You can leave school at year 10, my parents pulled me out as soon as i finished year 10 and gave me a choice between 2 jobs, the excuse i was given was that school was to much of a long drive, a nice excuse considering work is a longer drive, and we have to get up earlier.

It makes me feel real stupid that i couldnt even get through highscool and something that will always weigh me down, the year after they changed it to you must complete year 11.
