No, a student is someone over the school leaving age who is being

Well I know its trendy and inclusive to call everyone who does some tin pot
part
time course on yoghurt knitting a student but the generally accepted
definition is
someone who goes to *higher* education. Not get-a-clue education for ****wits
who
had just about learnt to write their name when they left school.

What a big chip you have on your shoulder!

Round here, most of the 6th Form Colleges get better A-Level results
than the schools.

I'd call a kid who goes to 6th form college a pupil, not a student. Since
when has A levels been higher education?
