I am in year 11 now with 6-7 months left of my time at school. The way i see it is, why not just get the work done now and do well and then atleast you have the grades to help you to get a better job. Put it this way, when us year 11's all leave our schools were all going be on the hunt for jobs and there maybe you and 20 other guys, Now do you stand a better chance with no GCSE'S or 5-10 ? Who do you think there going pick ?? It's common sense really just get the work done and do well and then you get a smile on your face when you pick your grades up and know, thats it now, i have what i wanted and can go for almost any course. Bingo, Jobs a gooden. Then once all thats out the way, Go and ride. Dan.
