I think Education and School in general is important.
Agree or disagree that's fine... However, you need some sort of education to get the ground basics.
Those people you're relating to are SOME people, how many people in the UK without any GCSE's are living off benefits?
Didn't mention that...
Never failed a subject, but I didn't do well in Maths.
Also: Education is important, anyone who visits Habbo is reminded of this, as most of the people who use Habbo seem to be lacking one.
Failed a few things over time, more recently failed an essay in university when I got 20%. Was an absolute disaster. :P
You're never going to do well on an exam on the benefits of the EU, in fairness! :LQuote:

My teachers always told me I was going to be a fail, I wasn't smart enough etc. I'm on top of my class atm, done work for BBC and Mozilla, I like to think I've had the last laugh so far!
Never let someone else tell you what you can or can't do!
This basically. Think I left school with less than 5 GCSE's only managed to get C's purely because I messed around and didn't take anything seriously. Did a BTEC after school what got me nowhere then decided I needed to do something with my life. Went back to college for a year and did an access course in nursing+midwifery and a year later I'm on a hugely oversubscribed degree programme in midwifery. Most privileged job in the world imo and what's better, more or less guaranteed a career once I've qualified with my NHS trust where I do my placements. Oh and no ridiculous 9k uni fees :)Quote:

I'm at University Studying Computer Science, after getting A*, A*, A and a D at A levels :P (D was in English language, but you can probably guess that from my god awful grammar/spelling). Personally without a "High School education" I wouldn't have gotten this far in life considering I live in one of the most rural places in England where you NEED an education to be a bloody butcher.
What? Where did I mention getting kicked out of college? Never happened. Also have my gcses in maths and English, didn't say I didn't. No alevels but they're not necessarily needed for university. Read up on access courses because I can't be bothered to explain.Quote:
