I broadly agree with most of what you said, other than I think the breadth and depth of subjects taught up to the age of 14/15 is probably too broad and not deep enough, leaving kids with a wide but shallow knowledge. As for degrees, my point is that they're too easy to obtain. Any kid can go through some form of higher education and wind up with a degree, even if they couldn't manage their A Levels. The result is that there are way too many graduates with degrees that effectively mean nothing because they still can't form an argument, or indeed in many cases, form a sentence. If half the kids in the country have what is supposed to be the best qualification you can get, what does that say about the standard of that qualification? Way too many degree courses are such that you can breeze through them with your eyes closed, and not be challenged. That said, I don't include degrees like yours in that. I suspect yours involved hard graft and late nights - others don't, yet they count for the same on paper. Graduates with degrees like that aren't prepared for the world of work.

Yes! And I'll be telling you how to spell 'Leyton' and then I'll be telling you we knocked your sorry ass out of the Cup
