I Think Education Is Important

My Dad is a great believer in education. Here in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland education to tertiary level is free. He said to all of us, 'make the best of it while you are getting it for free, if you have to resit or study after everyone else has you are at the back of the queue for everything..'

I took eleven GCSE 's and four A' levels, and I got good grades in all in took so I have potential for the fourth level if I want to go into further education.

That's not really true. Most UK schools insist parents buy an overpriced uniform from the school or the school's "approved suppliers". As suppliers have to pay a large bribe (euphemistically called "commission") to the school in order to be "approved suppliers", parents are effectively being forced to indirectly pay a fee to the school.
