I do remember seeing some unimpressed expressions on the faces of
prospective 2011 ITA candidates when they saw a summary of the new ITA

Same thing at this school. More kids in SD than ITA for 2011. The Year 10
programming elective has always run so that's not the factor.<br>
<br>
But this school has had enrolments be as low as 5 for ITA and as high as
19 (this year) in ITA.<br>
<br>
Yep. It's odd.<br>

It's really odd!<br>
<br>
ITA, which has run continuously forever with good numbers has barely scraped a
class together for next year by combining year elevens and twelves into one
small ITA class.<br>
<br>
SD, which has only run every 3 or so years (with a small cohort when it did
run), is nearly over-subscribed.<br>
<br>
There don't seem to be any clear local causes for such a great change of
attitude (e.g. changes of teachers or big changes in middle-years IT offerings)
so I can only put it down to either something in the water, or the changes to
the study design.<br>
<br>
To be fair, I haven't heard kids explicitly blaming the ITA study design, and
for some reason they seem dead keen on programming in our year 10 Info Systems
elective. My year 11 IT classes have been dead quiet for 2 weeks with the kids
busily coding in VB6. Last year I had to beat them with chairs to finish the VB
material... this year I can sit up the front folding paper aeroplanes and
clipping my toenails while they beaver away and sort out problems within their
own ranks.<br>
<br>
Odd!<br>
