It irradiates the brains of the people, making them more amenable to government control. Get your tin foil hat now.

Worst thing you could do (if you're worried about that sort of thing).

A friend of mine's daughter is doing her A levels and was a child "prodigy" at GCSE (ie 100% on every exam ever taken). She was in the gifted and talented class.

In her 1st year exams at A level she has got D's and E's.

Maybe she just discovered the distractions of cheap cider and shagging.

I was thinking along those lines

Yes, I remember that when I was at secondary school the education minister (I think it was Michael Howard at the time) was on telly each night telling everyone that it’s all about the 3 Rs (reading writing and arithmetic). I was concerned about his ability to spell seeing as only one of those words begins with R, but not my own spelling skills, seeing as I paid a lot of attention to the 3 Bs; bikes, beer and birds.

Quoting "The 3 'R's" has been going on since I was at school in the seventies.

It is a traditional (and very funny) in-joke among teachers. Even today, say it to any teacher and they will collapse in helpless mirth. Sometimes taking their clothes off.

In fairness it was pointed out that the question asked of R4 was designed to seperate the F's from the E's not the A's from the A*'s.

That is quite a fair point, and I don't think you'll get far on here thinking like that. We don't want to consider what things might be for, we just want to rant about how bad they are.

Sorry, don't know what came over me. I'll nip out and buy a copy of the Daily Mail at lunch time to get me back on track!
