Work based learning..

[Adam!]

Well I no longer go to school on Mondays and I go to "work" instead, at the co-op :eusa_wall.

I didn't have a choice, it was kind of like - Yeah your doing that and if you don't want too then tough.

It's a huge waste of a day where I could be revising for GCSE's or whatever! :@

What do you think about it?

Atleast your getting experience in the workplace so when you go out to the big bad real world of work you'll have had experience etc.

I already tried saying I don't want too and got the response "im not arguing about it" and they just walked off :|

Dont know if this will work but try and skip it and stay at hope and study? If they ask why just explain you see it as pointless..

Mush, the world of work isn't a 'big bad real world'! It's much better than school & people treat you with more respect unlike the teachers at school.

Yeh but at school they always describe it as 'big bad real world of work' I was meaning to be sarcastic about it
