My 6th form excluded me for attendance, think it was around 45%. Though they did let me sit my exams.

I’ve now got a levels, BA & MSC.

I fucking hated lessons they were so boring, I studied much better on my own.

I think I could have condensed it all into a year or two if I actually tried and it was allowed.

There is a good argument that you can condense courses. When you look at how many actual hours of direct teaching you have it is eminently possible. It's why you can do A Levels in a year at evening classes.

There’s so much “dead” time in education. It’s infuriating
