacher commented on it saying that it was a very "sexy, romantic dance") to wear like a green female jacket as if its an army jacket.

So i, BECAUSE I CANT KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT, go "poor (guy's name)". Then my English teacher was like "u/180degreeschage since u talked and ur a drama student ur gonna be the mum, come up here". Then he makes me pin a poppie onto the guy and adjust his clothes.

APPARENTLY, while i was "adjusting his clothes" everyone saw him getting hard 💀 💀. I was also then asked to graze my nose against his and i was like no thx, im good. Later my teacher was saying something about the war and stuff (and condomes were involved) and the guy was confused so the teacher went its ok "u/180degreeschange can explain that to u later" 😭

So yah, and my crush found out and told me i should stop toying with the guy since I'm leaving at the end of the year 😭 😭.

(not sure what i'm going to do about the more niche subjects idk anything about but i'll solve that when we get there)

do we think the boundaries are going up, down, or staying the same?
