The bad news on British youth

>> Thursday, February 15, 2007

One of the big headlines of the day... the UK comes last out of 21 industrialized countries in terms of children's happiness and well being. I am not surprised at all. No wonder they are such a nightmare to teach...

Check out BBC's article. If you are really curious (teacher friends), there is a link to the complete results of the UNICEF study there.

Or how about this headline... UK youths 'among worst in Europe'

Sad but true.

I will add that Canadian youths do smoke more pot than kids in the other 20 countries. But on the up side, Canada rated 2nd best in educational well being.
