theres a GCSE PSE? i was never given the choice to do that, tho the retards of the school (IQ of 10 or less) which is quite a majority are doing this thing called "life skills" which on a HIGHER TIER PAPER i saw the question saying "what number do you repeat 3 times to get the police/fire/ambulance service?" i guess thats the closest thing to GCSE PSE you get around here... unless its the sex education type PSE, i wonder how they do practicals for that subject

and the other day i recommended DB for schools to my ICT teacher, though he's a forgetful old git who hasnt looked into it yet, i think in 2 or 3 yrs time i might go back in and offer to do some kind of after school club just for a bit of easy money.

btw do i get any recognition from TGC for recomending one of their products?

Trig? Unless you're going very retro and disregarding most of the existing command or are writing complex AI, not really
It's a niche - although when you know it all, it's increidbly useful.

They do a GCSE on that?!? The best I've been since GNVQ cooking and GCSE Child development!

Seriously !?

To be fair though, if some students don't want to do academic work, they won't, and there is little point in forcing them. I suggest that learning a trade might be a better option, rather than devaluing GCSEs by having vocational options.

In France there are two totally different routes to go down, one vocational, one academic. Seems more sensible to me.

Your school should have the packages. Some, like AutoCAD, are a bit expensive

Double Award is where you still study biology, physics and chemistry but in the end take 3 easier, shorter exams and your mark is the average of the 3.

Yeah, PSE GCSE??? That's Personal and Social Education isn't it? We have single days of that every so often, but a GCSE ...

Trying is the first step towards faliure.
