School is the biggest crock of **** ever...

I left after 6th form, worked for a few weeks at my dads work, taught myself how to build computers by building my own...

I failed school cert, and sixth form cert, and after doing a short certificate course at a community center, I gained a scholarship into a Diploma in IT at AUT....

pffft.. school...

Why learn math when a computer can do it for you... The mind should be used for what it does best - imagining, dreaming, etc.

and as for algebra - don't get me started...

Correct. School can be quite damaging. Some people have to stay to get into uni, but in general 7th / year 13 can be the biggest waste of time!

Any fool can assemble a computer. Getting it going when it won't is another thing however. Then there's the next level - designing and building the actual components.
And I can see you failed English - what is

377003 2005-07-31 22:38:00 Hi Jimbo. I see that your thread has been hijacked. Getting back to your point. Go for it. I did three years as a short-term regular in the British Army fifty years ago. Loved every minute of it - well almost every minute. Then settled down in to normal civilian life. Never regretted it. :cool: Scouse (83)
377004 2005-08-01 07:08:00 Say I didn't do 7th form... can I come back and do it whem I'm 21? Maybe not, because I don't see any 21 year olds at my school. JimboJones (1680)

why bother. what is 7th going to give you that you already don't/won't have.

377006 2005-08-01 08:07:00 Jim you would probably bypass highschool and go straight to uni or polytech. netchicken (4843)
377007 2005-08-01 08:15:00 I'd suggest you stay around. Really, 7th form isn't designed to make you much more smarter; but it is meant to make you more mature. Also commented by many people is the fact that some don't really establish life-long friends till that very last year. Doesn't work for everybody, but certainly some I'm sure. Have fun, enjoy it!

Besides, what harm will one more year at school do?
