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.

sub 20k is £30 AFAIK
Oh, and in my experience, you're highly highly unlikely to get 30 quid.
You have to be really, really poor to get that much.

I agree with it as it stops people having to go out and get a job, but they should give it to everyone, because my parents are definately not going to give me £30 a week to go to school.

I agree with it as it stops people having to go out and get a job, but they should give it to everyone, because my parents are definately not going to give me £30 a week to go to school.
Just to let you all know, I got confirmation of this week's £10.

Indeed. I tried to base it on at least my own morality and attempted to use a factual basis. And true, at least i don't plod around screaming, 'Asylum Seekers as the sole cause of the world problems', unlike certain 'political' groups who shall remain nameless.
*Cough* BNP/UKIP/Torys *Cough* They bring so much shame to me, and us. Bunch of racist, sheepy, xenophobic nerf hurders.

Heh. Yeah well; after 2 weeks of pointing out someone's immense bigotry, it sorta made me realise that there are worse things than having utterly different politics to someone. Hell, at least you never tried to claim that immigrants were responsible for the Iraq war...

The decision weather he gets EMA is ENTIRLY upto the staff at your school. If he is not worth, and he gets it anyway, thats your teachers fault. Not the systems. And i 100% AGREE with this system, as many of my fellow students at 6th form would have been forced into work had it not been that extra bit of income them got from EMA.

The decision weather he gets EMA is ENTIRLY upto the staff at your school. If he is not worth, and he gets it anyway, thats your teachers fault. Not the systems. And i 100% AGREE with this system, as many of my fellow students at 6th form would have been forced into work had it not been that extra bit of income them got from EMA.
