    There's more than 3 yes. I think someone posted a thread a few months ago that said scientists had narrowed intelligence down to 7 types or something?

    Ah...here it is: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=685230

    (9 types of intelligence, my bad).

    You can't define intelligence. It's an abstract concept. That's the problem.

    Bashin' out some Sociology keywords there. We were doing that just a couple of weeks ago

    Looks like rubbish to me. You can't put the human mind into categories lol

    Thanks for the info guys. I do think it's quite a daft idea - there's nothing wrong with the current system at all. Imo, Education serves to bring up the next generation of workers and (while it is highly unfair in terms of the class system, e.g, higher classes having an advantage), it does sort people according to their ability at the end of the day (meritocracy!!) I think the system right now is the best it's been; as Robbie said, some people need to leave school at 16 in order to work. I do feel you're still rather "immature" (for lack of a better word) at 16, but it really is the best for some people who dislike school, or attempt to disrupt it's system. Keeping people until they're 18 is a large portion of their life, in education... when in actual fact, very few people actually carry on to HE.

    Interesting stuff.

    I for one don't want a degree. Labour had this crazy idea there would be all these high paying job for British workers, and that they could import people to do all the crap jobs from eastern Europe.

    I know plenty of people too thick to do A-levels, it's such a waste. Let them do apprenticeships or work for peanuts, someone has to do it and we just complain if they're not British.
    One for the road. :rolleyes:

    College or Sixth form.

    And no, I'm not sure the exact figures but quite a lot of people leave education completely at 16 and get a job or apprenticeship. At a guess I'd say between 60-70% go on to college/sixth form.

    The debate on the education system between Chippiewall/Inseriousity - the grammar schools system (based on intelligence) of which we abolished was the best system for social mobility which allowed the children of the poorest (the lower classes) to attend good schools. The comprehensive system which we have now is based on class where the wealthy either buy their way into the catchment area of a good school or simply go private.. meanwhile the children of the poorest are forced to attend terrible schools.

    The whole concept of education is based on intelligence, schools are there for education - not equality. Infact its telling that, when the Berlin wall came down one of the first things the parents of East Germany did was bring back the grammar school system and scrap the comprehensive system which had been imposed by the socialists.
