Finish With School

[smeydiss]

Does it mean «drop out of school»?

Are you finished with school for good, or will you continue your
studies some day?

It might be to drop out or age out. It doesn't really suggest anything about other education.

[Buenchico]

One possible meaning is to have completed formal education and to have no desire to return to anything similar.

e.g. "My boss wanted me to go on a college course but I told him that I've finished with school".

That the choice is with the drop-out, provided educational establishments were willing to let them back. But if the drop-out insists it is, "for good", it means they presently have no intention of ever going back.

[Buenchico]

There might be differences here between British and US usage. Brits generally only use the word 'school' to refer to compulsory education, so one can't (legally) 'drop out' of school. Americans seem to use the word 'school' to embrace post-compulsory education as well, so it's possible for them to 'drop out of' (= 'finish with') school.

Smeydiss. You've asked six questions and received many useful answers from several ABers, yet you haven't had the courtesy to thank anyone. Remember you are communicating with real people on here not a computerised answering machine.

Dear derekpare,

I joined here yesterday. I don't know how to reply people who answer my question in order to appreciate them. Anyway, I apologize all of you.

Thank you my dear friends.
Good bye forever

You've just proved that you know how to reply.

Looks like you've flounced!

[smeydiss]

I just wrote in the answer section, I don't know whether someone who I want to mention can see my respond or not :(

[Tuvok]

Your questions and replies are visible to all.

[Etch]

Making an answer to your own question(s), like you have, is how you reply - if your reply is to one person then put their username at the start of your reply. I hope you mean goodbye "for now" and not "forever".

[Tuvok]

Thats why I thought he'd flounced!
