    School

    Do you lot (who have moved on past Year 11 that is) miss school? Most people say once you leave you will miss being there, the people, etc. But I am glad to be honest. All the decent people who I actually like still go to my sixth form and I get on absolutely fantastic with everyone, and I'm really happy with it.

    All the idiots who made my life hell, have gone elsewhere thankfully. Also the learning atmosphere, and the way you get treated is just fantastic. Such a leap in maturity over such a small period of time.

    What are your views, etc?

    I wish I hadn't gone to 6th form college, to be honest. Or perhaps maybe I wish I'd gone to a different one than I did.

    I enjoyed school.. it was one of those times where I can say I had some serious fun everyday. No worries, no regrets. I suppose I liked the method of teaching that comes with schools - as long as a teacher isn't a retard, you will learn and if you're not a retard, you'll succeed.

    Despite not having any A Levels or other Higher education qualifications other than my GCSEs, I'm currently doing a degree that I am thoroughly enjoying (almost) every minute of. I just wish that I'd gone to work for two years instead of wasting at college.

    iv just recently moved to year 12, and im with you, all the idiots in year 11 who annoyed you and didnt let you work, have nearly all gone, and as you said, because students who are there want to learn, you get treated by the teachers much better, as you treat them. It really is much better, and i actually quite enjoy some of my classes :O

    i'm in 2nd yr of college, and as soon as i started college, i realised how much i wished i was back at school. i got one with everyone in my year, plus it was all sooooo easy compared to college. i really do wish i was back there.

    6th form is very hard, but i personally like it alot more, i ACTUALLY LEARN NOW, which is novle, you dont get idiots annoying you taking the piss ( as much at least ) and you get treated like a person rather than some brain dead freak, which is always plesent...... Ah, the old school house, underfunded for years and falling to bits, nice place

    Well for me school was alright. Good because the teaching method suited me very well indeed and i left with a fantastic set of results.

    School was bad because of a few aholes who seemed to think they were gona get away with bullying me.

    College is fantastic socially. I have met so many new people and iv changed so much since leaving school- for the better i might add however i pritty much failed my AS levels in computer science by one point which was gutting

    i hates school.. teh first few weeks of my as levels were ok, but buisness studies = sleep time. english gcse retake was rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe aswell, just like year 11. also did maths, and got throw off, our teacher was crap (she knew maths well, but just a rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe teacher, and never explained anything), about 3/4 of the class got kicked off the course in that day. ICT was rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe. geography was also rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe.

    college is ok, but everything is reports! i have 5 overdue already! i hate writing/typing where i have to think what to say, i know all the stuff, but this work is hell... practical lessons are fun though

    In in year 13/upper sixth now, and its good really. Got far too much work though. Will end up with 4 A2s, and 3 other ASs...Pretty much no frees...lol ah well.
    Yep sixthform is good. I continued at my same school, but the teachers and things change quite a lot.
    More fun actially, and you are doing the subjects you want to with people who also want to do them so its good.
