User3143 said:What?! They are! At an actual purpose built 6th form college you get waymore respect as a student, treated like a young adult rather then the school pupil you have been for the past 3/5 years and way more resources to study and to do research.
User3143 said:Hence, you have just proved one of the points I made in the previous post.
User3143 said:Purpose built 6th form college I very much doubt you would. If you was to give any shoot to the tutors and not do the work then you would be kicked out.
This was made very clear to us all by my Business Studies tutor within the first week.
''....we are under no legal obligation to keep you here and to teach you. If you mess around, don't complete your homework are consistently late or don't turn up then you will be thrown off the course.''
We actually turned out to be the best class he had ever had. On the second module exam over 3/4 of the class passed with an ''A''

Not suggesting you do that ... just is that an option available or would you have to resit the last year?
Yep, i could transfer over. This is what my mum wants me to do, im not so keen.
Do you know if any other pupil has had major problems with him - perhaps in other year groups? And did they make complaints to the school?
Not in this year, but over the years i know he has had many complaints after he has done certain things
I really don't know what to suggest other than the keep your head down - could your mum go in and talk to either your tutor or head of year and see if they have any suggestions about the best way to overcome the incompatibility between you and the teacher. For example if it was possible to change who was teaching that course as you hinted (I don't know how realistic that is), or you missing his lessons but being allowed to tape the content and get all the hand outs for a week or two and let it calm down between you.

I've just read this thread and, to be frank, it sounds like you're enjoying the drama. Nonetheless, I hope you get it all sorted out.
ATB.
GordyFaeEdinburgh said:Clearly your attitude is not the problem in any way.
I would estimate my boredom to be equivalent to that of the other commenters on this thread.
