Lulu .......... i would have explained myself but my local is wearing off from the stitches at both ends of my arm that i had done today !!

......... too keep it very short (due to some slight pain here) i would be swinging in favour to keeping students in longer to encourage those that need to be there not cause they think it's a better option to leave early ... My sister is a secondary schoolteacher and i have heard first hand over the past 15years of her teaching at different schools the WHY's of why some leave as soon as they can ... I'm putting my hand up for those that would have potential to stay in school longer (little hard to explain right now, will come back when i can) ... lets's just say many of my sister's students over the years and at various schools think leaving school to have a baby at 15 is a better career option then being in school (one of my reasons) ... ooooh, PAIN kicking in now, ouchhy must GO
