Just because it's privatised doesn't mean it'd be unregulated.

It depends. If they did this alongside some kind of scheme that concentrated on increasing the amount of vocational training (apprenticeships included) then this could potentially work. Speaking from experience though, school just isn't for some teenagers. The way of life there doesn't suit their learning and they don't want to be there. They'd be better off learning something practical or working while learning, so they can see the point of it.
I agree with you though. Keeping people in school until 18 is a terrible idea.
