Public transport is a rip off.. but is probably cheaper than road tax, maintaining the car, petrol and insurance combined. Though I understand the lack of car thing. We get 2 bus services an hour.. so if you need to go somewhere you need to wait for a certain time.. oh, and they stop at 6.I almost had to rely on buses. Still rely on trains as they're far cheaper than me driving to where I need to go.As for skidders, I was one of those yr9s back in the days. It was the ability to piss about on computers during my breaks which made me want to stay in school and do well. Sixth formers need to be able to use initiative to get around these yr9s. I just asked to borrow a laptop or use a spare IT room whenever I did work. Or use lesson times, and used breaks as breaks
