"I teach excluded or near to exclusion youngsters, car mechanics when its good it fab, when its bad its slit your wrist times lol "
I admire your contribution to try and reform some of these yobs.
Many well behaved youngsters would love the opportunity to learn car mechanics. Do they have to misbehave to qualify |

They dont have to misbehave, the ones I teach tend to have very poor literacy skills and opt out of one of the GCEs to take our course.

At 13 he would be too young to start our courses, the youngest we take is 15 and they can be too immature to complete.
I might have taught your son as I did work at the MB training center in Milton Keynes a few years ago |

My best job ever was when I was on the dole. It was long hours but I loved it. sitting there all day with my cup of tea, tin of posh biscuits watching back to back reruns of Jeremy Kyle on my brand new 50" 3d tv.  |

Because most of them are. When I was at school about 14 years ago I tried to get on a release from school to go and do a similar thing learning car mechanics. Guess what because I was a relatively we'll behaved kid, that wasn't in trouble every minute of the day I wasn't allowed to do it.
Worst bit about it was 2 years later when I left school I couldn't get a placement so missed out on doing the job that I had wanted to do even though I worked hard and got good grades
They seem to be put on it because they won't turn up to school or the school can't handle them. |

I used to work in a nightclub (Rapture in Loughborough). A guy from bacardi/jd/grey groose and other big brands taught us to mix drinks which was cool. At party's I'd always be mixing up crazy drinks like a mad alchemist. The clientele were a pretty chill bunch, loads were students and it was never short of eye candy. Loads of good times/girls pulled in that place. We'd all chill for drinks after closing and chat with the door staff and owners and argue about whether English or Italian domestic football was better. The pay wasn't great, but I loved that job. |

I was thinking the same and just because someone has a criminal record does not make them a bad person. |

I might be wrong but I would think that there are reasons behind the type of behaviour you mention and again, at the risk of being wrong, these initiatives are set up to balance against the background and help kids who need the help to get a better start in life ergo pushing them towards a future where they have skills, self esteem and a work ethic. The alternative is to ignore them and allow them to grow up thinking they have no value, nothing to offer and to fulfil the prophecies of those who only see what is in front of their nose. I understand it can be difficult to grasp and it is a longer term investment but early intervention is vital if you want to have a positive effect on what will be the adults of tomorrow. Yeah some of these kids can be mouthy and brimming with attitude but you have to look at why and not just the result....think about it....would you really swap places with them?

All children should be given equal opportunity a and just because some one can't behave themselves shouldn't mean they get more preferential treatment. What incentive is that for kids to behave in school? |

It's obvious you are missing my point so shall we simply each hold our own opinions and leave it at that. |

As I deal with them every day I know what there backgrounds are and hear about things that happen to them. Most are from broken homes or in care. One 15 yo told me his GFs mother gave him cannabis to have sex with her (the mother)
The fault with most is poor or none existent parenting |

"you usually find that children with bad behaviour, and im not talking children with medical reasons before anyone jumps on me, stems from home life, its usually a form of attention seeking and all they really need is attention, every child deserves to be treated with respect and if you find the roof of their behaviour and give them what they crave for you usually get respect bad"

My last job in farming was on a farm on the Preseli Mountains in South Wales.
On lovely spring mornings bringing the cows in off the mountains with the early morning sun dancing it's was across the valley and Skylarks heralding its approach and just me and the cows up and about it was bliss and I would think how lucky I was being paid for this .

My current job is the best I've ever had. Can't say what it is, indeed even alluding to the type of work I do would make it obvious because it is very unusual.
But the work is fascinating and no 2 days are the same. I look forward to work every day. |

not true - it usually stems from adults treating them badly in the first place and often it is too late to rectify their perception of the world and adults in it |

so what's not true about saying it stems from home life when your saying it stems from adults treating them badly?
isn't it one of the same?
home life does not necessarily mean their own parents or in their own house, it just means the way they are raised in their personal time and life
i feel you are just contradicting for the sake of it |

Up until my last heart attack, I built kids playgrounds.
The sense of pride and achievement,of turning a muddy rubble strewn dump,into a new playground was brilliant.
Watching the kids run in when it was all finished always gave me a sense of pride.
One or two did get trashed within hours sometimes,but thats life.
Managed to do an awful lot of traveling as well,but saw little of the places I visited.
Some of the roughest p[laces treated us like heros,though a park in London did have me in hospital, with a bottle smashed over my head by a 4 year old little darling. |

Managed to do an awful lot of traveling as well,but saw little of the places I visited.
Some of the roughest p[laces treated us like heros,though a park in London did have me in hospital, with a bottle smashed over my head by a 4 year old little darling.
Four year old "
"She was only playing" as her sweet little mother screamed at me,while interrupting her text messaging.
Wouldnt mind,but it was supposed to be a posh bit of London as well.
Lots of millionaires and big houses on one side.
Poverty and deprivation on the other. |

I guess that means you give a fuck about people.
Kudos. |

"love mine and still doing it...i work with autism and challenging behaviour"
I love my job now... I work with young adults with challenging behaviour and autism too.. wish I could read their mind sometimes just for couple of minutes. Used to be a network engineer before I got redundant.
Everyday I go to work with a smile. The best job so far.. |

We love our jobs in the porn industry & the the places & people we have met & worked with over the years, the money is not as good as it was once because of the recession but it keeps a roof over our head. |

Not a job at all! I did 6 weeks of jury duty on one case. Boring as hell but the pay was brilliant! Not only did they pay my gross wage (no tax or N.I. taken out but I got travel money paid on the size of my car (my 1.6 Vauxhall Victor sprouted a 2.3 engine!), parking and meal allowance plus there was tax rebates when I got back to work!!!!! Plus there was the "early" starts (10.00am?) and the late finishes, 3.30pm if I remember correctly! |
