Idiotic.

Force people who don't want to be there to be stuck in education for another 2 years. This means the teachers having to hold them there for another 2 years and spend the time getting them to turn up and work rather than teaching the ones that actually want to be there.

The school leaving age at the moment is already too high. At the age of 14 you can tell who are wasting their time by staying in school. I feel sorry for the people who are going to be stuck with the same no-hopers for another 2 years thanks to this.

For me college is a breath of fresh air, there is no need for discipline, if someone doesn't want to be in the lesson, they don't have to stay, if a teacher wants someone out of the lesson, they kick them out. You are left with the people who want to do the work doing the work and the teachers can concentrate on their job - education not babysitting.
