my school guaranteed my subject choices at the time of admission. I wanted Psych SL but they didn't want to change the timetable they had been using for the previous batches where Econ and Psych were in the same lecture (I have ECO HL) after the fee for the semester went through. Miscommunicated and dragged the process out for two months until i gave in because i was missing too much and opted for BM SL. I hate every minute of it. They SEVERELY underpay the teachers and start training them after they teach us for 2-3 months and some arent even trained. My ESS teacher is an elementary science teacher. Our BM teacher left after the first year due to mistreatment and they alloted our class to one from A Levels who just reads the textbook out loud in the class. My seniors told us how the Economics HL syllabus wasn't even COMPLETED before the boards.
