Don't forget it: GCSE free composition

This is for my free composition for my music GCSE. I was planning on adding more lyrics and other stuff but I couldn't for the life of me get the singing to sound good or the background music with it so I just deleted all that, left the bits I actually liked and here we are. I have to write some kind of essay to go with this and for the lyrics I'll say something like "the lyrics are intentionally vague so that the mood of the piece can be interpreted in many different ways" when in reality it's a song about me complaining about how Sparx Maths was mandatory homework every week (it's not any more, but I wrote the lyrics about a month ago).

Lyrics:

oh no but it's alright,

when you've never got to be the one who does it all night,

and you always got to do it no matter what you're saying;

keep on going back to play it.

oh but no this isn't fair,

it doesn't seem to mark it right,

and it's always got to be the one that nags you everywhere:

don't forget it, don't forget it.

The lyrics I scrapped (in a higher pitch):

oh but it never goes away,

the weekends metiforically

just a countdown to the day.

even though you hate it

with all your heart

it's only mandatory

so go take part.

Ignore the things

and follow the strings,

it never sings

nor does it have wings.

No, looking through a window pane

can make you go insane.

Keep going, don't revise,

keep on keep on keep on

[very-uncorrect]

Hi I am so genuinely fucking confused by this question, I've tried it multiple times and it always marks it as incorrect. The video is not help, as it doesn't explain anything

I know it's a simple question or whatever but it's worded so fucking awfully

[plaqying]

sparx maths is the no.1 reason why i wanna FUCKING SHOOT MY BRAINS OUT

[essily]

maths is an enemy, especially sparx

Sparx maths is the bane of my FUCKING existence

I fucking hate sparx maths

I hate how it's layed out, I hate how you have to get the answers right for it to register as you doing it (which is stupid as GCSEs aren't about getting all the answers right, it's about getting enough right to reach a decent mark), I hate how the question changes slightly if you get the answer wrong twice, which makes it even more of a pain to solve and I hate how my maths teacher keeps forcing this stupid fucking website on us and if I don't do all the questions and get them right in a week then I get a late homework, which has caused me to get a detention and waste my precious lunch time. She even expects us to be using it to revise in our own time and gets mad at us when we only use it to complete the mandatory homework and nothing else. Her logic is: if you don't get the answer right, watch the video even though the videos aren't that helpful and before you press the play button (doesn't automatically play) the thumnail has all the working out so watching the video is a waste of time but it doesn't register on her side. And if you don't get the answer right 4 times then you're expected to message her on microsoft teams with a screenshot and your working, but why would I bother wasting my time like that knowing she's not going to help.

And then the questions, oh the questions! They've prepously made all the questions images so you can't copy and paste the text into google and look it up on gauth maths (even though you could just type it out word for word, which I've done before) and some of these questions are just so stupid it's irratating.

a stationery shop orders a batch of pens from a factory. the factory could make the batch of pens in 20 days using 12 machines. due to a fault, only 8 machines were used for the first 9 days. all 12 machines were used from day 10 onwards. work out the total number of days taken to make the batch of pens.

I couldn't wrap my head around it so I typed this into chat gpt to get help. It's an AI, it's built on maths in it's code, surely it could figure it out. And yes, it is cheating but I don't fucking care anymore. It's actually quite helpful as it went through step by step on how to complete it, which was helpful, and then gave me the answer. I put it in. Marked it as wrong. I rounded it from 17.33 to 18 as I figured it must register the decimal as a day. Nope. Now the question's changed.

If anyone from school sees this then I'm fucked, but just in case they do:

maths teacher that I won't name: if a website is good then people will willingly use it regardless of if there's mandatory homework. If it sucks and it's mandatory then you end up with people like me cheating just to do the bare minimum and get it out of the way so I don't have to look at it for the rest of the week. Like how people willingly started to use cars after they realised they were a lot better then horses and carriges. I don't care if I get into trouble for cheating, I just want to not get a detention (which I know I will because no matter my troubles there's always questions that get marked wrong no matter what). If a student is thinking about learning to hack just to shut down the sparx maths servers then I think it's time to switch to a better resource cause nobody likes it.
