Good post highlander01.

Over the years SOMETHING has definitely gone wrong with the way children are educated and brought up in this country.

I wouldn't put it all down to schools. It is a general sloppy attitude towards pride and discipline that seems to have pervaded a lot of our society.

Maybe it's because not so many attend church ? (and I'm an Atheist, but I DID attend church as a youngster).

Fewer youngsters having had military training ?

Anyway, there's been a real change in people's standards of behaviour, it seems to me.
