<P>This really annoys me. And I'm not even teaching Year 12 this
year. <STRONG>When</STRONG> are vcaa going to give us some sample
solutions to their sample problems? <STRONG>Why</STRONG> are they
unable to do this as a matter of course, each time they bring out a new
study design? I bet Maths teachers get solutions to sample Maths
problems. Why is ITA any different? Is the sky going
to fall down? Will the earth stop spinning on its
axis? </P>
<P> </P>
<P>No.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>It may actually help teachers to come to grips with the course and what is
expected. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>I'm not really expecting an answer from vcaa (Paula?) but it would be
nice if someone could explain or even justify this stance.</P>

<DIV>I'm thinking of doing some, but I dread tackling some of those dodgy
questions... particularly the normalisation one (to which I object).
<BR><BR>However I'm sure other people are champing at the bit and keen to have
a go themselves ;-)<BR><BR>
