Story: Government plans broadband for every UK child

That isn't the problem.

The problem this country's children face is not lack of computers/internet. It is the disdain and contempt with which they regard their environment and themselves. No respect for anything or anyone - the government needs to tackle this social indifference before anything else. Youth have a sense of entitlement to everything, without having earned it at all - and it is our own fault for letting them get away with so much, making excuses for them instead of forcing them to take ownership of their own actions and thereby learn some discipline and responsibility. The age at which children are derailing themselves is getting lower and lower with each passing year - it is a scary thought that these children are the future generation.
