I know the funding is made through the school and not means tested for the student but what does it cover. If the student has transport problems would it cover bus/ train fair erc. What about books, library's only lend for a period of time and the student may need longer to read it. Any advice is welcomed . Thanks cathy

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
