Continuing on the theme of chavs, drugs and general ignorance, I’d like to address the issue of the way that the badly behaved, frankly, less intelligent pupils in school get more of the staff’s attention than those who are well behaved and are of a higher intelligence than most. Me and some of my friends come into the latter category. I don’t want to sound like I’m boasting or anything, but we are bright children and deserve the opportunities just as much, if not more, than these children who couldn’t care less about their future or their careers. Some people say that because some children come from less-privileged backgrounds, they turn to bad behaviour to seek attention. This is rubbish. You cannot trust anything that comes out of these experts’ mouths. They do not know what makes children do vandalism and other things like that until they have spent a considerable amount of time inside a school which is at the rougher end of the spectrum. I am not from a privileged background, neither are my closest friends, yet we don’t stand on street corners drinking and smoking every night. It is not where the pupil is from, nor their wealth which contributes towards their behaviour, it is there personal choice. Nobody forces these people to be violent or get high, they do it of their own accord and I cannot fathom why the government and schools are putting so much time and effort into trying to fix them when they could be spending funds and time on the children who want to achieve and who want to learn at school. These are the people who are going to build a better Britain, not illiterate drunkards.
