so aparently as soon as you turn 16 you can leave school, i plan to stay in for as long as i can but there are already a lot of people filling in these forms to leave when they turn 16. well, good luck to them in life as i don’t think leaving school super early will give you good odds

i asked someone who’s planning to leave at 16 about it and he said “i don’t want highers i want to be a bricklayer” (highers are equivalent to english a-levels, i’ll be getting them in 2025)

Also, in the US you can leave after 8th grade (13-14 years old) if your parents allow you to.

interesting

isn't that different from state to state?

Yeah. It also varies based on school districts. My school district requires K-12 for everyone, however some other ones in my state don't. Kinda weird if you ask me
