;D My mum also left school at 14, and had to work to support her younger brothers and sisters, as her father died when she was 12. She has no qualifications, but is extremely intelligent, especially with words, given the opportunity to continue her education, she would have loved it. It's such a shame that kids had to leave education back then, because their families couldn't afford for them to continue.
