Sue them all

Sir: As a fervent advocate of accountability, I applaud the acumen and initiative of the two teenagers pursuing damages from the school that allegedly failed to provide them with their full quota of GCSEs (report, 2 December).

In the interests of equity, I trust that pupils who approach their academic studies with undue levity and parents who deliver fractious offspring into my jurisdiction should also be subject to sizeable financial penalties; such reprobates might cause my school to be relegated in the Examination League and dent my career prospects.
