[QUOTE=Zowë;14106782]ema pissed me off so much when I was at school. Just because of the way they worked out how much you were going to be getting paid.

My mum and dad (together because they're still married) made over the cut off limit so therefore I didn't get any for my 6th year. So the ema people assume that I got some of that money >: [ which I didn't.
Then there are people whose parents make a sh[I]i[/I]t load each, but because are seperated the child get the highest amount availiable.
Silly way of looking at it if you ask me.[/QUOTE]

absolutely

and it works of the previous year's household income

so that people who don't need it are getting it

and some people that deserve ti aren't

[QUOTE=Auberge le Mouton Noir;14106665]I totally understand why people get EMA

and if it means you can go on to furhter education when you otherwise would not have done, that's fantastic

But i don't get the bonuses at all

You get paid to go to school and then extra to [I]work [/I]hard?

methinks a better idea would be "if you don't work hard we will stop your ema kthxbi"[/QUOTE]

The bonus is usually for having really high attendance and only having a few days off. But I haven't been on EMA for like 3-4 years now.

The one thing that really annoyed me was, if you got EMA, you couldn't apply for any other kind of Financial help (unless you live by yourself or some crap like that), so if you take on out of hours music lessons, even though they are quite heavily subsidised, you still need to rummage around for 80 quid a term.

Also, I don't think you get any bonus for getting good grades, but it all could have changed.

The_Passenger 01-27-2007 03:25 AM

Yeah the bonuses are for having 100% attendance I think, they may allow sick days and doctor's appointments in that though. Thing is they don't give you that week's money if you miss just one lesson, so it seems odd giving a bonus for what you have to do to get the basic 10/20/30 pound a week. I don't think they hand out bonuses for good grades either.

Right, so im supposed to be sitting at home resting my broke toe, but i realy need to do my essay. I was going to go into uni and start it on monday, but seeing as i have the weekend off, i dunno whether to go into the uni library today and start it. But as i said, im supposed to be resting my foot.

Kif 01-27-2007 08:34 AM

I remember getting EMA and I missed a [size=2]sh[/size]itload of lessons.

Untitled 01-27-2007 10:31 AM

[QUOTE=Wish;14112443]I only got the £100 bonus for attendance. I didn't get any for work. That applied to college [I]and[/I] sixth form. If I was late to register at college, that was it, you wouldn't get the EMA for that week. The were complete Nazis about that. Sixth form was a nothing like that. All you had to do was register in the morning and afternoon and you were set. I mean, turning up to some lessons were advised, and I did, but even if I skipped some, they didn't stop my pay.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, 6th for was like that, this year course they don't give a crap it seems, im always late.

Kif 01-27-2007 11:33 AM

6th form was so awesome for that. I didn't turn up for registration. At all. We had registers in morning lessons and afternoon lessons, and we had to go to our form twice a week. I didn't go to form, I just stayed in the 6th form lounge.

Untitled 01-27-2007 11:44 AM

All we have to do in the morning to say we are in is sign a piece of paper thats pinned on the wall, so easy to sign it and fuk off home, or just turn up mega late.

Today has been so boring, i half wish i was in work. Im looking at games to buy too, but non really tickle my fancy

[QUOTE=Untitled;14113117]Not [I]the[/I] best. But definitely one of the best. imo.[/QUOTE]

so what's the best then

what's that one called

track 6 on origin of symmetry

Untitled 01-27-2007 12:44 PM

Citizen Erased, A lot of people say that's there best. Personally, i dunno which is my favourite. Maybe bliss, or Hysteria. I really don't know.

I was just on the top gear website, and they have brought out a load of tee-shirts, including the "i am the stig" one, which ive wanted for so long, but they have a load others as well.

/me buys.

trysthedrummer 01-27-2007 02:42 PM

How do you define "the best"

How good is good.

Untitled 01-27-2007 03:03 PM
