1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Job mission with James and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: Well, yesterday was the maths HSC. It's interesting after the

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: History the Modern History HC. Jack came home. Jack texted

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: me and said this was one of the hardest ones

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: that teachers have seen. And the next text just said

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: it was a blood bath, which a lot of history is.

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: Let's be fair.

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 3: I sent him a little good luck text, Yes did you?

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice? Well, maths was yesterday, and apparently it

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: was a shocker. The good thing is that the kids

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: now are all connected to Facebook pages where everyone reads

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: what everyone else thought.

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Well, you can also have a go at the author

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: of the particular texts that you have to study in English.

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: That bo Japanese poet or whatever it.

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: Was living in la and mining his own business, and

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: people saying, hey, WTF, what's this about?

18
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: Back in nowday, we couldn't do that.

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: You couldn't I Jane Chaucer, Shakespeare, bathstale, what's that about? What?

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: So the maths one yesterday apparently was really hard, and

21
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: the year before it had been really hard as well.

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: We can't have access to the papers. This is interesting

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: because not all the kids sit them at the same time.

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: If there's an issue and you have to sit it separately.

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: You may not have done it yet, so that's why

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: we can't get access to the papers. But there was

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: one question that it required students to calculate the total

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: number of Goanna and emu legs in what and it's

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: just thrown. I don't know the question. But on the

30
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: Facebook HSC group, everyone is just saying this was horrendous.

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: So at least when we used to come out of

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: our exams, you think that was terriblem the only person

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: that thought it was terrible. Now you can go on

34
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: this and find out that every single person thought it

35
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: was terrible.

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: It's quite amazing, isn't it.

37
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: Someone else said this is the worst thing I've ever done.

38
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: Another said that they only did one question in the

39
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: second booklet. Other people be.

40
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: Going there was a second booklet.

41
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: Someone said, I literally just sat there not doing anything

42
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: for two hours. Oh awful feeling.

43
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: I would have done my name with great flourish pass.

44
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: I would have brendan.

45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mark would have got that's lovely. He's off

46
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: to due medicine. I think I told you that when

47
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Harley went to school one hundred million years ago, he

48
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: was in school in England, and the teachers wore their gowns,

49
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: not evening gowns, but you know, the proper academic gowns

50
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: and caps in class and and exams were terrifying. And

51
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: he said there was one exam whe they had to

52
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: turn over their paper, and about twenty minutes later you

53
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: looked down and there was just a trickle of urine

54
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 2: that had come from the back of the room.

55
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: Guy actually wet his pants apparently. So really, it's quite

56
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: the exam.

57
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: Quite the exam today is ancient history, and there are tips,

58
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: it says in the Daily Telly Top Tips for Ancient

59
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: History exams. I've just put a picture on my install

60
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: I think they've made this the copy I saw online.

61
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: Here's what it says. Let me find it for you.

62
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: Okay, it won't be a moment, Yeah sure.

63
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: Okay, just talk amongst yourselves, it says, he you know,

64
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: here's what to do. Make sure it's evidence based. In

65
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: the last intence, it says, if students don't refer to

66
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: ancient written or archaeological evidence in their answers, they simply

67
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: won't access that ban six, no matter how well they

68
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: are right write.

69
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: So here's a tip.

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: Get a sub it as a daily telly.

71
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 3: But looking at these, if you fail the AGC, you

72
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: can get a job at the telling.

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: But in our day exams that in history were just

74
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: remembering dates was a memory test.

75
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: Caeliponation was when were they?

76
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: When were they? But now you have to compare and contrast.

77
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: You have to analyze. You have to be philosophical and

78
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: have opinions and thoughts and be profound. All we had

79
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: to do was, you know, the Battle of Marathon. He

80
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: ran over there incarct and gave the message and came back.

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: Or make a diorama. That was my thing in history

82
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: do the HSC. No. I just got to year ten.

83
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: But in year nine, which is the slack off year,

84
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: all you do is make dioramas.

85
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: So you have to fashion a pyramid, easy block a styrofoam,

86
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: put your little chambers in there, your anti chamber painted yellow.

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: There you go.

88
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: You'd have loved it. It's like Leger.

89
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: You'd get a B minus at best.

90
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: Brendan, why don't they have the diorama section in the HSC.

91
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: By Titanic diorama is the ship half in and half

92
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: out of the water.

93
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: I remember the projects used to do for the Gold

94
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: rush and you just burn around the outside of the paper.

95
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Bit of milk on some and you've got the oldie paper,

96
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: some parchment. My whole thing is title page.

97
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: And I remember doing a whole project and it was

98
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: the produce of Papua New Guinea and most of the

99
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: pages were taken up with little bags of rice that

100
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: I just stuck it in there.

101
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: So, yeah, that's the greatest thing in the world. It's

102
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: too hard now, isn't it.

103
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: If you're good at title pages, then breakfast radio is where.

104
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: You kind of go. Jonesy and Amanda's
