Of course that's fundamentally true, but to pull them into line as with any other walk of life, you have to have sanctions. All the time the schools don't insist, it wont happen. As I say, an education consists of more than the three Rs. |

I wonder if that total includes the benefit payments they receive? I only have one problem with benefit payments. And that proplem is that some people see them as an ambition and not as a fallback for hard times. -- Adam |
