TY is melting my brain and ruining my.. uh.... imaga- something-or-other

Yes. TY can be fun. Sometimes
Yes. We  Go on trips. Sometimes
Yes. It kills brain cells. Always
 I really can't stand the language studies we are forced to do in TY. We don't learn French in French class, we do projects on whatever instead.
 We don't do Irish in Irish class, we watch films instead.
  We don't even improve our English.. AT ALL
 Seriously, we're reading "The Van" by Roddy Doyle. A funny book, yes, but hardly an appropriate book to be reading in English class!

1. Awful language.
2. Not at all challenging to one's vocabulary.
3. (Intentionally) Bad grammar.

In Maths, we're revising 3rd year stuff.

 In short, third year was more challenging, enjoyable, and, strangely, less stressful. Projects, are, I'm sure, important for 5th year, but If all we're doing is 3rd year-level stuff, without the tiny-est bit of interest from teachers, and we're expected to meet 5th year standards, then something is seriously wrong.

In my opinion, a school should make this crap black and white, either make an educational year, or make it a doss year.
