My ds is asking to move schools for 6th form, to one 32 miles away. Aibu to say it’s too far for a daily commute, six days a week? What’s the maximum your dc travel daily?

Coconut children in England do have to be in full time education until they’re 18 now

No, they really don't, @bookmum08 has it correct

It's too far. That's not 45 mins that's well over an hour and a half each way door. Commuting that sort of distance is exhausting and A levels are full on. The commute time would also take up almost all the non studying time. I would say no.

@coconuttelegraph no I mean it should not a big deal for her and hundreds of other children where I live.
What does “ not be happy with even mean” it’s very normal to travel for a decent school.
