Rubrica Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 @Myrddin---Just curious, but after reading your profile, you're 16 and in college? :shock: Is that sarcasm? Or is that how education works in England? The school leaving age in the UK is 16 but most people stay on until 18. @Myrddin---Just curious, but after reading your profile, you're 16 and in college? :shock: Is that sarcasm? Or is that how education works in England? It used to be how it worked, although recently the law has been changed to make it that you leave school when you're 18, not 16. Yes but that law hasn't come into force yet. Ah, I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that law hasn't come into force yet. If you want to study into 6th form, you need 5 GCSE A to C-'s, and then there's also personal preference aswell. I wouldn't say most people stufy on to 18, though probably as a random estimate half the school population go onto sixth form or some other kind of teaching, may that be college or university. And, for once, sabrown got something to do with law right :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Although the law is a bit out of line considering the fact that most of the adult privilages in the UK come at 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that how education works in England? The school leaving age in the UK is 16 but most people stay on until 18. Hmmm...that's interesting. It sounds so interesting (to me anyway) to say "I'm in college" at 16. Of course, some could say I could fit those shoes, but sadly I'm far from perfection. AP classes turn my brain to mush, because our teacher doesn't teach; we're left to read 15 pages a night and get quizzed the next day. If it's an interesting read, I learn. If it's not, I just fall asleep halfway I get lots of A's, but I suffer earning them. ie. I have no social life to speak of yet Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew D Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Although the law is a bit out of line considering the fact that most of the adult privilages in the UK come at 16. How is it out of line? I mean, regardless of laws, people break them, especially age related ones, so that's why the government have put some of the age restrictions down to 16. Also, true or false, can a 13 year old drink alcohol legally in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
