"All these year 11 moving up they gonna get a shock" I'm pretty sure that's what the sixth formers think at my school. They are so tall they have to duck under doorways they be looking down at us like 👀
@@habiba6039 had its ups and downs. I was there to get my education and that was amazing. My social life was poor and I lost all my friends though so I hated that side of things but that’s just my personal experience most people love the freedom and the socialising! Good luck :)
Some schools don’t treat the sixth formers as adults as they are still students at school. My argument for schools not treating sixth formers like adults, unlike students at college, is the rights as a sixth former depends on the school policy. This makes it not really a right at all. The schools don’t really treat the students like adults.
So we have elementary/grade school just called different things depending on where in the US. Those usually go from K-5th grade (5/6ish to 10/11ish y.o.) then middle school/junior high this is usually 6-8th grade (11/12ish to 13/14ish y.o.). Again that can vary slightly with 6th grade sometimes part of elementary. Then highschool grades 9-12th. (14/15ish to 17/18ish y.o.)
@@randamae84 I go to school in england and we have basically the same thing! except after age 16 you can choose if you'd like to go to sixth form or a college (to do an A level) or an apprenticeship/start work
This is so acurrate, i remember sixth formers doing that to me when i was in year 10 and i just wanted to find a teacher, now i'm in year 12 and doing the same to yr 11 and 10
"It first came in the 1900s before numbered year groups were the main form of reference for each age group. It was called the “sixth” form because all of the students aged below what we now call year 12 and 13 there were grouped into five other sets of “forms”, so A-level students were the sixth of these."
For me I am still 13 but I can go into the sixth form block, not whenever I want, but I can go in there after skl. During lesson times, they only allow me when I am with a sixth former. But before that, every time after skl my brother would sneak me in the sixth form block with his friends. But only to get caught by the sixth form team. Lol. But the sixth formers are really nice to me and when I go in, some of them have that stupid attitude and ask me if I am allowed. But except for that most of them are really kind to me.
Then your gonna be surrounded by Slags and trappers. Basically your fucked either way but I still chose college cuz of the independence and the fact they aren’t up your ass 24/7 like sixth form
At my school you can usually wear whatever except on business dress days which are theoretically twice a term. There's one tomorrow, but we're massively overdue
You don’t have to wear uniform in Sixth Form? I didn’t know that. (I’m from Scotland we don’t have Sixth Form here lol you just go to secondary for six years instead)
The six formers at my school did. The boys wore black plain suit, white shirt and a tie with the birds from the school's logo. The girls could wear any smart plain black and white clothing.
Sixth Form for me has been HELL. TL;DR: Autistic boy realises he doesn’t like Hollywood anymore, life is tits up for him, and so is trying to do creative writing/storytelling and entertainment on UA-cam for fun. So I live in the UK, and I did my GCSE back in COVID-19 times, as in, the rules were heavily modified to help students adjust to the exams while also surviving a pandemic. Certain things had to be cut from the exams to help us cope and do well. Also the mark scheme was pushed down to help with this. This was a bit of a life saver for me because I have autism, I find certain crap a lot harder to do, so this felt a bit like a life saver while also still drowning because I was scared shitless of the exams. Come 2022, I do my exams and I finally get to relax afterwards, a sense of freedom, and looking forward to Sixth Form to achieve my writing dreams. Also, I have a New Romantic partner at this point, so life was doing pretty well for me. *So Sixth Form begins.* And long story short, it is HELL. My main exams are in May, but holy crap, I’m not seeing the point anymore. My older sister did Sixth Form and it was so stressful that she had to drop out and go to college. Now I fully see why. For me, Y12 was hell, from start to end. I was slowly realising that this place would not be a new beginning because it felt like the same crap from High School, we aren’t even doing creative writing, so many things I just do not need for my creative writing, and there have even been times where I broke down and just cried from stress. My house life is chaos as it is, so I’m pretty stuck. During Sixth Form the stress was so bad and intense, it bled into my family life with me being more annoyed at my family members while I’m trying to clear my head, and part of me feels like it’s part of the reason why me and my then New Romantic Partner broke up. Oh, and also, I decided Hollywood wasn’t for me. Because after hearing about the writers strikes and executives and producers and shit, I decided that wasn’t the place where I wanted to do my stories. I would have to deal with changes and limitations that may be out of my control, and I just wouldn’t feel entirely happy with the final project, and that’s something I would have to deal with which is why I changed plans to doing creative writing and stories on UA-cam because then I am my own boss, people can watch them and get a clear idea of my vision, I can through in my comedy to entertain people and make people laugh and feel better, to me that’s just more awarding and it would be a hobby not a full time job. I do writing for the fun of it, not for money. I basically went into Sixth Form with high hopes, dreams, a new and happy mind set, a new partner and also a decent family life. But now with my final exams approaching in May, and how crap I’m doing, I’m basically leaving Sixth Form more stressed than I already was, completely different dreams and goals, low hopes of Sixth Form getting better, a kinda stressed and upset mindset that should hopefully get better once I leave in May, single after my relationship became tense and stressful from both our ends, and also me being annoyed at my slowly decaying family life. I am looking forward to doing UA-cam as a hobby though and I can’t wait to see if I do well and hopefully get some of these projects I’m working on made by in general meeting more creative people like myself such as animators and voice actors. They get to interact, have fun, make new friends, express ideas, and get paid while doing so, and I get to be happy knowing my work is being seen! Oh and I’ll just get a part time job for my money, UA-cam money will go to the people who helped. I know those are high dreams and I’m years away from it, but trust me, it will be more rewarding for me personally since I’ll will be putting the work in and getting my projects and ideas pitched on UA-cam as just fun videos for people to watch. Everyone wins!
It really does make no sense that we still call it that lol. Really it’s a hangover from when we’d call the years “forms” with “first form” being the first year of secondary school (age 11-12), now called year 7. Since A-levels, which you study in sixth form, are two year courses, sixth form lasts two years (“lower sixth” and “upper sixth”). They’re also called year 12 and year 13 but “sixth form” is useful to refer to both.
Yeah rather than having elementary school, middle school and high school we have primary school, Grade 1-6, then secondary school which is grade 7 to 11 and then we have sixth form which is grade 12 and 13. I guess sixth form is the equivalent of junior and senior year?
I'm australian and I am really confused cos people in the comments are saying what if the year 11's go to college. I thought if you drop out you go to tafe and if you stay you go to university???
When you finish year 11, your choices are A levels (more academic, you do 3 or 4 subjects, 5 if you're insane), BTECs (more vocational, depending on the size they might be equal to one a level or 3, and you can take them with A levels), other things like T levels I don't know much about; apprenticeships or the army. If you do A levels you'll either do them at sixth form that's part of a school (most people carry on at the same school, some people change, as I did because my secondary didn't have a sixth form) or a sixth form college, which isn't. Many sixth forms and sixth form colleges do BTECs, but for courses that aren't A levels, you usually go to a college (colleges in many cases have all sorts of courses, including part time education and adult courses) which is not at all what college means in America
After secondary school, most go to sixth form or they go to college. They are both colleges. Sixth form usually gives advanced education like “A-levels” and “BTECs” and they are only for 16-18 year olds and college is for all ages and tends to be more about ‘vocational study’ and courses leading to actual jobs
A-levels are actually way easier than GCSE's. You do 3 subjects as opposed to 10 and it's like 3 days a week instead of 5. It's also all basically memorise a textbook and than regurgitate it in exams. Getting to uni is the real shock though, way less hours but basically please read these 100000000 pages by next week, and hand in 5 essays on the same day at the end of term. So glad to have graduated and can just be done with it all.
I had not unheard of but kind of unusual high School 7th graders through 12th grade and it was .... pandemonium. Seniors didn't mess with a little kids too much it was the 9th graders that beat the shit out of the 7th graders.
It's the last 2 years of school (16-18 years old) where you choose 3 or 4 subjects (or 5 if you're utterly insane) to study in much more depth. There are also usually privileges you get when you're in sixth form. You usually don't need to wear a uniform (dress codes vary school to school from casual to office dress), you can go home early if you haven't got lessons in the afternoon and the rules are generally more relaxed on things like mobile phones and makeup

I found sixth form easier because it was more self-directed.
I'm not sure how this equates to a us school....I can feel the same sort of freshman senior vibes but anyone who wants to explain...I love these
Basically sixth form is from year 12 (age 16-17) - year 13 (age 17-18) but is usually in the same school as years 7-11
So we have elementary/grade school just called different things depending on where in the US. Those usually go from K-5th grade (5/6ish to 10/11ish y.o.) then middle school/junior high this is usually 6-8th grade (11/12ish to 13/14ish y.o.).

Tbf there were some pretty annoying year 10s hanging about in the sixth form centre today and I kind of wantee to tell them to clear off
The sixth form school at mine is also a lunch area so everyone goes there and like barely any six formers are there 😭

God I feel old now. My sixth form was completely separate from school, when education was only compulsory to 16 🤣
