It's the second half of summer term, SATs and other exams are over, 
and a teacher's mind turns desperately to ways of filling in the time 
before the summer hols...

Seriously, how much of the morning is eaten into by this?  If they 
manage to register in half-time and scrap assembly, won't it be half 
an hour at most?

I think James' secondary school is opening the breakfast bar early so 
they can watch the whole match.

In 1974, we were allowed to cut lessons to watch general election 
results coming in - but then, our teachers may have been under the 
illusion that that was an educational exercise rather than the 
sportive one it truly was.
