If you had it in mind you became an apprentice if not you went into a labouring job or the forces,So why not give them two years national service both sexes and learn them a trade,self respect and disipline not to make them front line soldiers but to make them feel they are worth something to Britain,Not all would like it but they would soon see the benifits of being able to look after themselves.Then at the end of it offer them the choice to become full time soldiers/Officers or to go out in the world and follow the trade they have learned with a little bit of pride knowing that the have done it themselves without having to que up for the dole hand outs and life on benifits,Ending up with babys at 16 or on ASBOS.I don't think being at scool at 18 is a good idea if they have not bothered to learn anything by 16 what's the point,teach them properly from the age of five not when they are adults.I can tell you they will get no better teachers than the military to learn them life skills and trades and they won't be as quick to assault the teachers or each other like in school.I wouldn't like to teach a pupil who had been to the pub at dinner time and hated being at school at 18 or would they change the age for boozing and driving?
