Waaah. School pupils aren't happy.

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Professor Lord Richard Layard, from the London School of Economics, believes the central purpose of schools should be to teach "the secrets of happiness".

"We need to go down the route of giving values to people. There are scientifically-evaluated programmes which have halved depression in teenagers."

He said schools should follow programmes in "emotional intelligence", so that children could learn how to manage their emotions and look at attitudes to work and money.
:roll:

Perhaps if they were all made to spend one week out of every month as an adult, with all the adult woes attached, they'd realise just how bloody easy they've got it. Bloody kids.
So sayeth His Royal Highness King Spike; greatest broadcasting talent of his generation.
