As for many parents not being interested in doing a proper job on bringing up decent respectful children then maybe those parents should be the ones being given national service.

National service is a compulsory length of time spent within the services......maybe we should be discussing post 15 work experience and job preparation?

It also usually means they have no interest in hanging around on street corners anymore, having money in your pocket gives you choices. As for teaching basics, basics in what?

compulsory training course for wayward yobs?!
Not National service for all but national service for those who don't want to contribute to society!
Surely this is not national service as meant by the OP? This is a different thing altogether. A training scheme which kicked in after a certain number of months unemployed which was either taken as voluntary service or was connected with the services might be a more acceptable idea.
