I took history for GCSE (and now at AS), and I really did/do enjoy it, any idea what topic's you'll be covering yet? We did WW1, the Cold War, Britain (during WW1) and America in the 1920's (for our coursework piece), and the Britain exam was just WW1 all over again as it turned out! (Even though we learned every act introduced in the period... )

Sorry, must have skimmed over these two posts and not realised. Thanks both of you.

I think I made the right choice in regards to German, as I spoke to the Head of German briefly when I walked in this morning and when I told her, she said she was probably going to be teaching most of the GCSE classes next year (she has about 10 hours with Y7&8 down at the lower site, and only about 4 hours with GCSE students). And she's lovely, and really seems to care about the kids she teaches, so that will surely motivate me.

I've heard Business can be a dodgy subject. I've heard reports that the Head of Business is an absolute b**** and delights in being in control. I had her for a one-off Go-Ahead day in Y8, and she was an absolute b@st@rd. The only other business teacher is the Head of the Upper Site where I am, and he seems to always be angry and so annoyed with life...I just hope it proves to be a good move!

Finally, for History and Geography, I picked them because I feel like I really do well in History, and I imagine Geography will help me a lot with a career in the transport industry (you never know...maybe one day Dan, citaro5284 and myself could be work buddies! [emoji23][emoji23]).

Anyway, as ever, I will keep you all updated on how s***ty school is, if any of those girls are expelled in the future and if any of the teachers are being dicks to me.
