Try year 11 buddy.
Or, move to Queensland - Australia.
The education system there is so screwed that you can pass doing jack-all.
In NSW - you need to apply yourself straight from the start.
I am unfamiliar with the system, sorry, but i know it is alot of work.
I'm taking two subjects I have no idea about - so I think i'll suffer more then you will, my friend.
However, school is not pointless.
School is good for 3 things...
1) Learning skills and abilities to further benefit your future self
2) Develop friendships that will last you to your adult life
3) Develop socializing skills - valuable for your work life.
If you are in grade 6-7, then make the most of it.
If you are starting high school, you will be extremely supprised at how amazing it is, and how different it is from your primary school.
The subject choice in high school is much better then the choice in primary school - plus for the first 2 years (or first year sometimes) you get assigned different classes so you can find your strengths.
However, I think its wrong with certain schooling systems where they tally your final mark from when you start school - because you get put into classes you would never pick and have no interest in - so your not going to apply yourself or get a good mark, sometimes you may not understand that subject which is normal.
If you are in grade 6-7 and still in primary school - lap it up.
You are treated like royalty by everyone (depending lol). I remember we got away with murder and your final years in primary dont really matter.
So we just bludged it and chilled out, try convince your teacher to go do PE randomly or try get them to do classes outside or in a library instead of the classroom.
In final years, they sometimes dont mind.
Was that enough to motivate you, or did I scare you?
Lofl.
