[QUOTE="mistyshade, post: 2121, member: 126"] will the day come Hello Doc, sorry mate it has already arrived.......... Universities and employers in the UK have to provide remedial classes in reading, writing and arithmetic for all new students and employees, as schools just don't bother doing the job they are supposed to do. I am constantly being asked by those who are not too much younger than me to spell for them and do simple mental math. I am so thankful to have received a proper classical education, but I also feel sorry for those who have been let down so badly. Now for some really bad stats; 25% of school leavers in Scotland are illiterate and innumerate. It is 20% for England. How does that happen to the country with the 'Mother of all Parliaments' and the first industrial revolution? One more question; How the F*** do these youngsters get university places when they can hardly string a sentence together? Phil. [/QUOTE]
