    Sounds like that original teacher was a jerk. If most students are failing the tests, then he's either not teaching correctly or the tests are bogus.

    That's what us students keep saying!! . Thankfully the head of maths at our school has noticed the problem and something is being done about it. Our maths teacher (he was away due to illness, thats why we had another teacher) keeps blaming us every day, saying its our fault we do so bad because we don't do the work etc.... apparently he didn't notice that we did really well, with doing the same amount of work, but with a different teacher!

    Good for you. Around here it's so hard to get rid of bad teachers. And who suffers? The students.

    I survived 46 degree C without a fan/anything to assist for continuous six hours.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    That's 115F for we Americans. That's pretty hot. Was there humidity too or was it a dry heat? Ive been in a desaert where the temperature has reached 130F or 54.5C. But it was a dry heat. But at that temp who cares dry, wet, it's hot!

    It's basically a hot dry place where I live, but one of the hottest in the country. Many people refer to it as a semi-desert too when agitated by the hotness.

    And the electricity tends to go off quite a lot since we are facing a great electricity trouble in the country these day. Sometimes even for twelve hours a day but about eight-ten hours are normal everyday. This makes the matter worse and one sweats badly.

    I just found out that I scored in the bottom 33rd percentile on my LSAT, which means I don't have to worry about going into debt paying to go to law school. OK, I guess that's nothing to boast about.
