I know how you feel David 2x2 MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm bit of a hard one so where is my calculator etc .

the era of single mums in 80's and 90's and their kids are now having kids ok some of these mums are dedicated but a lot were and are not....its not all down to schoolteachers as mum and dad need to give their children time to help them progress ,with 30 pupils in each class and concentration levels differing with the children it must be difficult to teach young children but things like telling the time,road safety and general awareness times table basic counting and spelling should come from home jmo anyway ...

Can't beat the original>>>>>>

Oh yes it is true, is there any wonder, children are now born with an I Pad in one hand and book in the other explaining how they are entitled to nearly everything they want without having to work for it.

Exams etc; are farcical, you can get a full example of any subjects possible questions at the click of a few knobs etc;

Is there any wonder that there has been a vast increase in children opting out of life by various means.

I can only see things getting worse until ARMAGEDON'

Redards.

Pathetic if you ask me

Spot on O/S I suggest. Easy, easy to blame teachers etc     where as many should be looking in a large, large mirror for the cause of the problem/issue as such in many cases.
