July 11, 200719 yr did you get your july bonus through yet? Sorry for a spam-ish topic but I could do with knowing if anyone got theirs because mine's due...
July 11, 200719 yr Back in my day the government didn't need to pay people to go to school or bribe them with iPods and xboxes to make sure they turn up for exams.

July 11, 200719 yr Back in my day the government didn't need to pay people to go to school or bribe them with iPods and xboxes to make sure they turn up for exams. EMA is to encourage youths to STAY on in full time education..Because some poor families encourage their sons/daughters to go and work at 16 to bring money into the home
July 11, 200719 yr Back in my day the government didn't need to pay people to go to school or bribe them with iPods and xboxes to make sure they turn up for exams. That's interesting.... Actually no I lied, thats really boring to be honest.
July 11, 200719 yr Back in my day the government didn't need to pay people to go to school or bribe them with iPods and xboxes to make sure they turn up for exams. A positive post every once in a while wouldn't go amiss. La lune ne garde aucune rancune.
July 11, 200719 yr Back in my day the government didn't need to pay people to go to school or bribe them with iPods and xboxes to make sure they turn up for exams. Government grants have been going around since the 1950s/60s. Unless you're over 50 (which, being on this forum I highly doubt), you're wrong. Owww... so that money I've been eating into was my bonus... woops. #-o | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |

July 11, 200719 yr EMA is an unfair idea, the people whos parents are earning good money get nothing.....what the hell? Just because I knew I wanted to stay on at school, it seems really unfair that people get 30 quid a week (!!!) for doing nothing but turning up on time, when people like me, hardworking etc has to try and balance there extra subject with a part time job to try and make the 30 quid some stupid idiot who stayed on at school PURELY so he didn't have to get a job, gets free!! What a rubbish system! Sig by me....
July 11, 200719 yr For Dan (and this isnt sarchasm): Horray for money to help with purchasing books and computers for which poorer people can get a better education and thus a better job. This then means more money is gained via income tax to help support even more people get out of the poverty trap :D Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

July 11, 200719 yr I didn't get EMA and most people i knew who did get it used it for stuff that didn't have anything to do with college. If you give it one person, give it to everyone. It's unfair. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.
July 11, 200719 yr mhm, it's basically if your parrent(s) earn under x amount of money you get some money each week thats supposed to go towards helping with buying food, travel expenses ect. But in actual fact the majority of people get like the eqivilant of $50 a week that goes towards things that have nothing to do with college.

By majority of people you mean your group of friends obviously.
July 11, 200719 yr Instead of giving money to people though everything should just be free. Free transport to/from school, free books, discounted computers etc. This is much better than giving cash and ensures it goes to the right places.

July 12, 200719 yr I'm guessing EMA is some program only in England? In Australia we have youth allowance. One of my friends in year 11 is on that, except he gives the money to his mum who uses it to pay rent.. There's also another type of youth allowance which gives you money when you're in Uni if you earned a certain amount before you went to Uni. I'm gonna be cashing in on that. :) Cool.
July 12, 200719 yr sounds like a waste of goverment money to me.There is no such thing as government money. Its tax payers money.

July 12, 200719 yr Back in my day the government didn't need to pay people to go to school or bribe them with iPods and xboxes to make sure they turn up for exams. I went, and i needed the cash to pay for the train fare, i lived miles away. Kinda, wish i didn't go to college though. Would have done better with out it.
July 12, 200719 yr In Holland you only have to show your student card to get free public transport. That's what it should be like here in the UK.
