As students are aet to discover their GCSE results today, the Dpertment for Education is considering abandoning the 12 mile treaure hunt to find your results, describing the day as 'stressful enough.'
'As we have read in all the papers, students discover their results today. We could just tell them but until now we thought there was no fun in that' said Education spomesman Ash Kennedy.
'No, much better to have them complete an almost half Marathon orienterring course armed only with a map, compass and chunky Kit Kat'
'I must admit we only enacted that 20 years ago for a bet and so we had something to laugh at on result day apart from the devastated teenagers with shit grades.'
'It turns out it may be cruel and setting them up for a lifetime of mental instability.'
'You just can't have any fun at the expense of children or those beneath you any more can you? Well, unless they are on benefits of course. Then you can fill your fucking boots!'
