Oh the Irony

In a follow-up to my previous post, some group of geniuses in the UK have decided that youths are more likely to become yobs if they drop out of school early; to prevent this they recommend more funding. Typical answer. Instead, I've got some suggestions. First off, make these kids want to stay in school. Stop teaching them politically correct, multicultural tripe; rather give them a hearty dose of British history in all its glory. Remind them of the greatness of Britain, built upon the blood and toil of their ancestors. Second of all, funding is the overall problem. As the New Criterion noted, part of the problem is that there is no incentive to get a job - or by extension to staying in school. Start cutting the welfare net out from under them and kids will realize that they actually have to get an education to get a paycheck; staying in school and getting a job means they won't have time to loiter on the street corners in hoodies.

If only Britain had Hell's Grannies to deal with, instead of yobs...
