It's astonishing, isn't it, how Darwins Theory of Evolution has gone into overdrive over the last 30 years? The exam results show that our teenagers brainpower, mental capacity and ability to learn have increased more in the last 30 years than they did in the last 100,000.
Yet the universities and employers still complain that far too many of them can't read,write or do maths properly. How can that be?
It's not fair to our children to encourage them to think they are academically gifted far above the reality when gifts they genuinely have are ignored.
Our education system, from the teachers up to the govermnent are guilty of deception on a massive scale.
