But if you want your children to go into tertiary education then you have to pay for their fees and maintenance.

My 16 year old stayed on at school in the 6th form and majority of her friends get EMA which pays them £30 pound per week, my daughter does not get anything because we earn too much money, some of these kids don't turn up for all their classes they attend just enough to qual;ify for payment each week. Louise goes to every lesson and has had to get herself a weekend job so she can go out and enjoy herself. If they give it to one they should give it to them all.
