I Think You Should Not Live Beyond Your Means As This Will Have A Bad Influence On Your Children

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

I read an article about a couple who sent four children to a private school and lost both their jobs. Great that they could afford the private schools for their children but the obvious thing to do if I were in that situation would be to move their schools to a comprehensive one to help them out until they got back into work and then see how things went regarding getting the children back in to a private school again. You would think that is what they would have done! No they didn’t, they actually applied for a grant for schooling from the government to give them help to keep their children’s up bringing in their private school whilst they were unemployed as not to disrupted them and they actually got the grant, I couldn’t believe it! Now I am not a nasty person but I find it difficult covering costs of my two children I have in school let alone paying for private education, I do not think it is necessary for the government to help with such a trivial matter, there are children out there with far more personal issues who can’t even afford clothes let alone get any help from the government for private education!
