Who has the best deal? Earlier education or an extra year of free time?

Wait until you finish school and then report back to me about how much of this 'free time' you have on your hands.

Also.. Deviants or Help With Life might be a better forum for this unless you'd like to rephrase your post to include some kind of political discussion.

Apparently I'm more educated than an American of the same age. Is this something worthy of any comment at all?

And the schooling ends at the same year relatively, meaning Brits will end their whole education career with an extra year under their belts. If you want a particular question on it, would it improve the general worldwide impression of American stupidity if they all had more education?

So when are you coming over to the US to make money?

Considering A levels are now so common, only University graduates have anything to shout about, an extra year is neither here nor their. EMA will fund some people who want those A levels, but also those who don't and will disrupt those who do. But you'll save money on people being on the dole. In short, its neither here nor their.

At least Browns got some sense, he says if you can secure an apprenticeship you can bugger off without having to do that extra year. Which is good, else it'd have been Thatchers 'we don't need dentists' all over again.

No. What would fix this impression is if people such as yourself who expound such invalid views started to change your perspective on the issue. On the whole, the median American is for the most part, just as intelligent as your average Brit or anyone else from the developed Western nations. Americans get burdened with this image of stupidity, not because of their education system but because of those who perpetuate such an image. And as far as I am concerned, that's a little unfair. Wouldn't you agree?

I didn't say I believed the stereotype. I was just referring to it as a discussion point, as you asked.

When I'm 4 to 5, obviously. To hell with a year's head start.

I'm currently with a very diverse group of people selecting A levels. I know people who would rather scrap academia and instead do minimum wage jobs or something similar, and I am going to be very glad to see them go. I pity the years who will have to hold on to them for another two years. So, though I totally understand it will be neither here nor there as far as taxes are concerned, from the user's end having it so that even the worst of the disruptives will have to sit through it is a bad thing. Probably good politically (I shan't weigh up the individual pros and cons myself), but it's not going to actually improve our situation on the recieving end of this.

I haven't heard of Brown's apprenticeship idea, but it sounds fairly sane.

Ok. I finished school and have so much free time I don't know what to do with it.
