A very off-topic answer directly contravening Vox's post but I had already typed it up so can I plz just post it?
I think Aaron has a good point - There are many reasons for taking Further over methods, besides it being a bludge subject.
Indeed, the better question is, why are people even taking methods? If Methods is not a pre-req for courses, are you just taking methods for the bragging rights? What would drive you to take a subject that even if it scales up, could still be detrimental to your Atar?
I agree with what you are saying except this: 'The only further students that will be struggling is those who belittle further and hardly putting any work.' The stereotype of Further being an comparatively easy subject wouldn't exist if there was some truth to it.
Assuming you meant
wasn't some truth to it, but anyway...
I personally think that this statement is 98% correct...
The only further students that will be struggling are those who belittle further or those who hardly put in any workI know at my school that people with the mathematical ability to Ace methods were low scoring in Further, just for want of effort. Then again, there were people that, whilst not having major levels of intellect, could have certainly 40'd the subject if they put the effort in. Basically, that holds true for every subject - you can learn anything with effort (even bloody sample proportions)
Anyway, it's the thousands of VCE students that you'll have to convince of this, not me. Good luck
