Yeash..that's just messed up....I watch crime shows (both reality and fiction) and not even I would be able to stand that

i remember when my science teacher made us look at pictures of cow eye dissection i just couldn't stand it and my friend almost threw up.

Thank gawd I skimped out on advanced biology

i had no choice, we have to do science in year 9 and that was one of the topics we were covering.

We had a few options in our school.

yeah, we get some electives. but history, geography, maths, science and health/PE are compulsory until the end of year 10 and english has to be done up until the very end.

In our system, history and geography is combined into one class, Social Studies. You do that, Science, English, Math, and PE all through high school. There are some fairly good option, but nothing all that amazing.

My school focused on athletics and academics. They didn't give a shit about creativity.

yeah well, as electives we have textiles, art, woodwork, metalwork, engineering, IST, graphics technology, drama, agriculture, food technology, french, german, japanese, indonesian and possibly some others i can't think of. but you only get to choose 2.

That sounds quite weird, the only electives we could have were Latin and Greek.

We have about 50 different elective to choose from.

In my school we could choose to do the following [those in bold were ones I took]:

French, IT or PE [an hour period of PE was compulsary, while a one hour IT was called Key Skills]
Geography or History
Art, Drama or Music
Graphics, Resistant Materials [woodworks] or Textiles
And in the end we could choose whether or not to take the final Religious Education exam, but I was one of only two people that actually chose not to.

we only had...like...one elective. Everything else that could be considered an elective was a business type class.

So, you can't study both history and geography in the UK?

Not after the first three years of secondary where both are compulsory.

It's a bit late though xD

Yep, schools out!

not for me it is. this isn't even the end of first semester.

I'll be on semi-holiday by the end of the week

That really sucks. It is practically winter for you isn't it?
