Is it the fact that you are not crowned when you are a queen, you're crowned to become one? Therefore no queens are crowned....

Yes! Both Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II were princesses when they were crowned biggrin.gif Well done Oddball (and Nicki 'cos you were nearly there!!)

Hmmmm....... Not sure this is right. The accession to the throne was in 1952 (thus silver jubilee was in 1977 and golden in 2002) and the coronation was in 1953 a year later. Surely Elizabeth would be queen from the date of accession, not the date of coronation. Wasn't the coronation just the formal ceremony and not the act of her legally becoming Queen?

Yup...I just googled this

Queen Victoria became Queen on 20/6 /1837 and was crowned on 28/6/1838
Queen Elizabeth became Queen on 6/2/1952 and was crowned in June 1953

Goodness, the brain cell capacity of my General Studies group is so tediously low.

I.e
TEACHER - We're going to discuss euthanasia. Now C what is euthanasia?
C - It is a country isn't it?

It goes on and on like that, I don't want to sound like I feel I am the best or anything, but the people in it are ridiculous, don't care about work, and obviously haven't for years.

And even those who know probably prefer to be "funny". Hum di ho. It gets much better at uni when you are generally around people who care about the same things you do. Not always but usually, in my experience.

A lot of the people at my uni don't seem to care enough. That or they think music is all about playing/singing and that they don't need to turn up to any of their other classes.

It's really a shame sad.gif

Ach, yeah I sympathise. Same sort of thing, but I think it was in year 9, people in my class couldn't put the names of the countries of the UK onto a map.....eek


But I know what you mean about the behavioural stuff as well. These people are just not grateful for the hard work teachers put in! Or perhaps the fact that they're taking their GCSEs in June! It's not a lack of intelligence - they're perfectly capable of doing the excercises; they just don't....

One thing I've come to notice from cadets is that whenever we get new recruits, they're harder to discipline than new recruits might have been a few years ago. It usually comes from a lack of discipline at home methinks...and I think this applies in schools also.

Heh, most of my set is too. But there is a guy who know quite well and who is an absolute genius at Maths, yet he didn't know what either "censorship" or "satire" was. So I guess the class for some people has a point - shame they have to put us all through it though.

I'm proud to say that I didn't enrol in Alcohol 101

I was just thinking "it's mainly the singers who are the worst", but that's unfair considering as the singers outnumber the instrumentalists by about 10:1 so of course more singers are going to be like that...

My 6th form made some attempt to teach general studies but, as in your case, people just used to mess around and the teachers weren't too bothered about covering anything in particular.

I think, I was told at one point, that it's a good idea to read the newspapers late January/early February as that's when they're setting the exams so any current affairs issues (GM crops, whatever the media jump on) are taken from then.

nicki - spend your time studying for your other A-levels. Apparently, it's normal to get roughly the same grade in GS as in the other A-levels without actually working for it, so I wouldn't concern yourself with it too much. And, in my experience, universities aren't interested in it....

As for satire - I guess my classics GCSE had its uses....

I knew quite a few like that at school.

I must've been fortunate at uni... both at college and in my subject, there were a few who liked to party hard, but mostly they also worked hard too. In college I'd estimate those who were intelligent, hardworking, and didn't feel the need to get blitzed every night outnumbered the partyanimals, although we did have a fair number of those too... there were plenty of non- or moderatedrinkers, non-pubcrawlers, people who were interested in their subjects and other things, people you could sit chatting to for hours instead of them only being interested in drinking for hours. Seemed to be plenty enough to have a group of reasonably sensible, fairly hardworking, fun, interesting friends! Maybe I was just very fortunate. In the Russian group particularly those who partied hard were among the ones who worked the hardest too! (harder than me!)

Good advice.

At my school you only had to do general studies if you weren't already doing 4 A Levels or 3 A levels plus a GCSE or something. There are definite advantages to the old system *grin* much easier now to make students do an AS as it's only for a year etc etc

God, tell me about it! I'm in year 11 and have my GCSEs in June and some people are so relaxed that it is scary. For example, we did a test in music today and out of 20 people, only 5 got over half marks! Most of the class couldn't care less to be honest and it is really annoying, considering that I like music and want to get a good grade (no one has got an A* in my school for at least 4 years! blink.gif )

I'm just getting sick of people in some classes (music, English, Spanish and lifeskills come to mind) disrupting stuff the whole time.....

I just want to go somewhere where I can be myself without being made to feel that I'm some kind of geek or freak...
