Ema Help [+Rep]

[whoooosh]

I agree that you shouldn't be thinking about EMA as you are not in college (or over 16), but if you were, what happens?

EDIT : That was aimed at whoooosh

i am 16 and i do go to sixth form ?

i am 16 and i do go to sixth form ?

i never said i needed ema
i said its unfair that some people get it
and others dont
we have money left over
but that doesnt mean my parents will just give me £30 a week for going to school

Why do you say school then.

You really dont look 16 either

[whoooosh]

because its a school

Lmao no you should because your the one starting arguements ina thread which someone asked a simple question in.. He didn't ask for an argument so why start one?

I would call it "Education Allowance." It will stop kids scrounging off their parents allowing the parents to give the kids a good home life and back up the kids when needed. The children could then use their 'EA' for themselves. If you come from a rich family, it doesn't mean you will go on to education, you could still skive schooling/colleges.

Precisely

This is what annoys me royally I've had to go out and get a Job to earn money to buy little 'treats' because I don't get EMA and no I'm not going to deney my parents are very well off they just have decided not to treat me like a little brat and buy me everything.. I have to pay for my OWN travel expenses my OWN food while at college and I have to buy my OWN clothes and just because my parents not me earn higher than what ever the cut off is I do not get EMA I'm sorry but I find that totally wrong..

Yeah, thats what annoys me too. My parents do the same to me...hence my want to redesign the EMA. Its a theory, but one Im not sure works too well.

[whoooosh]

Its 6th Form, not school :rolleyes:

its a school with a 6th form
not just a 6th form
so it is called a school

EMA wont be changed for many years to come no doubt as it works, yes not how some people like (Such as yourself Ella) but its working and its no doubt 70% like the system 30% dont, unless that changes, the system wont.

its a school with a 6th form
not just a 6th form
so it is called a school

No, School is year 1-11. Sixth Form is Further Education (students preparing for their A levels in their final two years of secondary education) And not GCSE's so its not School, its FURTHER Education, and has another name "6th form" its not called "school" its called "sixth form"
