Caffosaurus☕🍁:mayo: (npub17f8…s2el) mittimithai (npub1qca…mj7f) FemaleIsNotAFeeling (npub1x7f…j5hy) I was raised to see education as a privilege. Health first, then education. But otherwise it was a priority. This came from my parents not being able to stay on at school. Dad had to leave at 14, and Mum was forced to take secretarial and get a job at 16, including leaving home, despite her teachers saying she could do highers and maybe go to university. Family said they wouldn't support her while she did that, so it was vocational and job.
It's unfortunate that my full-time education ended when I got ill, but I tried to fill the gaps at college part time after, right through my twenties - in an era where "fee waiver" was standard for anyone not working and on social security. We believed in educating everyone, all the time, at any stage of life. I don't know what it's like now.
The kids in my school who wasted everyone's time weren't as bad as now - a chair out of a window, not at the teacher, was enough to get a full expulsion. The kids at college (I mean Further Education college, not University) who didn't do the work were not indulged. If they didn't do enough they'd get kicked out and no parent could say anything, they were over 16 and therefore legally adults in Scotland.
