Around 200,000 teenagers are to receive £100 bonuses this week, under a government scheme which rewards them for continuing in education.
... had good enough attendance and effort levels last term to pick up the extra payments, which will be repeated in July and December.
---------
So, on top of the £30 means tested "allowance", they get a bonus for simply turning up? Way to spend our money, jackasses.

Yup, my 100 squids went in last week.
Although, we got £100 bonus twice last year aswell.

I missed out by 1 year.
But I'm not too bothered, seeing as these now-happy smarmarses will get blown apart by the massive new uni fees next year.
But it is a giant waste of money.
If someone's only going to go to college to get money for it, should they really be there?

£30 a week?
If all they wanted was the money, surely they'd earn more working the same amount of hours in McDonald's?

I always thought that they'd only get the money if they turned up for a certain amount of time at college per week?

Missing the point there. They're learning stuff at the same time. Educational courses are a service; and they cost. The Government used to pay for these, up to and including college, but nonetheless in a true commerical world you'd pay to learn. To get it free is good. To get paid for it is stupid.

Unfortuanatly I missed out on this by 1 year.
99% of the year 12's get £30 a week as well as special 'bonuses' throughout the year.
None of them need part time jobs.
How sad is that?

If I had £30 a week I wouldn't have to work, which would give me time to learn.
Whether I would or not is another matter.
