[George W. Bush]

James notes laconically (in his memoirs, "Eton and King's") "It was bad policy, for it unnerved one for further efforts."

I think the case has been made before that it was the undoing of the British upper class. Carelessness in childrearing. Today, we have a different kind running rampant.

James wasn't upper class, and the comment was from a teacher, not a parent, but other than that... okay. :)
