    I'm hoping to do LCVP, but the principal said they arent going into it till September. There's no LCA in my school next year, not enough people wanting to do it...a few people dropped out because of that. :(

    What are all these different courses? What the hell's a link module? Why are there different courses? What are the (dis)advantages? Why have I not heard of them before?

    Why didn't you put TY up as an option? About 60 in our school are doing it. A waste of a year maybe, but a good waste of a year! :D

    Have you never been told anything by your teachers about the course choices?...surely you guidance counsellor has talked to your class about it :confused:

    I'd guess that about 90% of my year are doing TY (loads of people always do TY in my school), and so am I. Then it'll be LCE, most likely.

    Thanks for that. Actually LCVP looks like it might be good for me. I know what I want to do and it's a skill (acting). I'll talk to my guidence counsellor about it next year.

    Well there are people on this forum who did their JC last year :rolleyes: So what d'you think?

    Anyway, since I'm all old and stuff, and did my JC like 70 years ago, it makes little difference to me anyway. =P

    The Mods should make a general(under Soc, Education) secondary school forum and put JC and LC into it but allow people in secondary who do not fall into JC or LC to post in a diff area of it

    Stopped reading the thread here... LCVP is basically just like another subject as part of the LC. You are only eligible for it through certain subject combinations and your final grade is heavily based on a Portfolio of Coursework. To get back to the point, no they are not too completely different courses altogether and I did LCVP as part of my LC this year. That is all.

    Eh, I don't see why we need a new forum.
    I mean, what exactly are we going to be discussing in a TY forum...?
    And a general education forum... well, education is mostly aimed towards the exams so the J/LC forums can suffice for that.

    And other stuff, like people ranting about uniforms and things, well, if you've got a topic there's probably SOME forum on Boards that can take it.
