yconic is the place where you can give and get the help you need for your life as a student. To help keep our community an enjoyable, helpful and safe place for all members, please adhere to the following guidelines.
1. Be nice to people. It's okay to provide constructive criticism, but there is no need to insult other members. For example, "X major is over-saturated right now. You might have trouble finding a job" is fine. "Your major is dumb. Have fun working in fast food," is not helpful nor appropriate.
2. Ask actual questions. If you're looking for help with something, titling a thread "HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" isn't going to appeal to the members that may be best suited to help you. Be specific and title your post with relevant information.
3. Don't abuse the anonymous feature by pretending to be multiple people. Surprise, surprise, we know who posts what :)
4. Please only tag relevant interests when you create a new thread. Adding unrelated interests is unlikely to get you the help you're looking for and can frustrate other members.
5. Avoid spamming. This includes replying to your own thread for the sole purpose of moving it up the discussion feed.
6. Don't expose other people's personal information. If someone is posting anonymously, please respect their privacy.
7. If you see something you don't like, click the 'Report' button in the post menu and a moderator will review it. Please avoid commenting on inappropriate posts as this only encourages them.
8. Did a post help you? Click the "Was this post helpful?" button to help us recognize our most helpful members and so that other people will know the response was...you guessed it, helpful!
If you do not respect our guidelines, you may be temporarily or permanently banned from the yconic community.

This is nothing new for me and the hard working students of my enhanced learning school. Students (We like to call them delinquents or mainstreams) go to Beacon and they turn their 52 in Advanced Func. into a 95. I think this is outrageous. However, there ARE private schools like UCC and Appleby that are very prestigious and have the best teachers in the country which deserve their marks.

^this. and like VladimirB said there are private high schools in Ontario where students do have to earn their marks and take enriched curriculums (Appleby, UTS, Crescent, UCC, Appleby, St.Mike's).

There's plenty of kids that get accepted to top business programs that paid for their marks. Some of these kids will fail in first year, but it's not as if admissions officers see this little glowing button beside their name that says they bought their marks, and then they hit that button as fast as they can to reject them.
Although it is a huge problem, I'm pretty sure if you don't have a firm grasp of the basic math/writing concepts, you'll fall flat on your face during first year. But yes it's unfair and lots of kids (around 20+) at my school take private school courses to get their marks up so they can get into uni. Many of these kids are going into business too.
These are the kids who get into programs too tough for them, pay all sorts of tuition and fees, and drop out after a month. You should be thanking them for funding your education.
In my opinion, if you are totally busting your ass just to get that 99 in calc, you need to evaluate your priorities.

My english is alright, i got an 88, and an 83 on the exam. my advanced functions mark is a 91, and an 89 on the exam. Calculus is like ranging from low to mid 80s, but i have a 85ish so far...i don't try in school at all and get these marks.(no my teachers are not easy, i just have a high iq and learn quickly i guess) but still, if you were to give me basic math, id have some trouble....but if i learn the course from a teacher, textbook i can do very well. i guess im kinda textbook smart in math. English...everyone's got basic english lol. But im worried about math in first year uni...you have any comments or suggestions? thanks.
