I went to a Grammar-Technical school in the north-east of England. Pupils entered by the 11 plus, 13 plus, and anyone from a secondary modern who had the requisite GCE grades could join the 6th form and do A levels. I qualified as a teacher and taught in comprehensive schools, so I know the difference. One critical difference was the work ethic of the grammar school and that of the comprehensive. Add to that the discipline and behaviour in the grammar school and you can easily see why they produced superior results. Another factor is the degree to which a pupil's family valued education. This is also fairly critical.

[@andykerr4180]

It's refreshing to see someone being honest that you can't just boil things down to superficial characteristics. Life chances are mostly class, cultural and role models. If your parents value education and are activively interested in what their children are learning it helps. If a child is disruptive then ask why but don't defend bad behaviour. All children should benefit from education and enjoy learning because the technology brings so much knowledge a few clicks away. We need to value vocational training from 14 so that children can start an apprenticeship at 14 while still in education. However, it must be high quality and by 18 lead to a recognised vocational qualification like a qualified electrician. It would be cheaper to fund and support vocational training than allowing people to reach 16 with no meaningful qualification and fund welfare or the social consequences of disaffected youth. If children witness their peers a year or two above them progress that is an other role model.

[@audreyblack8629]

A lot of it is not really depression. People just apply that label for any time you are a bit upset. Everyone goes through times in their lives ie. failure, divorce, moving house, falliing out with friends etc which makes them unhappy. Young people immeriately call it depression nowadays, which it is not! This generation have been given everything they want and can't take being told 'No'! They are so entitled that when it goes wrong, they have a tantrum and play the victim mentality.Human beings are sociable creatures, and a lot of the so called 'depression' is caused by not actually talking/ interacting/ discussing things in person. Too much time on their phones, computers, tvs, and gameboys etc. in solitary confinement! Same effect if you were made to live in a box or prison cell.

[@audreyblack8629]

Much of the bad behaviour is because they are trying to gegq too busy working, doing other things, or watching TV or on computers and phones all the time. As a retired teacher, the trick is to try to praise them when they do something good and ignore the bad providing, of course, it is jot unsafe or harmful! Most teachers use this technique and if started when young, (too late if they are teenagers!) they soon realise they get more attention when being good than bad. Unfortunately, many parents spend little time talking, playing or asking children things or taking them,out for a walk, over the park etc. I saw a young mother with a 2 year old in a pushchair waiting in our local surgery. Mother was on her phone scrolling or talking the whole time and said not one word to her child for the whole 20 minutes she was waiting. See it all the time! Phone in one hand, pram/ pushchair in other. Then they wonder why their chiidren are slow to talk because they don't talk to them or ask/ show them things . It is having a very worrying effect on children's development and reading readiness as well because they don't share/ read books to them either!
