I think school is fab,especially upper sixth. Its not like we are under any real pressure, things will be far harder at uni- with all the nasty practical things like cooking,money and washing. At least at school I know whats what.
Im going for supper now.

School is pretty fantastic if you think about it. Its safe and fun and fairly easy. 6th form is harder but you can pretty much get away with anything. I do like the social side of school but Im leaving. Right in the middle of my A levels :redface:

Thinking about it, both college and school is/was a doss, especially school, you got away with anything, no work whatsoever etc College is slightly harder, a bit more work, but they're both still amazing. :smile:

Boring, but the fact you have no responsbility, you can do what you want, is good.

I really like my subjects and most of my teachers, I just hate my school. It is run like a business thinking only of its A level and GCSE pass rate, caring nothing for individual students. Now we have Ofsted coming up, they have suddenly pretended to care a little more..

Yeh, exactly the same with me. I guess thats part of the reason why im leaving early and not finishing A levels. Our school is in a bit of a state and only thinks about making money and having good pass rates. Unfortunately though I think our school got one of the lowest percentage rates of passes for gcse's last year so they arent really suceeding.

is there not another school you could transfer to in your area, or not worth sticking it out at yours? It seems a shame to have to quit. Our school appears reasonable from the outside reputation, its just when you get it close the cracks appear. To be fair, they have a serious funding problem but honestly, a bunch of illiterate 6 year olds could do better

My experience has been completely different.

Up to Year 10, teachers are nasty, kids pick on you and you get loads of homework.

Year 11 and up - believe it or not, we get much less homework. Plus the teachers act like they're your mates and the bullies have matured or dropped out.

I hated school and treated each day with caution. People used to get beaten up randomly in the corridors, things were always thrown around, lights would flicker on and off, the cold winter mornings made life hell and most teachers couldn't control the class. At break, gangs would randomly approach people and ask for fights. School was hell. I didn't even know what a GCSE was until the final few weeks.

The GCSE retakes and A-level years were good. :smile:
