CMV: I think that people who are in favour of 4th/6th form being a mandatory year should just have had a good experience with them.

I (15M) am currently in my second year of 6th form, and I love it. It's a great time to think about what I want to do, make new friends and I feel like I'm getting a great education, but I have noticed that many of the people I know are in favour of making it compulsory.<br><br>I've seen this as an argument from many people on Chambers, and in my history class. It's often argued that it gives people a better idea of what to do with their future, and it's also seen as a good way to help people learn new things. But I feel like this is mostly from people who have had a good time in these years.<br><br>I know that many people hate college/university, and they didn't have a good experience. But they seem to argue that it should be mandatory anyway. I think this is mostly from a privileged viewpoint, because it's from people who have had a good experience. They say they wish they could go back, or that they wish they didn't have to do it, and I think this is unfair.<br><br>If you think it should be mandatory, I'd love to hear your reasoning.
