"Can teachers do that?"

Well as many of you know (or don’t) I quit my work experience because there was nothing there for me to do, just to fold 500 letters and put them into envelopes...
Any way two of my mates quite too on Monday and came in to school, the head teacher said to the first:
"Charlene why are you back"
"Because I didn’t enjoy carrying shoes around all day, I found it boring and I was not learning anything"

"Oh, ok well fair enough ill try and find you something else to do"

Well that was ok, that made me less worried about seeing him.
Then my other mate goes to him and he says
"And you quit work experience because"
"Well there was nothing there for me to do atall, all the people sweared and it was too busy and they just thought it would be best for me to come back to school..."

"Ok, well that is understandable"

Now I was not fearing him atall I thought I would just go in there and get things sorted, but nooo, he had to be different to me...

"Robin, what the hell do you think you are doing quitting work experience?"
"Well folding 500 letters in half and putting them into an envelope is not very educational, I was not enjoying it and there was no room in the office, once I even had to just sit there and watch this lady work on her computer for 2-3 hours"
" I DONT CARE IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, YOU STICK AT IT, DONT YOU THINK I HATE MY JOB SOMETIMES"
"Um yes all the time to be honest"
"WELL WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU I DO, WHEN YOU ARE OLDER AND YOU CAN’T GET A JOB IM GOING TO COME UP TO YOU AND LAUGH, LAUGH AND POINT"

Hell was that really necessary, I mean why he didn’t do it to the other to people, so the girl a fancy (Charlene Bolton) just started saying what a fool he is, made me feel better...
I just don’t get why he done that to me, I have never really been in any trouble, I guess he is just a sad old man...

I hate every one, it is in my nature to do so...

But if you work hard at your WE, you get a good report... which you can show to future employees.

Gives them a good impression knowing you will work hard at the job youre applying for.

I'm sure many employers read "work experience" as "slave labour" - most just give you the piddly little mundane tasks that no-one else in the shop/office can be bothered to do, so they pass it off to the new lackey.

Bloody annoying, because - as several people have already said - you don't gain any education or valuable experience from it. Sometimes I wonder if the whole "work experience" programme was dreamed up by employers simply to provide unpaid labour for a week and get the teens out of the teachers' hair!

I'm sure not all companies are like that, but I know that many of them are. If they can't be bothered to offer anything worthwhile, they shouldn't be in the scheme.

You do that...

I will

You wont be saying that when she puts your head between her old wrinckled feminem breasts...

Oh dear
