Why do you feel the need to keep reading ?

Put me on ignore. I won't get upset. The sun will still rise tomorrow.

I don't need to put you on ignore - this is, after all, quite entertaining.

I am hoping the sun will rise tomorrow - my children are doing a Sleep Easy tonight and won't be back until just after 7am in the morning, so there's just me here, refreshing, reading and replying

So you have no real life plans then ? Another day on here is it ?

Well, since I am often confined to my bed due to disability and can't actually physically go anywhere, then yes, I guess I am on here tonight.

Are you always so rude to disabled people?

Your the one's who all jumped in, not me. I was already here. You escalated one post into 2 pages, not me.

My apologies, I must be imagining the many other people that have commented in the last two pages!

Well I am as be rude to all of you. You have got it wrong.

Example

If you turn 16 in August 2013, you can leave school at the end of June 2013.

Yes, they can leave school. But, from your own link:

"From the summer of 2013 you must be in one of the following until the end of the academic year when you turn 17:

• full-time education
• an apprenticeship
• full-time employment (over 20 hours a week) with part-time education"

This will make no difference to A level classes. This change is to make sure that the 9.9% of young people who are currently NEET are occupied in some kind of education or training. For those who would otherwise be NEET, A level courses are not what they would choose. In addition, the vast majority young people who are NEET do not have the quaifications required for entry to A level courses. FE colleges will be putting on courses to respond to this change.

http://www.education.gov.uk/childrenandyoungpeople/youngpeople/participation/neet/a0064101/16--to-18-year-olds-not-in-education,-employment-or-training

As previously mentioned, there have been a range of factors for years which can put students in A level education who do not really want to be there. Good schools and colleges have always ensured that procedures and policies are in place to direct students towards more appropriate courses in the first place, and if they become disaffected while on A level courses, there are procedures in place to ensure they are sanctioned and change their behaviour, or they are removed from the course.

Therefore, if your child is at a good school or college then this change (which IS coming in for current year 11) will make no difference to a student in an A level class.

pipkin is very seriously disabled and is bedbound most of the time. Your comment seems odd coming from someone accusing another poster of being anti-disabled people.

Perhaps the old engage brain first?

i don't know why you don't just admit you were wrong about Dunroamin , apologise and stop making people think the worst of you.

So is my D,ad but he has real life friends. Ones that come to his house if he can't get to theirs. Being disabled is no reason to live though a laptop.

OMO - take a step back, mate, you're getting yourself worked up over nothing.

Go have a nice cup of tea, it's just the internet!

Indeed it isn't - did you have anyone in mind?

If you look at my posting history, I only came on a few days ago. The last time was a month prior. I am hardly on here every day.

Why are you making the assumption I have no friends?

You could be forgiven for not knowing I was disabled and yet, even when you are made aware, you continue to be rude.
