Schools try their best to prepare their pupils for the future but it is so hard for young people to be able to visualise the next step. Seeing people in their working environment has hopefully made the next step easier for them to visualise.
If we could play our lives backwards it would be much easier to encourage pupils to put in the work now to increase their life choices in future but as we can't do this it is hard for the pupils to truly see the importance and the point of some of the things we aim to teach them within school.
I am very grateful to The Open University as I wasn't ready to embrace further education when I left school- in fact I couldn't wait to leave. A few years later I realised the value of further education and was able to sign up for my degree.
Education is such an important thing and many of us don't know what we have 'til it's gone!
I have enjoyed today.I enjoyed being at work, driving home and now being at home with Ollie.
Even watching England play football knowing they have already been knocked out held my interest.
I have enjoyed today's warm weather and even the build up to what I think will be a big storm here tonight as it is so hot and humid right now.
Let's see what Wonderful Wednesday will bring us!
June is so refreshing!
