Are there places where one can do the Leaving Cert course in an adult environment?

    After realising I'm sick of wasting my life, I've re-enrolled in my local secondary school. But as the date draws closer, I'm having cold feet.

    Is there educational centres where people are mature (preferably adults), the teachers can control the classes and everyone basically shuts the hell up during lessons?

    Is there such a utopia?

    I would also like the above + hot chicks :D Unfortunately, this is no such place unless you have a family that can afford to shell out top dollar.

    You're just assuming they'll be mature because the places are full of adults. YouthReach is crammed with the dregs of society, man. Unless the lad can afford to pay for somewhere, the place he describes doesn't exist.

    Are you speaking from experience?

    Many VECs run exclusively adult LC courses.

    Contact Clare VEC here: http://www.clarevec.ie/index.cfm/area/information/page/adulteducation/

    YouthReach is a different thing altogether. It is for early school leavers, usually abiout 16/17. Not sure how it got dragged in.
    I smell a troll.
