Apparently if you enter the sixth form at my step daughters school, you get a free iPad! I am outraged because I want one, just for the sake of it mind. It seems irresponsible to give these kids a device that receives open Internet without age restrictions to view porn etc. My nephews have one each and they are only twelve. Actually it's iPod touches they have but it's the same thing.
There's a new idea at school where our teenagers go and it's called Verticle teaching. It means a class of pupils is no longer all one age. There are say , eight kids from four age groups in one form. This way encourages friendships across the ages and stops bullying in schools. This would probably work but for one thing...teenagers are nobs and the strong will pray on the week and the clever will pick on the thick and as ever rock hard jimmy one tooth will knock fuck out of speccy Hargreaves. And the circle of life continues....
