I think we should return to that. Pay for what you receive. If your family isn't rich enough - and you can't obtain a patron - grab yourself a shovel. Who cares if the people who clean our streets and dig our ditches and pick our vegetables can read and write?

I can't let people think that you and I completely agree on something; so, I'll add to this by suggesting we bring back the apprenticeships.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
