I WAS somewhat intrigued by Julie Hall’s assertion in her HAS letter (March 18) that the region is soon to have a dedicated school for “naughty children”.

This would seem to be an exciting breaking of new ground; will the new school be known as The Such and Such School for Naughty Children? What degree of naughtiness will be required for acceptance? Will the streams be decided by the degree of naughtiness?

I would suggest a school badge featuring Minnie the Minx and Dennis the Menace.

Former pupils will perhaps be known as Old Naughtonians.

I’ll wager, however, that they won’t do as well through the old school network as those naughty boys from such cliques as The Bullingdon Club.

I think we all know why.
