Children Can’t Speak or Write Properly Any More

James Milroy

This chapter deals with the complaint about the decline of the language by the younger generation. However, these complaints are groundless by reason of the ever-changing educational system. Due to the Education Act of 1870 every citizen had to learn to write and read. The material was by any means educational on intermediate level, as the students learned how to write the necessary basics. Here on after, the students steadily grew to know more about reading and writing. At a certain point in history, the commoners could reach the same reading and writing skills as the elite. By virtue of the ever-increasing thirst for knowledge and the utilities we have, the education system cannot decline.

I do agree with James Milroy’s statement. Seeing that commoners started learning to write and read around 1870, you could expect an increase of people that can write and read. As time goes by, more writing and reading knowledge were passed on the students. Consequently, child labour became illicit. Thus this resulted in more students going to school. How much and how many people had learn to write and read has never reached its peak. Due to the ever-growing thirst of knowledge and the knowledge you can find in the media and Internet, the writing and speaking skills would still increase.
