Dropping out of year 11

[Fonejacker]

Ok well i dunno if this is the right forum...

I decided that im going to leave school and try and get a collage placement with no GCSE's and hopefully take my GCSE's in collage. Do you think it's a good move? The school that im at now is a PRU - Pupil Refural Unit. meaning i have been kicked out of all my schools...

Alot of the kids from the school are disturbing and not wanting to learn so they distract me from work. My mums going for a meeting tomrrow, hopefully i will get a collage placement or a job.

As i said, do you think this is a wise choice?

[clarissa !!]

my sister dropped out of school in year 9 & dropped out of college aswell.

if you think that your gonna actually go to college & do what you need to do, go for it. cause PRUs are really crap.

No, go to school get the GCSEs then go to college.

PRUs are seriously pointless, they tried to put me in one, lol@croydoncouncill.

It's going to be hard getting a good one with no GCSEs...

it can only be your fault, i assume. I suggest you explain this in your meeting or make sure your Mother does otherwise. They could arrange special tutorials, and help you etc. If not go to college and try your best, but remember you normally just pick a course, not a entended period for people who failed in other schools, dislike the behavioural school they were dumped in, and now want their chance at life. Learn from mistakes.

I admire your truthfulness and that you're facing up to your problems. Just try your best now, see what happens.

i think it needs to be thought about some more. look at it from the colleges perspective, who would they rather have on a placement? someone who got good grades at school or to put it bluntly, a drop out?

To be honest GCSE's mean nothing to me at the minuite I've done all my course work for science and was going to be doing my art soon

You can't start college this year as it's already started, so you'd be wasting a lot of your time if you go ahead with this. I know PRUs are pretty crap places to have to get your schooling from, but it's better to get mediocre grades than none at all. As for your art, quite a lot of colleges (if they're any good) will want a certain minimum amount of GCSE grades for potential art students, as it's seen as a "higher" subject, as opposed to say, travel and tourism, which is what all the dropouts do at my college.

if people are distracting you from doing you're work and you find it difficult, i would.

but like don't drop out until you've definately got a place, or it could become a bigger problem..

but good luck phil!!

[Fonejacker]

they might not mean nothing to you, but for most college courses you need %A-C grade. And in most colleges, youll need a GCSE in art to do any art forms.

i think that you should be willing to take responsibility for your actions and gd4u if youre trying to do something with your life!
