  • I don't understand why you're laughing at that. Are you suggesting driving lessons are in anyway less important or a bigger waste of money than guitar lessons for example? Driving is becoming less of an option and more a way of life, plus it's good to have on your CV so I have no idea why your laughing.
  • Finally, forgot to say, the school is so much against jobs they are sending out letters and phoning parents to illustrate their anti-job views.


    Maybe your parents will increase your pocket money then when they get the letter.

  • Now that you have suggested it tho, I might drop out of school before finishing my A-levels and get a job in McDonalds or somewhere for the rest of my life, I never really liked the idea of University anyway.

  • well to repond to a couple of things said above. I want a job but there isn't very many in my area and the only supermarket only pays £3 an hour which is pretty low compared to tesco's £4.50+ an hour (over a whole year the extra £1 an hour would really build up) plus the teachers won't give a reference due to the school's hard stance on part-time jobs. Secondly, I get little or no money from my parents (no more than £10 per week which may sound greedy but I'm already paying for a driving lesson @ £25 a week before even going out). Thirdly, my school only charges £25 a year and provides all books so there are no expenses in that department.

    To quote you.

    Also you haven't said what age you are?

  • I see how that may have came across, the £10 per week doesn't even buy my lunch and bus fare in school so none goes as spending money
  • My room isn't messy, I sold alot of the crap most people have on ebay and I know I haven't said what age I am (that was deliberate to spell it out!)

  • Well reading your posts I would place you at 14 but I'm getting feeling that your nearer 17. In which case I would say grow up!

    Do the dishes for your mum and maybe she'll give you a fiver.
