  You can lead a horse to water...
  
  This idea of a one size education fits all is plain daft. There are those that will take to a grammar school education like a duck to water while others would struggle. The same goes for forcing youngsters into a university education which does little more than degrade the value of a degree. It is, I believe, this attitude that has destroyed the trades and crafts in this country. By all means encourage those with the aptitude for acedemia to go on to higher education, but not every child has that aptitude and should be encouraged along a different path. A nation full of acedemics is all well and good but we still need to build houses, fix the plumbing, install power and lighting and even sweep the streets and drive the buses.
