Still I would be in favour of your proposal - where's the petition so that I can sign up in support? - I'd settle for August if they start haggling with you about it...

I might actaully get some peace and quite instead of the bloody tweens screaming about their bloody bebo and mobile phones. you never know if this does really happen it would make coffee shops a heaven to sit in. If it also means less traffic on the roads even better. Oh i think thats a great idea.

Once they came out the far end, they would be so shell-shocked they would work at <em>anything</em> for any money thereby helping the unemployment and Social Welfare situation.

It would have the added advantage of putting them off studying for life thus resolving the college fee problem! Oh, and add PE to the core subject group, test them on it daily, and thereby solve the obesity in young people issue as well!

Who said anyhing about teaching them anything extra? Just stretch things out a bit - three weeks to do an essay instead of three hours? Jim C – Of course it would work.

To test them for 5 or 6 months, you would actually have to teach them something in school. That would mean hiring and keep actual teachers who knew their subjects and who could convey that knowledge. That would require a group of dedicated administrators who had the ability to lead those teachers. You are asking for a miracle. Never work.
