British education system among the worst in the world

 As most of you should already know, the British have been heavily criticized for their education system, and how they are "more like prison facilities" than "learning institutions".

Strictest rules in the world and unlike America, students have absolutely no freedom of assembly and are forced to be branded like cattle by wearing school uniforms. Uniforms have been proven to have more negative effects on schools and on human behavior than positive. They also don't have high schools in England, they have little 11 and 12 year olds mixed up with teenagers, they don't separated 13-18 from the kids, like they do in America. Reasons (aside from the more obvious ones) that 11 and 12 year olds don't belong near teenagers:
1. Two entirely different maturity levels.

2. The teens have hit puberty and the kids have not.

3. That must wreak havok on dating out there, and especially on sex.

4. 11 and 12 year olds shouldn't be exposed to all the drug dealings and sex that goes on in high school.

5. If one were to get in a fight with the little kids, and they did not know they were little kids (though it's pretty obvious to spot the 12 year olds, since they stand out for being complete dumbasses), they could seriously injure or possibly even kill them, since they are such fragile creatures, they could also get in some real serious trouble for insulting a non-teen child and possibly serve time. 

Ummm i had to wear a uniform so ya.

I had to wear uniforms to school from kindergarten to high school, it wasn't too bad. How are the British schools like prison systems? I bet the kids end up knowing a lot more than they do over here. The public school system in America is fucked, especially in the inner city. 

That's unpossible!

No wonder they think they know everything. Bazing. 
Kidding, kidding, calm down. I know you're on edge from your awful education system and all.

Actually, the reason schools have uniforms is not for the sake of 'branding', but to remove class distinctions from the school body so people won't be judged on that basis. Crazy talk, right? Sounds almost democratic to me.

I'm not therapist or anything but I would think keeping the very young and the much older in such close proximity like that would keep them both more in line. I'd be less inclined to make a blue joke with kids around, and as a kid I'd be less inclined to pee on someone's shoes with big kids around.

Yeah, but do you learn anything? When I was in high school here in the US I knew kids who were graduating that couldn't read. 
There are a lot bigger things to complain about than having to wear uniforms.

Also they are seperated. 
You have Primary and Secondary schools. Primary for up to about age 11 and then Secondary for 11-16. After that there are Sixth forms for 17-18 year olds.

None of what you say is true. I haven't seen criticism of the British school system anywhere (recently), and schools with all ages from 6 to 18 don't exist, they're separate. 
 
Speaking as a person who has experienced it, I think it's one of the better ones actually. Sure, it can be strict, but thank your lucky stars there's no corporal punishment like other countries out there.

I know OP has no kind of source or evidence or anything besides probably his own experience as a victim to a gang of bullies to back any of this up, but I'm really not surprised. Only thing I feel like I explicitly learned while I was there is that if you make friends with the teachers, they will let you get away with all kinds of shit.

Sucks, doesn't it?

  Good for you. What does it feel like knowing that teens in the free world (America) can wear whatever they want (within reason of the school dress code)?  "

My school was a very basic state school, but it was fucking amazing.  Uniforms are good for the simple fact that some parents cant afford to keep up with the lastest fashion.  Who wants to be the kid that is mocked for his shitty £20 jeans when, with uniforms, there is a level playing field.  
 
The lack of seperation works towards a greater understanding of people both older and younger as you progress through education and gives younger children a chance to work with their peers to prepare them for being that age themselves.  There has to be a level of strictness with children or they will just not focus and get on with learning.  If I wasn't pushed and I wasn't disciplined at school then I would have grown up to be a fucking nightmare and probably ended up on Jeremy Kyle.
 
If it wasnt for the UK education system I probably wouldn't have gotten my Masters in Business.
 
You have put no argument forward for your statement so its practically worthless.

clearly the education system that taught you that is worse than England because that's all utter bollocks

Another shining example of the American education system released onto the internet i see. 
 
Oh well moving on.

I had a fucking terrible time at Primary and Secondary school. I think it made be a better, tougher person at the end of it though. Still, I would never send my future kids to a school in England.

" @saturnvengeance: I'd also like to point out that Britain is also part of the free world. "

Social authoritarianism, maybe. Or whatever Euros call socialism now. Also that's great, cus putting a uniform on someone who never takes showers or washes the uniform totally covers the fact that they're poor. That's the kind of rock solid logic one would expect from a nanny state out of control. "

As someone who had a father in the forces, and has lived in and attended schools in pretty much every part of the world except for america, i can guarantee the british education system is NOT the worst by far. 
 
You want crazy education system? (and to be fair this is purely just my opinion so sorry if this offends anyone) get yourself over to Ireland! Maybe it seemed crazier because as a british forces kid in Ireland back then life was a bit intense, but the schooling was amongst the most strict and batshit insane i've ever been part of!

They are all extremely poor? I thought they were a first world country, but according to you, they are like Ethiopia or something. Grow the fuck up. "
