One of the reasons people tout online learning is the ability of flexible delivery to support students who have jobs. This survey looks at the types, impact and pay for working students in Britain and in Germany. More than half the students in both countries are working. The authors conclude, "pupils themselves and their parents had much the same attitude to part-time work in both countries - and this was overwhelmingly positive. The nature of the school day, however, and perhaps the more relaxed British shop laws pushed British pupils into working at less convenient times and for longer. There is some evidence that they are aware of the effect this may have on their school work." They also get, on average, 6 to 8 Euros per hour. I would have loved to earn that when I was in school! A note to the authors: if you go to all this work, at least put your name somewhere on the document!
