Economics

Economics

This at first glance appears to be a boring subject and certainly its teacher does nothing to dispel this myth. Mr Jackson is the sole teacher for this subject, which can be a disadvantage as there is no escape if you don't do his homework! He appears to hate his AS Economics sets and his Business Studies sets. Basically if you don't like Mr J then economics probably isn't worth pursuing.

However it's the only subject where I have been allowed to freely eat and drink during lesson time and turning up 15mins late isn't a serious offence. Also many lessons finish with at least 10 minutes before the bell allowing students to refuel at the canteen without the queues or get a quick game of pool in between lessons. If coursework deadlines are looming in other subjects it's almost the only subject where you can freely skip a couple of lessons and still be marked as present!
