The cream tend to rise mate doesn't it no matter what school i was sent  i wasnt completing it 

I was expelled and out working at 14 myself but you don’t have to stay a prick forever, walking round school with a massive chip on my shoulder giving not one f**k about anything or anyone….thats a one way ticket to being a massive prick all your life.

I didn’t have any formal education but I had enough sense to know I didn’t want to be that bloke…..you have to grow up.

But, having subsequently had experience of the education system, interacted with kids and parents in all sorts of ways and while I can agree that cream does rise to the top in many circumstance…..sometimes it don’t, sometimes it needs a helping hand, because there are some very, very nice kids in the world and while they may not end up a genius they are capable of being better than their environment……sadly, for many, the environment buries them first before they have a chance to get going.

It comes down to effort mate, you do what is within your power to do given all the various circumstances of your life…..for some like you it will mean working extremely hard and putting your money into giving your kids the best education money can buy, for others it’s being a member of the PTA, a helper or reader in their spare time, other may homeschool if it’s within their power to do that….most people just do the best they can in their own way.

However, far too many just want to Chuck them out at the gate every morning, not give two shits between 8:45 and 16:00 then have the school hand them back Elon Musk after 5 years…..and if goes wonky it’s the schools fault ! 
 

I think I’ve told you this before;

some years back, I did three months pro bono work for the DWP.

It was when they were closing the dole offices and going on line so I was helping claimants to set up an email account and construct a resume’.

I was appalled at the number of people in their 40’s and 50’s who couldn’t read or write and had opted out of school at 12 or 13 !

Surely the education system should have picked this up, that they were illiterate before that age ? How they got through life is beyond me .

Cheers.

Yes, but that’s because of where I live, I don’t think illiteracy is a problem peculiar to the north  east, I’d guess it’s country wide

How long ago was this charts for them to be 40’s 50’s ? .. my ex father in law ( dead now anyway) was unable to read or write , he was born 1950 ish never went to school much and did the yearly hop harvest when a child ,and then his dad made him go out pinching lead off churches etc when he was 14 ….he actually met my uncle at the hop harvest there as they were a similar age , uncle was much more eloquent but think that came later, he stood up to his beatings, fronted his dad  and left home at an early age

About 15 years ago, mate. Some of the people who were illiterate had never had a job in their life, constructing a resume’ for them was difficult as they didn’t even have a school leaving certificate let alone any qualifications and no work history, but they were threatened with benefit sanctions if they didn’t have an email account and resume lodged with the DWP.

Cheers.

It’s quite sad when you think of it … if the father in law didn’t have his daughter he would have been fecked , she did all that stuff for him and he came up every day with his letters for her to read , even down to a cash point he couldn’t work one so she had the card and he’d come and get her and take her to the cash point or ring her and ask her to get a certain amount out ….. was clever in so many ways though , plasterer , worked for jenny ( cant spell second name from railway children) lost one leg at the knee and still plastered with a shit prosthetic limb … could make matchstick models from his head all in scale with the springs and suspension made from sticks ….. he could have been so much more
