It starts at school. When our local Primary had OFSTED coming, the headmistress wrote to all parents, requesting they got their children to school on time ! Too many teachers no longer understand, that this kind of thing is PART of an education.

I only have one problem with benefit payments. And that proplem is that some people see them as an ambition and not as a fallback for hard times.
