Music:PINK FLOYD REMIX(Eric PRYDZ VS.Floyd). Britain’s Education Secretary recently unveiled plans for new vocational courses for teenagers who were not academic enough for A-levels. Making the school leaving age, as she put it ‘effectively 18′. Why? You don’t have to stay in school to be successful. Ask entrepreneurs Sir Richard Branson (of Virgin), Bernie Ecclestone (of Formula One), Philip Green (of BHS and Top Shop) or Sir Alan Sugar (of Amstrad), who left school at 16. Or 007-actor Pierce Brosnan, TV cook Delia Smith, and music star Alicia Keys. Even Whitbread poetry winner Don Paterson. Imprisoning kids in state-run schools until they reach 18 is a bad idea. Many will find it completely pointless and will disrupt the learning of others. Others, being cocooned too long in a protected environment, will lose the drive and energy that could make them great. Better to put the leaving age back to 16, but have a leaving exam so we could be confident that leavers actually had the basic skills they needed for living. Lots of kids who know that state education is failing them would be studying round the clock just to make sure they could get out!!!

sad situation… I am agree. I am from Perú, and I had the chance of leave from school with 15 years old, it was simply for me good marks and my early start (3 years old). But currently children start the school with 5 years old, so now is not so easy to end before 17-18

@CogitoErgoCogitoSum Sorry I meant to say the opinions of our forefathers formed the truth. With respect : )
@CogitoErgoCogitoSum I do welcome your opinion and find you to be a highly intelligent person and respect that but I have to agree to disagree that you say opinions are not truth? Then opinions of our ancestors formed our truth? Are we not to question to progress and think, ok, but I can see another side to that? Are we deemed 2nd grade students because we disagree with “the truth” as we have been told it is. What if we look at the other side of the coin? x
@CogitoErgoCogitoSum Society is not healthy to support tolerance when diversity is wrong in the first place. Believing 1+1 = 3, no matter how determined someone is, still makes them stupid and wrong. Truth is objective. Believing falsities under the pretense of diversity is absurd… blind tolerance, blind acceptance… is hurtful to societies progress.
@ronnocdlanor You and I are talking about different things now. When we are takling about objective reality, the capacity to question and think for yourself, to comprehend, is important. That is Objective truth, though, and the emphasis is placed on the students ability to reason.
But opinions are not truth. They are personal delusions. Opinions are wrong 99.9999% of the time. Doubting what is true and holding ones delusions on high is NOT a virtue.
@CogitoErgoCogitoSum Diversity is healthy and whose to say peoples opinions are wrong? Diversity is not ridiculous. Preaching tolerance to everyone else is to open their minds and reeducate. The educational system has been since 1600′s surely we need diversity or at least look at things in a different light? I say again what is the norm? a brilliant child? One who merely takes all in and reproduces it on paper and gains full marks or child who questions this and has his own mind?.
@ronnocdlanor I disagree. Diversity isnt healthy when peoples opinions are wrong. And no, I dont believe peoples opinions are right. For the most part they are all wrong. Diversity is ridiculous notion. People would like to believe it because it makes them feel better about themselves… after all, what better way to not be faced with a challenge yourself than by preaching tolerance to everyone else.
I got to say love your spirit and your positivity but with respect you really must release some of that ego and listen to other opinions to what your opinion is, after all a one sided view isn’t healthy and we need diversity rather than uniformity in life.
There are plenty of kids who are not deluded, egocentric, arrogant and just need a bit of understanding and an education system that understands the needs for these kids so that these kids can grow and learn and are allowed to be individual and as special as they can be.
I said that educational system was started in the 1600′s and hasn’t been updated since. Kids that are right sided brain thinkers who are not accademic but who are thinkers, creative, artistic need a chance as much as the left brained thinkers who are mainly accademic thinkers. The bright kids are the ones who take in and repeat what they have been told and relay this on paper. Kids who question, ask and rebel are classed as the dumb ones,! The education system needs to be updated.
So youre saying that society of the 1600′s value education more than we do? Yeah, retarded. You have to already be stupid to want to stay stupid. And society has an ethical obligation to correct that. Getting educated never hurt anyone. How have a ridiculous mentality that only proves my points.
The intelligent ones are the who who study and photocopy the answers in their minds and write it down on paper and thus get classed as “intelligent”, those who say I don’t agree, question, and have ideas are graded with low marks. The education system came out in the 1600s and is yet to be updated. I don’t agree with scholing until 18,it should be a choice not an order : )
What a way to go, not. : )
Raising the age to 18 will only turn the UK’s schools into what the USA’s have been for decades, a free babysitting service with little or no actual education.
The people who succeed in life, professionally, without a high school diploma, such as the ones you listed, are in the few and rare minorities. They arent rich and successful so much as they are “famous” and successful, which is very different… they got picked up for their looks, charm and particularly EXCEPTIONAL skills… not because they sat around home dreaming.
Any kid who thinks they will be in that minority is deluded, egocentric, arrogant… very much typical of any high school kid
Furthermore, the only people who support this video are likely in high school… so your supporting population is highly biased and poorly educated as is.
The problem though is that kids who leave school, ditch out, etc, end up sitting at home playing video games and using drugs. They have no drive to succeed at a school, they have no drive to succeed anywhere. Kids like that wont try at anything unless obligated to.
Secondly, kids that age dont know the value of an education, and would inevitably regret leaving later in life. I see kids getting their GED’s and Associates all the time, hoping to make up for lost time and opportunity.
every unfair to the kids who arent at all like that
@Eidelmania God forbid people walk around or *shudder* loiter!
That’s an awful thing to say, like, let’s keep all muslims in their own country, so they don’t blow us up. It’s so obtuse. It’s disgusting.
I think all kids should stay in school until 21 now, just to keep them from loitering and off the streets.
i think school till 18 is good… im 17now and i could have had that extra time lol… u should be able to leave if you want like college tho :s
