I am not saying all schools are perfect but education is not solely the remit of teachers; parents need to be just as involved.
BTW I never had parents who helped me with my homework and neither did many of my family spanning generations. Children are encouraged by the wider family to get on with it unless they want a tulip job when they grow up.

It's quite handy when being hastled by chuggers and london beggars too. The opening few lines of Dau Gi Bach are typically enough to see them on their way

If you are ever in the Military and your group is kidnapped, then Welsh is a UN recognised language which you can speak and no other f***** understands so you can plan your escape.

Originally posted by vetran View Postwe just blame it on poor white boys and forget the nationality.
There are quite a few Polish, Hungarian, Serbian and Europeans in London whose parents aren't loaded and they are doing fine.
And they aren't being blamed.
They do badly because they are a group that is and was ignored by educators, who don't have parents who regard education as important enough to make a fuss about how badly they are being treated in school.
