G'morning again, Vern,

 VH> Without any prompting, they told me their number one problem
 VH> was "teachers who can't read."

I mentioned NZ's new regulations for ensuring teachers were 
literate and numerate before being allowed into a classroom ... it 
occurs to me after I'd posted that reply that a similar bit of 
legislation would solve a great many of society's ills...

How about insisting on parents demonstrating both skills and 
theory in bringing up babies before the first offspring births ?

I keep trying to have basic child-rearing introduced into the year 
0-12 curricula here  -  a very lone voice,  I'm afraid.

Miles.
