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.
Likewise, we have to pick our options before February 13th.
I have an idea about what I am picking - Business, Geography, German and possibly Computer Science too.
I quite like ICT. We normally do stuff like Spreadsheets, Scratch and Audacity. I like most of them.
And I'm sure you have to do Ethics/RE? - We'll have it as a form so there will be some disruption
It is normally quite funny though as you said. The teacher we have at present as not control over the class so normally sends them to about four different classes. It would look decent on your record, I agree, but I find it very boring.
