There are a lot of disadvantages of staying at school, you are still treated like a kid, the teachers know your history and you don’t get other life experience.
I stayed in the 6-form department because it was an easy choice to do and didn’t seem as frightening as going to college.
I soon understood that people who had gone to college were doing more interesting things, generally had better choice of subjects and after school activities, and were treated as grown-ups.
In the end I left school and entered the college.
I never really enjoyed school, but college was quite different.
The sixth-form college provides an excellent atmosphere and good preparation for university.
I took it seriously and worked harder.
