Having watched the hard work and dedication of my daughter, the countless hours of course work, home work and exam preparation for her GCSE's this type of thing would be so demotivating and hard to explain to her.

  RE: Young people on work placement at McDonald's can gain a GCSE-equivalent qualification Reply Contact People learn with a mixture of learning styles \(visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic) we tend to use all 3 styles and most have a strong preference in one. Many students who struggle in English and Maths lessons and excel in PE, Science and Drama may have a strong preference in the Kinaesthetic learning style, Learning by "doing" Kinaesthetic learners will benefit from learning and gaining qualifications on the job as an apprentice or on a Diploma \(a new qualification for 14-19 year olds) or during a work placement, as they learn more from a hands-on approach to learning.
