5 f-words

At a high school in Britain, students will be allowed to use the "f-word" in class, but only five times per lesson. From the Daily Mail:

"Within each lesson the teacher will initially tolerate (although not condone) the use of the f-word (or derivatives) five times and these will be tallied on the board so all students can see the running score," (assistant headmaster Richard White) wrote in the letter.

"Over this number the class will be spoken to by the teacher at the end of the lesson."

Parents called the rule 'wholly irresponsible and ludicrous'.

The Weavers School in Northamptonshire has been rated "not effective" by the national school evaluation board, Ofsted. There's a surprise.
