  1. Opening the newspaper and searching for your ID number to look up your #Matric results has always been such an institution in #SouthAfrica, but that's about to end: techcentral.co.za/matric-resul

    On the one hand, it's a real shame. On the other, I can understand how it's necessary in this day and age, with all these #privacy concerns and so many underhanded people out there. Still, end of an era. :/

  2. I just discovered that my eldest foster daughter, who's in #Matric, does #Boolean logic (including AND, OR, and XOR) are part of the #Maths syllabus.

    My, but the syllabus has changed since I was in school! We only did that in Computer Studies.

    I also know they've done #Calculus in Matric for at least the last 10 years or so. And I remember once time in maths class, someone asked a question (this was Higher Grade, back when we still had different grades), and the teacher's response was, "Oh, don't worry about that. That's Calculus. You'll never touch that unless you do maths at varsity.

    To this day, I'm not even sure what Calculus *is*, but I know my brother did it in Matric about 13 years ago.

    Who says the standard of #education in #SouthAfrica is dropping? Sure, maybe the pass mark is dropping, but the difficulty and complexity is way higher than when I was at school! :O

  3. Join us tomorrow at 09:30 for a special gathering at #church, where we will come together to offer our prayers for all our #Matric students as they prepare for their final exams. Let's come together in #prayer and support them in their journey. 🙏✍

    Si je suis un peu plus favorable à #matric, je n'ai pas de contact et quand j'y vais je trouve que cela ressemble plus à IRC. On me demande de choisir des conférences. Une impression que la messagerie privé n'est pas mise en avant.
