Part-time work teaches sixth-formers to manage their time (and hand in work late)

One in 10 sixth-formers who works part-time said their jobs had forced them to hand in school assignments late, a new survey for the Learning Skill Council (LSC) reveals.
Oh dear. Their work is forcing them to hand in their work late. Busy earning megabucks they are compelled to squeeze those old bits of coursework around the shifts at Top Shop.

But wait! Why are they putting themselves through this ordeal?
Young people said the benefits of working while learning included being better at time management and motivating them on their courses and learning programmes, the survey revealed.
Read all about it here!

My experience is that 90% of students work to pay for their mobile upgrades, their designer clothes and their bingey weekend clubbing trips. They would not dream of turning up late for work but they happily stroll in half an hour late the following morning; look dopey when confronted about their missing homework; and offer neither apology nor explanation. Thankfully, some start to realise they are trading short term gain for long term results and drop their hours in the upper six.

The other 10% work to support themselves or sometimes even their families. Those students have my respect and I am happy to give them as many coursework extensions as they need.

Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the
screen in Opera. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the problem
resolved soon. Cheers

Although maximum site owners are familiar with these concepts, but they may
lack the expertise to do it the correctly. However Yahoo marketing and other pay per click search engines
offer some excellent traffic at a more reasonable price.
