With modern education telling us all we can be astronauts and the next Prime Minister of Britainland, or, and I'm sure this is the one they all want; they will become a football player and have WAGS galore on their arms.

Many also struggle with basic maths and English as exams become easier and schools fail to properly enforce discipline.

That is a concern. A problem which should have been eradicated when a certain politician was famously stating his prority was 'education, education, education'.
