I never realised just how mad the world has become.... in the wake of a number of teenage suicides in Bridgend, South Wales, two schools (one in Radyr, the other in Treorchy, neither a million miles away) decided to set their pupils the following homework:
In Radyr the children were asked to write suicide notes as part of an English literature class. See : http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/news/wales-news/2008/02/27/year-9-pupils-told-to-write-suicide-notes-in-class-91466-20529543/
In Treorchy the children were asked to plan their own funerals as part of their RE work. See:

I just think it's sick.
