Why should it bother him? His particular obsessions reveal his nasty character underneath the superficial 'bonhommie'. Oh of course, he makes his money by being a controversialist. Lots of students studied from home online and perhaps not having the disruptive classmates to contend with helped. Also some people fall down on exam day, and that may not be typical of their work, but due to exam stress. People with degrees could still go into trades and skills. German skilled workers are more highly educated than British ones and British companies tended to drop apprenticeships. We just don't have the set up for that as much as we used to . I remember having work done on my house where I had to tell the workmen where the electrical points were to go because they could not read the plan which displayed the points. I also remember that the same company sacked a young man as soon as he'd passed his city and guilds qualification in order to avoid having to pay him at a higher rate.
