ema bonus

[Frodo13.]

The system is only there so that the government can can bribe students so it can meet its education enrolment targets. I think that my parent's tax money has better things to be spent on.
Thankfuly, the lib dems and conservatives oppose it.

Your parents Child Benefits should be spent on you, so if it isn't then thats money being spent wrongly on a wider scale then EMA.

or you could get jobs n stop getting ema like the hard-working people like me

As im currently promoting ema , im going to defend it .

I found ema was great for paying for college trips , and it was better because it was paid into my bank account , i even received bonuses because my attendance was so great (top of my class) .

i received ema for the last 2 years and was extremely hard working , i only had time for college and couldn't get a job , because i didn't want my grades to suffer .

I think the system is as fair as it can get. They have to put the limits for the money your parents earn somewhere. The only other option is to either scrap it or give it to everyone.

Not always due to i know for fact the money for CM is spent on bills.

Well I won't be recieving EMA cause my parents make lots of money, and they will pay for my stationary & bus passes, but I know plenty of people who will recieve EMA because their parents are self-employed. This person I know claims he will get it cause his mum doesn't work cause his dad makes loads of money (£100k+ and self employed) and his parents will buy him PS3, 360, Wii, PCs pretty much on demand. How is that fair? There are lots of people who I know who parents run restaurants/take-a-ways who have tonnes of stuff and will still continue to recieve EMA. Another person I know lives in a £500k+ house and his parents earn tonnes and he recieves EMA cause he's got autism and he buys himself PS3s and 360s etc.

The system isn't fair and there are too many loopholes.

I think EMA is great if it's given to people who actually want to achieve. I think £30 is too little for those who really need it but i think some bonuses are ridiculous for giving in assignments. That isn't helping people out - it's just bribary.

However, there are families who are struggling to live and their kids depend on EMA so they actually get a education. It can go from one extream to the other.
