Elitist Selective school mentality makes me rage! (1 Viewer)

[helium]

Ok, this just popped up on my newsfeed:

They're from a 'elite' selective school and sure, you might have worked hard, but if you really are the 'best', as you claim, why not get 1st in the state and not be-grudge other people a good mark?????????

 

[Obvious]

Be satisfied with the fact that deep down inside they're probably very, very insecure.

Sure, but it still pisses me off. I'm so angry.... I mean, can't they just accept that other people also work hard but might not be as smart??????? or have as great teachers as them???????????

theyre not gonna get a coop scholarship with that attitude, sure they might get an interview based off their application but they probably wont get any further than that

 

[Bloodstriker]

they may be booksmart but we will see how far it gets them with an attitude like that

Because generalisations are fun.

Wow lol... just because the test might've been easier than previous years, doesn't mean you have to be that cocky...

In all honesty.. if you're good at economics you don't memorise your essays for it.
And I don't think many people even DO memorise essays for economics. I make my essays up on the spot and I do completely fine in my exams.. it's just about taking all the stats and incorporating it into what YOU understand about a particular topic to address a particular question.

Oh my gosh, I never realised people could be such pretentious douchebags.
I mean, if they did well then good for them but they seem like the biggest fucking retarded bitches; and I assume they are female... as I kind of saw NORTH SYDNEY GIRLS name in one of the comments.
With that level of conceitedness they have towards others, I don't think they will get very far in life. Do you they believe they are entitled more marks just because they went to a selective school? Do they believe that deserve all those 'scholarships' because they may have studied more than others?
Seriously, who the hell would want to associate with fuckheads like those?

And someone should tell the peasant that hashtags on facebook are redundant.

lol.. i couldnt care less that this person was upset that the BOS set an apparently 'easy' test. I was jsut trying to say youre probably not gonna get a coop scholarship just because you think youre smarter than everyone else. They dont even give out that scholarship to people with the highest atars.. thats what the scientia ones are for..

EDIT: And what attitude do I supposedly have that will not get me far in life LOL..

Solid effort crossing out the school, you can still easily see it.

I feel mildly cheated by that test lol, but screw that ...in all honesty i'm quite appalled that the people in the picture have degraded comprehensive high school kids. It's definitely not on.

I feel the same way. Tbh I sort of agree with those selective school kids to an extent, where some of us slaved throughout the year trying to learn all this content and working hard in their internal exams.
Economics is really content heavy and requires a lot of time and effort to do well, and to know that everyone did well in the HSC exam is kinda... ehh. Like most people, they do economics because its a 'high scaler', but I'm assuming from all this commotion that it wont scale as well as previous years.

However, it doesn't give them a right to make themselves 'superior' over other students and degrade us.
