They should teach children how to lay bricks , plumbing , electrician skills , engineering etc .. Sure reading and writing is important but so are genuine life skills to help prepare them for life after education where G.C.S.E's mean nothing and further education becomes a crippling expensive experience for the poor.

We should arm the youth of today with skills that can set them up for life they should be able to leave school ready for employment if they so wish.

Well put Lewi, this is what my farther said to us all, do what ever your best at, he said talking is great food for the brain, but if you did nothing but talk you would starve, which is what many will do who simply sit on their arses with a keyboard under their fingers, when the going gets tough they simply won't survive, the pen might be mightier than the sword, but if the men with the pens meet the ones with the swords they will have a real problem on their hands.

Once people start reading how to do things and think for themselves the guys with the pens will soon be out of business, and I can't wait.

My son is a searving police officer who did quite well at school, but joined up instead of going onto uni like all of his friends did, he now has a great job and good money, its a bit harder than he first thought, but he is many times better off than his friends who all but one have no jobs and no money in their pockets, I call it forever young, they have had to go back to school again because there is no real full time work to be found,

Britain has become a nation of office workers and managers all fighting each other for the crumbs of jobs, while all our manufacturing has been stolen from beneath us by the rich, and asking the other poor people of the world to work for nothing in our name.

This is why the government have not been training the trades like they used to, they don't want to waste money training people because they know there are not enough jobs to go around, the poloticians with vested intrests and companies abroad make me sick to death and is why the people of this country are getting sicker by the day.

I will also say that the job you once thought was safe for life is now out the window unless you join the armed forces, but even this is not gauranteed any more,

I was trained as a mechanical engineer and as things changed the jobs simply dried up and were impossible to find any more, so I got on my bike and learned a few new skills with the help of like minded people.

When put together make all the difference, never did I even think of asking the government for any hand outs nor shall they ever get anything off of me, I have paid more than my fair share of taxes to last me for a life time and never asked for a single penny back.

We make just enough to get by, using these skills I have don't have to part with as much money to buy certain things, it can be done if you find the people willing to help you, I would never work for anyopne again as long as I have a hole in my backside.
