I know, it's gone so fast. I was just saying to my dad's cousin that it only seems like yesterday that it was April. I can't believe it's so close to christmas either, I was in the supermarket with my mum yesterday and the woman at the delicatessen said how many days it was until christmas. My mum didn't much like the reminder

When I was a kid I used to love seeing all the christmas stuff out in the shops, it always made me feel happy, Isn't it amazing what things you remember from your childhood?

I dont even know how thats gonna work?

They're putting it up for 18 for those a few years younger than that lot. Somehow putting it up to 18 gradually is supposed to minimise the number that rebel against the new law, as loads did when it was first put up to 16, so I read.

Abbie - the kids can go to college when they've done there GCSE's if they like, they just have to stay in some form of education until they are 17. Some/all might not even do GCSE's; there's a new type of diploma going in.

well i think it wil do the kids good to stay longer at school

**di marco** · 04-09-2008, 14:23

i think in a way it will be good, but i think it will only work if every area brings in different courses/qualifications people can do, i dont think it will work if some areas force the kids to do gcses and then alevels etc

It was all much simplier when I was at school.

**di marco** · 04-09-2008, 17:11

tbh i dont really think it was simpler when i was at school (which i know wasnt that long ago!) with just being allowed to do gcses etc. i think if it is organised properly and everyone gets the choice of doing gcses/diplomas etc and can choose what sort of qualifications they can do then itll be better than when i was at school cos you will have more of a choice and do exactly the sort of things you want to do
