Re: Youngsters un-employable.
Not just young Scots unfortunately Roxy, all over Britain the move to a comprehensive education system over the last few decades, where everybody is held back to the lowest common denominator, and discipline has been destroyed by the paralysis which is political correctness, has destroyed an education system that was the making of our huge industrial strength, and has denied to our youth the levels of education enjoyed by us and our predecessors.Re: Youngsters un-employable.
It's the same here - like the thread I started on the 'entitled' generation. The new grads expect high starting salaries, lots of vacation time, quick promotions. Watching the 2 teens in this house I see high marks for mediocre work (some of it plagiarized) and wonder how they'll get through university... but if university babysits and mollycoddles them instead of instilling a love of learning, real skills, and a good work ethic then I guess we're in trouble.Re: Youngsters un-employable.

I read threads like this and want to weep, having had no children of my own.Re: Youngsters un-employable.
I don't think the attitude came from her parents though, as her dad has a physically demanding job and her mom works full-time too. I suspect she doesn't want to work as hard as they do. Somehow she thinks she's entitled to an easier time of it.
