Isnt it something to do with
The younger generations having a poor education and therefore not having the confidence to make a statement and therefore going up at the end of the sentence means that they dont have to stand by the statement.

Eh?
I think it's just to do with where you're from. School is compulsory until you're 16 - and from then until you're 18 you either have to be at TAFE (technical college), in an apprenticeship or at highschool. S'nothing to do with your education.

I was being disparaging about the YOUTH of today
but it was a theory that someone came up with, by poor education I dont think they were refering to the actual qualifications but that schooling now is often about passing the exam as opposed to a wider preperation to adult life.
