That was Bradgriff's statement close to the beginning of this discussion. I'm a little surprised that it didn't raise a voice or two. My two sons are grown, but now my grandchildren are coming along. I hope this isn't a general impression of what people really think is out there in the schools.
Unfortunately it is. I fear for my own grandchildren. Not that I have any or even prospects of any but it seems that schools throughout the world are having similar problems. I don't know why they have to take all the toys to school with them. We managed and my children managed without phones ipods and other appliances at school, We didn't even have calculators just our brains and log books. Yet we turned out some very well educated people. I just think they go to school too late are given too many gadgets and stay at school too long. You should have only the ones who really want to achieve something in the higher classes. All the layabouts who want to wate their time and everybody else's should be sent out to get jobs.
I am a bit harsh sometimes, I have a good answer when I hear teenagers tell ing their parents 'I'm not a child' 'If you're not a child, why are you still at school, still living with your parents and eating their food. As long as you do that you are a child even if you are 30 years old.' These are the kids that needed to be booted into the job market faster than they can tel you that they aren't children.
