I mean perhaps the mean falling out of rhyme and reason in classroom is tied to the collaspe in childhood as a state, no one (well under eight or so) is a child any more. We all scramble off as soon as possible into teenagehood, and once we are there we never seem to leave it!
Trouble of course is that teenagehood descends on those who are not really able to 'cope' with its complexity.
Trouble is tennagehood remains to blight the life of those who should really know better, who should have move on.
Trouble is the drink industry are making a killing from all of this.
Trouble perhaps is that all the old initiation rights for adulthood (voting, drinking, driving etc) have disappeared, leaving children to invent their own (getting drunk, and cutting themselves up).
Perhaps then we need to invent them again!
