You only have to look at the quality of the graduates coming out of universities.
Most can't even write correctly, and without a calculator they are absolutely lost. Whatever happened to the three R's.
I couldn't believe the report that my grandson had from his school. Almost every teacher had spelling mistakes, bad grammar and appauling punctuation in their handwritten (very bad handwriting as well) reports. How can they teach children, when they have the same basic standards of education I was at when I was 12 or 13.
I have worked with university engineering graduates who, if they went to pick their noses, I would dread to think where their finger would eventually end up. They hadn't a clue. But they were given preference over a 50 odd year old highly skilled man, who could do their job backwards without even breaking into a sweat, and who had hardly any formal qualifications, except for a good engineering background.
Until they get rid of all the do gooders and mamby pamby a**eholes who "think" they are doing good for the modern day kids, we don't stand a chance.
All the children need is some good parental and state discipline, and a GOOD education, by people who can TEACH, not by people who think they can.
Maybe then, we would have the basic building blocks for this country to become good again.
But I doubt it very much if it would ever happen. There is just too much money waste and worship going on.
People are not judged nowadays by their qualities and beliefs, but by how much money they have now, or expected to have in the future.
