My parents didn't encourage or support me through my exams, I didn't really need any gcse's to become a hairdresser. I didn't do too bad with the results in the end but I'm bloody gutted I didn't do better, if I had support maybe I could have done better. Iv changed my career path now, studying something completely different now I'm in my 30s. He does need qualifications now to enter into an apprenticeship. Times have changed, requirements for all jobs have changed and you do need qualifications.
Iv said it before, I think she has this attitude towards education with her kids because it is some sort of jealousy that she has no qualifications. She told betsy it didn't matter and talked her out of going uni, she is doing the same with seb, and she also belittles josh for his qualified career. Shes also mentioned it before when people have apparently come into the centre. Its a massive issue for her to be around educated people.
And she needs to stop throwing in the mental health card everytime she's not educated enough for a real response to things! Pisses me off
