Morning, numpt - and everyone else. :hello: :hello: :hello:
Interesting quote from Horace about A levels being boring when she took them. :think: :think:
It was the same for me - we were not allowed to use 'calculators', only a 'slide rule' and 'log tables' in maths. My slide rule was 'confiscated' during my exam as, being a military slide rule' it had a formula for calculating the trajectory of a mortar shell, printed on the back of it.
Needless to say I failed maths. :rolleyes:
When my children were studying for their 'A' levels, they had the use of computers, well structured course projects and teachers that seemed to be genuinely interested in them doing well - which they did.
So, it's only natural that, if the subject is made more interesting, children will be more interested in that subject and are more likely to 'do well'.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Me too - I even started one at college and got nowhere - it was in sociology which isnt a good subject for me as I like to argue and didnt feel happy quoting Karl Marx:rolleyes: Now when I have finished this Events Management Course I am going to see if I can go to Leeds Metropolitan University to do a degree in Event Management, I should be able to do one in a year:cool:
Morning all - the sun is shining here but for how long nobody knows, the dinner is prepped ready to bang in the oven on slow cook for 4 hours - if I pu it in the oven at 4pm it should be ready for 8pm:D0 -
Bump and good morning. My further/higher education was what you might call interupted and delayed (due to ill health). But apparently there are people out there willing to pay me a good enough wage

Hi everybody.
Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.
What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.
If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.
what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?
firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.
The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!
It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis
PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.
Kind wishes
P
Just off for 'lunch' reminder.
