McA-levels
I don't care for the food in McDonald's, but the company is well-known as a good employer. I can't, though, see why these no diplomas need to be compared to A-levels. The comparison is meaningless. I want them to be good as what they are, and I am sure that they will be. We should take this opportunity to restore properly rigorous academic qualifications as well, and then move on towards a situation in which everyone is both cultured and skilled. If the Germans can manage this, then why can't we?
