So I guess everyones know what's been going on in the last fews days

Ok we all know sadly the planned rises in Tution fees has gone through but y'know what ? am I the only one who's see a little more silver lining to this  ?

First of the Goverment are changing the raised the income for which they'll wanting me to pay it back and take it in so such small amounts i'll probaly barely notice it, also in such a leaniant plan I may never pay it back and this debt literally affects nothing like getting a mortage etc..so I see it like the appendix served it's purpose but now deadweight.

Of course the cuts worry me alot because I think education certainly for schools and EMA getters. EMA was a life saver during college. It gave me the chance to study and not stress out so much about finding work and actually concentrate on my studies and argue with the people on my course who didn't get it about how unfair it was for getting money for 'breathing' whilst most of them had achieved jobs through connections, but of course they were some who got a job through going through the interviewees and being well suited. Also schools are quite famous for being victims of cut, in any logical plan shouldn't the Goverment be trying to create a better educated tommorw to deal with the uneducated mitakes of today ?

What's worries me is no media outlet has attacked how the matience system will work, what's happening to maitence loans and grants ? anyone who can answer that will have a niche story. In all the artilces i've read everyone seems to have totally forgotten about it.

On our attack for the whole education doom and gloom subject anyone feel this generation of student protesters could write a book called 'How not to protest', we have the extreme violence we've seen which achiveves nothing but a negative image of violence and being thugs, but at least it's a change from students being drunk layabouts. We just have the people who think shoving thier views down peoples throad and not waiting for a reponse will help their cause (which I experienced first hand when checking out a sit in, in which getting a word in for your views was about as possible as piece of gum not loosing flavour after 15 seconds of chewing), so baiscally that's it it's either extreme tatics and or poorly thought out theatricaility.

Let's just say we need a Skywalker for this ailing rebel cause.

    Just a news report of the Poll Tax riots... students cannot even try to compare to those.

    Also, we might be heavily effected by these rises. What happens at the end of our two year course? Do we get transferred onto the BA course? Or do we have to re-apply? Does it mean we have to pay £9k for one year, more than what we have paid for both years of our FdA course?

  2. It's quite a scary that we'd have to pay more, but surely due to the nature of an FDA it wont affect us since we started in 2010 and are just tehcnically transfering ?

  3. If we don't get automatically transferred I think we'll be having a little riot of our own!

  4. These issues and more will come back to bite us all in the bum at some point, I'm sure! Nice interaction here, people. I like it.
