General grumble about kids todayOn the whole, yes, but it isn't their fault, it goes back to the Seventies and the introduction of trendy child-centred teaching methods and the dismissal of English Language being taught as a separate subject concentrating on grammar. When I was at work (over 20 years ago) my workplace hosted many foreign visitors over at my workplace to gain experience in our specialism and the poor language, grammar and spelling of the young employees was an embarrassment when someone, whose second language is English said "I thought the correct English was...…" and they were always right. The trendies, by dismissing traditional methods as boring and not stimulating, have being doing school pupils a disservice for decades now.
