    If you had typed 'Free-view', we would have understood any freelance retail expeditions.

    Is there any excuse to blame lack of education when it's freely available?

    A bloke in Africa will walk 10 miles to school, because its a way out. to food and trainers


    A bloke here , will walk 10 miles to avoid school. because he knows that if he has no food or trainers, the state will provide. and if it doesnt, he can nick them

    Lack of education because of a lack of discipline.

    Lack of discipline due to a lack of parenting.

    Lack of parenting due to a lack of work/money.

    I was under the impression that education was available to every child in this country. Why do so many under achieve? Poor calibre of schools, teaching?

    Poor discipline.

    A few years in Afghanistan under fire would teach it to those who survive.
