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.
Then you are out of step with much of society. Like the NUS, who sign up
6th-formers these days.
The NUS are and always have been a joke. Only the people running it who all
seem to believe they're a future prime minister in waiting don't realise that.
If I hadn't spent a "gappy kind of year" doing my Cambridge scholarship
exams, I could easily have gone to university aged 17 and a quarter.
I took a gap year and got a job to earn money to go to university. Unlike the
trustafarians who bum around foreign climbs with daddies gold card patronising
the locals.
