Hi,
When I came back from holidays my class had been put with another teacher for ancient history. The teacher had done one of those four for five things where they take four years of reduced pay and then can take the fifth year off with the same amount of pay. Well they history faculty it would a great idea to split the two ancient history classes in my school and one would go with the returning teacher and the other would stay where they were. This is a huge problem for a number of reasons.
No one does particularly well first term of year 11 because we don't know what to expect, we don't know what the teacher expects and all the rest of it. It is like an experiment, and by the end of year 11 i had used that experiment and i was untouchable in ancient history. Now my class has to experiment again, which at this stage i cannot afford, because i am currently on equal first and looking for a huge UAI; if i drop downi cannot get back up.
This is unfair when both classes are on the same ranking line but are given completely different subjects. Because of the nature of the units my class has to study a variety of officials for the next assesment task and the other class only has to study one. They say that they are going to cross reference the marks they give and the questions ask a similar thing. Yet, the nature of the subject and cause i have a knew teacher it is not even clear what the question is asking. Every time i hand in a draft i get a different story. And the teachers have completely different marking standards
getting to the point, is it or is not technically not allowed for one class on the one ranking system to be required to do two different subjects. If i am screwed over is it possible for me to legally contest these rankings through the board of studies and do i have a case. What is the procedure for this??????
