Fletch Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Right As a very bored teenage school goer, I am very cheesed off with school. I HATE school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I came up with this ingenious idea of starting school at the age of 9 and doing Maths sciences IT RE English writing and reading (no speaking though reason coming), geography history PE PSHE (Personal Social Health Ed) Drugs ect DT French and German for the first two years until you were 11 get graded in those subjects then choose what they want to take for their GCSE's or SATS. They get to choose whether they do 4 or 6 lessons of science a week (still doing Biology, Physics and Chemistry) French or German History or Geography PE as a GCSE Which DT to do If you want to do say French and German you will have to sacrifice another choice (not do PE) As compulsory you will have to do English reading writing and speaking IT PSHE] Core PE At the age of 13 Kids would do exams (GCSE's) and if they do not pass them they will be held back a year (at the age of 16 you would not be held back any longer and you will go away with how ever many GCSE's you have passed) After school at the age of 13 you will have the choice to either go to "upper school" or take a year out and at the age of 14 go and work at a Pre arranged job- suited to your abilities as you have passed your GCSE's but you will get normal school holidays In upper School (13 or 14 - 17) you will learn A level sort of things. And you will again have to do the compulsory subjects but you get to concentrate on 5 main other subjects and do them at a higher level. At the end of upper school you will take a gap year to again a job, more of your choice this time though. Then you will if you chose to go to university and do the normal Degree And then you leave and go into the real world What do you think?? I came up with this idea after not much thinking so if anyone has any suggestions on how to maybe improve it please say something I'm awaiting Phan's post with anticipation!! Oh yes the reason for not doing Speaking at the age of 9 is because most words we learn we learn between the ages of 0 and 9 because we have only really just found out how to talk so we talk constantly Fletch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Not long left now though only these 2 years and then the 2 for A levels then the 3/4 for uni. They are changing some courses for the lower than average kids in school to NVQ's in which they go out into the workplace to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketta Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Oh, and don't forget post grad vocational qualifications, the ream of certificates youi need to change career when you keep getting made redundant and the night school courses you'll need to do to keep your d***ed job in the first place.

Phanerothyme Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 the most important thing you learn at school, if you are lucky, is how to learn, and teach yourself. everything else is just jumping through hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alert_bri Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 the most important thing you learn at school, if you are lucky, is how to learn, and teach yourself. You learned that at school !!?!? You're luckier than I thought I only really began to learn once I'd got over the school experience... Find something you're interested in and study it - like back2basics with his physics just don't ever stop learning for yourself... the more you learn the more you earn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dave Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I've always preferred learning for its own sake. If I have to study to advance my career it just feels like unpaid work and I just switch off. Anyone have a similar problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBouncer Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 You'll miss school when you leave Fletch. I did and still do. And my school is no longer standing, so I cant even go back for a look round! Trust me, school years are the best years of your life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
