yall are right, Issues like workhours shouldnt be discussed in public forum. this page can easily be searched from anybody on google. rules are rules and should remain so and encouraged. UK has been a life changing experience for most of us, one of the way to pay back is to become a law abiding citizen. dont do more than 20hr per week work as a student. perioopd 10 Likes |

Hello House, I have a 7 year old son I am really interested in getting to start coding/programming classes for kids. I would prefer a hybrid approach of both in person and online classes as I feel interacting with other kids might also add to the fun and generate more interest. I live in Birmingham, but unfortunately, most of the options I have found through google are just purely online. Since the options I have found are so numerous and similar, I would really appreciate any recommendations that can be given that can narrow my choice and give him the best experience. Thanks a lot. 1 Like |

IcecoldDon: ≈========≈===≈======================== Not sure if you got any response to this but my son has been doing a face to face session with Code Ninja's since he was 8 (now almost 11). He has been learning to code in a fun way starting with scratch, a bit of python, sql and now java script. I would suggest checking if you have any code ninja hub near you - they are really good. I know because I code too and I always check on what they teach him. 13 Likes 5 Shares |

lightnlife: The conversations on driving are important. Only thing is that they're repetitive. The format for the exam has changed little in a while. A single sticky post could serve most querries for years to come. One thing I aimed to address is the perception around the test. When I initially came to the UK, I stumbled upon 2 Indians who unintentionally spoke about the test. Person A used it as an example to explain how many things in the UK have clear guidance. He said it was straightforward. What you're asked to do is exactly what your tutor has done with you previously and on same routes you've driven before. No one was trying to set traps. All they needed was to prove you are a safe driver. Second person used the test to evidence how everything in the UK is complex, how he never needed a test to drive for years, how he had failed multiple times and didn't know why e.t.c. To me, there was a clear reason why one passed on the first attempt and the other stuck in a quagmire. I have seen same trend with many exams in this country. There's hardly ever a catch. Perception and preparation are usually what is needed. 6 Likes |

lightnlife: Same thing with financial intelligence. Most immigrants coming in their 30's are significantly financially disadvantaged. This is not by a credit card balance but by means of their pension accruals, mortgage, career prospects, living conditions, school accessibility, social mobility, settlement tax e.t.c. All these show up in levels of differential attainments we subsequently see among certain groups. The first major financial commitment for most are mortgages. A high credit card limit can sometimes be detrimental to a mortgage application. When banks are considering if to lend someone 200k, their focus is usually income, current and potential outgoings, previous adverse credit report, visa type.. They are hardly ever bothered about the 'credit score' many of us are keen on. The second thing about pursuing a high credit limit is that except its on a zero interest card, the whole idea of working towards getting that sum is not to use it.. kinda odd. Credit cards might be a good spot to start the discussion but it just the basics. Someone here mentioned reddit UK finance page. Its a fantastic resource to start with. 7 Likes |

IcecoldDon: Get a laptop. Even if it's a cheap one off eBay, it'll work for the basic coding he'd be doing, and be way better than a tablet. There are tablet apps for coding but most are just gimmicks. Best to start him on the right foot. 1 Like |
