Whats everyone taking.....

How would you youngsters feel about having to stay in some form of education until you are 18 if Labour policy is succesfully introduced?

Because you are all super clever YF fans, am I right in thinking that this might not have particularly large impact on many of you folks, anyway?HarryHotspur2008-01-30 14:26:42

Wouldn't worry me. I'm staying til 18 anyway.

How will that work with all the kids that finish school at 17. It's about half of them...

If not going to tertiary, further education courses anyway, possibly that their employers offer training opportunities.

Video of HCs speech on TV3 NEWs website, but not until at least 10 mins in until details revealed.

That's kinda stupid. Gap years illegal and stuff?

I can understand making it until the end of 7th form (or equivalent).

I'm sure gap years post Year 13 will be fine.

Isn't it common policy now across both major parties after Key trumped Clarke with his announcement?

2 years national service should sort the scallywags out - help resolve the massive under-resourcing the armed forces face presently as well.

Indeed... Glue enough of them together, you can make a tank.

I hear this year Hutt Valley High will be offering some new 'full insertion' oops I mean full immersion language courses.

What the f**k is 'year 12'?

After Year 11.

AAAAAAAAAARGH!

 t hink I figured it out.

I agree Kiwi Pie, it's an american thing thats been allowed to sink in. When I was at College, it was 3rd form - 7th form and long may it rule!

no americans say "grade" doofus.

I have been told sir

My degree and post grad stuff were in science. Great fun. Go on you budding scientists

I've heard that before - I think it's a good idea. You do either 1 years national service or 2 years community service
