You have to start somewhere, start with those who mainly live at home and have not paid into the system.

They should be teaching kids about the real world in school, not wasting precious hours of their school life learning Shakespeare and ridiculous algebra problems. They don't need that in their heads, they need a firm grasp of the real world.

I'm all for this, if it actually comes into fruition. But I think things could be better before these youngsters leave the safety of school.

I'm agreeing with Glenn.
