Tony in my generation and maybe yours everything was more hands on, if you had a problem or something needed fixing then you had to figure out what caused the problem and how to fix it. Today most, but not all of the younger generations are not prepared to even have a look they just pay someone else to fix it for them. I realise that throw away is the modern way of doing things but I don't have to agree with it
As far as education goes, I believe it has failed them and that it has over the last 30 odd years or more moved away from the
3 R's into an irrelevant system offering no basic life skills, like respect, having a conversation without a phone in the hand, being prepared to work and gain experience in the work force before moving up the ladder. Today the young ones expect to be the boss within about 12 months.
Out of all of these the lack of respect is the biggest problem, this should be taught in the home, it also should taught in schools and sadly it seems that no longer applies.
