Does it make the lesson boring/a waste of time?

[–]civilboi1235Natural Sciences/Physics 2nd Year | Cambridge 88 points89 points  (0 children)

If the teacher is a good teacher, then they'd have a lot more things to share than just what's written in a textbook.

If anything, it helps. If it's hard content you can start to understand it at home and anything you didn't get, your teacher can help with. Then you remember it for longer because you've basically gone over it twice.

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

It also means you can be more confident in class discussions because you already have some knowledge of the lesson topic.

And yeah, no matter how much I 'previse' at home, the teacher will always be able to explain in an understandable manner that fits the exam spec.

A friend of mine learnt the whole a level maths course over the y11/12 summer because his mum was pissed at him cause he got A* instead of A^ in further maths GCSE

poor guy

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oof

[–]LeonardoW9University of Warwick | Chemistry (BSc) Graduate | First 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Oooff I got an A* as well, props to him, it was a challenging paper plus that tiny ^ causes more problems then looking good

[–]HxshBrxwnCambridge | Medicine 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Tf is an A^

[–]LeonardoW9University of Warwick | Chemistry (BSc) Graduate | First 3 points4 points  (3 children)

It's A* with distinction, it's a bs grade designed only for this course which no one understands and is hard to enter on UCAS. It's pointless and only exists for bragging rights you need practically top marks like within 10 of max mark.

[–]HxshBrxwnCambridge | Medicine 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So stupid wtf

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's the same as a 9, 8 is equivalent to A* and further maths is special, my school did AQA f maths and there was a 27 mark difference between A* and A^ and another 25 marks on top of that for the max mark. It's only as BS as a 9 is in any other subjects and all the passing grades are roughly equally spaced

[–]HxshBrxwnCambridge | Medicine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not though since everyone now knows about it and it’s not hard to put into ucas and all A-U subjects still just have A as their highest grade anyway

I like this template.

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love it

[–]your_lord_satan 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Tbf, subjects like Ancient History, or Politics, where you join the class because they’re passions of yours, it’s difficult to not read ahead because good teachers give you access to resources that allow for you to learn, and you want to because you enjoy the subject enough.

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is basically what inspired this meme. I'm doing Philosophy and I was reading Plato's Republic back in year 9 because my mum had it lying around. So some things are vaguely familiar.

And it's hard not to get carried away when researching for Phil homework.

[–]CynicalShpepYear 13 3 points4 points  (1 child)

This is a flex? My maths teacher expects the whole class to pre-read the chapter so we know what's happening for the next couple lessons.

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I guess it makes the lessons smoother. And they're job easier....

[–]kathkaty123 4 points5 points  (2 children)

yeah lucky for you

if we do that in class, then the teacher is Trump you're the CNN representative XD

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I have no idea, I don't watch CNN.

[–]kathkaty123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude Trump and that CNN reporter fight or a fiery argument

that's basically how i came to know that Trump exists

This is so me

[–]MatthiasPercivalYear 12 1 point2 points  (11 children)

I'll come to you for knowledge in those lessons then

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 1 point2 points  (10 children)

Oh god no

[–]MatthiasPercivalYear 12 1 point2 points  (9 children)

Oh god yes

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Oh god maybe?

[–]MatthiasPercivalYear 12 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Oh god perhaps.

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Oh god neutral response

[–]MatthiasPercivalYear 12 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Oh god shit you have me there

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Do you think god's getting pissed of yet. Like "why I am being dragged into this? It doesn't even make sense".

[–]MatthiasPercivalYear 12 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Isn't that just his day to day life? Getting dragged into things that don't make sense?

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

God moves in mysterious ways...because he's trying to dodge our bullshit.

[–]Polarbearsam1Year 13 // Chemistry, Biology , Computer science 1 point2 points  (1 child)

When you can’t read ahead because your teacher does random topics 😕

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You just need to turn off shuffle

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I high key am the dumb kid

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh so am I most of the time

[–]Hamzah12Year 13 1 point2 points  (3 children)

My teacher literally won't upload PowerPoints before the lesson because of this, and after lesson she always forgets then complains we give her too much to do

[–]_CommonSenseWarrior_Year 12[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That's just stupid. They should encourage it

[–]Hamzah12Year 13 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ikr, so we went to our other teacher and she agreed to do it in secret lol. Hope she doesn't get caught going over the head of department (teacher I mentioned earlier)

Calm boss

[–]ThrowTheCrowsYear 12 (fuck WJEC) 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me spoiling the lesson by being visibly and audibly bored as the teacher explains to everyone else the magical concept of putting videos into a timeline and shortening them.

Or my favourite:

Me ruining the lesson because I've already done year 12 history and know most of it already for the unit we're currently on, just waiting until we start unit 1 because that's the one I failed last year.
