Signs of a different Education system.
The only subject I was allowed to retake was English, which was my saving grace. They wanted to fail me because I said Shakespeare wasn't teaching me tuba, my tuba teacher was. I hated my music lessons being in class time!! I also missed accounting, and just barely failed there.
I did, however pass Music and Physics, and got an A on prgramming languages!!!
I screwed up bigtime in maths, every time i thought I had it, I didn't. Also I got marked down for not having working out in the easier stuff. Get this, in year 10, I actually got all the questions right, and still failed a maths test!!!
