In terms of promiscuity, grammar, and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and constructive career. The Lower classes of today are setting a very low benchmark for social conduct and are, at the very least, abhorrent in their manners and methods and a slur on the reputation of the British people.
What can be done to solve this situation and show the lower classes the benefits of an honest working class life?

in looking at this...and i have as both my sisters are educators...i have noticed a lack of responsibility for the children...excuses are made for their behaviour...classes are geared for pregnant girls...they are passed on to the next grade because no one wants them back in their class next year...if there was more responsibility...tightening of the reigns in the school...while some would not be able to complete their education...the ones that did would have more responsibility as adults and not expect anyone to just give them their due...they would earn it...like the rest of us...

Erm, I'm from a low class background, I work with young people from all classes, whether it be lower, middle or upper, educating them on how to go on in public and the consequences of crime and also how to deal with discrimonatory prats like you who set them back from every body else. The "lower class folk", see/hear people like yourself and think whats the point.
If more people tried to understand the social/economic/general f*cking life these people lead then we wouldn't have to deal with dicks who think they know it all pretending to be morally and financially superior.
I wasn't brilliant at school, but I was able to read, write and count from a very early age. All this with no stuck up idiotic, "upper class", parents to pay for it.
What do you do?
Did you go to uni and get daddy to pay for it?
Just because we don't have the money that the upper classes have, it doesn't mean we are not as educated.
You must be thick to think up such a question you ignorant pr*ck.
P.S. Everything I have, I have worked for. That includes my marriage, house, plasma screen, etc...
I don't make excuses for the young people I work for, I get just as pi**ed as the next person does. Just as an after thought, its not just lower class.
You'd be surprised at the amount of "upper class" families who are just as uneducated, violent and idiotic who go through the same system as all the lower classes. Where does being lower class fit into that.
People are the way they are by choice, not by classification or financial status

Try reading Ruby Payne's "Framework for Understanding Poverty." She addresses that very issue and has guided many educators in the US and elsewhere.
BTW, I yield to no one in my position as "Queen of the Grammar Police," but even I make a great distinction between grammar and promiscuity. Perhaps the lower classes of Britain are using the sexual standards of the heir apparent rather than his grammar in leading their own lives.
Is your own life so pure? Are your standards of behavior so high for your friends and relatives that you can honestly condemn the morals of others? In 50+ years of living a straight-and-narrow life, I've found that most of us are not willing to hold ourselves or our loved one to the rigid standard we'd prefer society use.
Do you cut the acquaintance of people who are sexually active outside of marriage? Do you refuse to enter the homes of those who conceived children outside of wedlock or who are, themselves, products of such conceptions? Do you leave restaurants, flower shops, auto repair shops where either bad grammar or low morals are used or discussed approvingly?
Can your life be an example of an honest working-class life? Examples are far more useful in changing people's minds and behavior than lecturing.

Get off your pompous, elitist high horse and start by volunteering with Big Brothers or Adult illiteracy programs. This way you can yourself mingle with the peons and lower castes and actually make a positive difference by providing some guidance or teaching someone older than you how to read. Plus you may find it very rewarding

I don't believe his question is discriminating in any way. He is stating how society is. There really is no way to change how they are. Regardless of how they are financially as adults, their upbringing in the lower society leads to this lifestyle. For example football plays constantly getting arrested, they cannot escape the lifestyle their childhood brought up, and education isn't as accessible in these areas so change seems doubtful.

Well for those of us who teach these "lower classes" I find not discriminating against them is a good starting point and marginalising them does no good - maybe it is you who needs to be educated in socal skills and responsibility. I find your ignorant approach repulsive and more abhorrent than anything a child from a"lower class" background has ever uttered to me......

Monty, I think you should learn how to ask questions in a more PC way. PC stands for political correctness if I am not mistaken.
