We do - I think it's a good idea as most jobs nowadays will involve computers. Ethics is a complete waste of time though.
We're an academy, so we don't follow the national curriculum.
We have to pick our options by half term!
Can't stand IT! Hardly anyone picks it at GCSE I've gathered, I personally like RE, although it can be very restricted.
The teachers say 'free speech' and all that, then as soon as you say 'I don't believe in religion or think it's good, and I think it's the biggest problem in the world' (not me, somebody else) you get people having a go telling you to be constructive and give reasons...
Think I'll pick it anyway, the classes are tiny - the naughty kids are forced to do it, so that does add both a good factor (lol at them being removed from the lesson and thrown in isolation) and a negative factor (them being utter twats and just being awful on the whole), and I think it looks quite good on the curriculum...crime and punishment, human rights, etc.
