I heard a news report a few days ago which really made me think - but I won't reveal what it made me think for a while. I'd rather see other people's responses first.

The article concerned a school that has decided children can wear slippers all day, rather than shoes. They are doing so because of a study looking at schools all over the world and schools where students do not wear shoes score significantly higher in standardised tests.   The head teacher explained that this allowed them to teach a wide variety of subjects they might not otherwise address and when questioned, offered Time Management as an example.
Ok, 'catters, comments, questions, thoughts?
