Selected filmography

gollark: As I said, I think A-level might be better, as I only do 3 (well, 4) subjects I actually like, with better teachers and not with people who don't care, but... well, based on past evidence of school stuff it might also be equally terrible?
gollark: > well, the actual purpose of schools is to teach people things, but most students do not learn anything even if they go to school. source: mean math score being about 4/40 in the university entrance exam.Exactly! It's mostly worthless!
gollark: If they run that whole cycle fast enough it'll average out as a reasonable situation!
gollark: Outside of high-level stuff (GCSE *maybe*, probably A-level) I think it's *mostly* irrelevant if you take a few weeks off.
gollark: I mean, you can socialize at school, which is important, but you can do that anyway.
