I don't have kids so can't really comment, but it doesn't seem right to me.

bl00dy foookin stupid, what on earth made the tv company come up with that idea, especially considering that all ten wannabe's have only 5 gcse's between them.
Makes ma blood boil that does.

I don't have kids, but if I did, there is no way they would do that at a school I'd sent my kids to. People's education (particularly something as basic and fundamental as GCSE maths/english) is not something to be messed around with. It's questionable enough doing educational experiments that alter the status quo when there's a chance that the kids could benefit from it. There is no way that the kids in these classes will perform better than average and hence it is impossible to condone.

This has got to be an april fool

I thought it wasn't an april fools on account of the time, but I just spotted this, "Tue Apr 01 09:12AM by TV Editor"

Look at the name of the production company - "Flora Panoli Productions"

"Flora Panoli" is an anagram of "An April Fool"

Gotcha!
