Time for my rant

You lot think you got it bad? Heres my effort at winning worst college and tutors. Last year I was doing GCSE's at college and my nan was dying, the college were informed of this and said that I could take time off and that they would also inform my tutors. Second week into college my nan passed away and I was off college (like any other person would be..) My head was pretty messed up and I was off college for two weeks thinking that it would be fine when I went back. I went back into college to be told all crap by every course tutor I had and that I was being withdrawed from my courses (right like me being off for the first two weeks would do anything to disrupt my progress people move courses up until christmas.) Ever since then even with my A's and B's the tutors hated me :S

This year I'm doing A levels. My business tutor resigned after 2 months of the course beginning and it took a further 2 months for the college to find a new tutor. Well this new tutor is great, hes a business tutor and doesn't even know about the stock market has lost a total of 15k in shares and also saving accounts. He comes into lesson unorganised: doesnt have the correct amount of handouts for the class and then won't go copy them, the handouts he gives us we have to share between 7 people on a square desk and to make it even better he begins reading from one of them while the whoel class confsed as to where hes reading from. We tell him that we dom't know where he's reading from for 30 minutes until he realises that he has given us all the wrong handout.

Perfect educational systems wouldn't you agree?

My future father in law is a plumber and he's rarely out of work but if you want to be really in demand there is a shortage of good electricians. :)

I did btec first dip on college and knew more than the teachers, I didnt do so well at the time as it was a bad period of my life, atm I wish i was more focused but tbh, the course was a retarded course aimed at ****ing middle aged retarded people.

For starters. BTEC is a National Diploma, not a First Diploma, First Diplomas are generally for people who underachieve in their GCSE's and passing the First Dip gets them onto the National.. and what did you do the diploma in?

There is a BTEC First Diploma, which is a level 2 qualification, that is a prerequisite to BTEC National Diploma (Level 3), unless you achieved the right grades to skip first and go right into second
