Quite widely accepted as a total waste of a students time whilst providing them with a largely useless A-Level. The teachers do enjoy being able to rant on about any 'General' topic... usually their own subject. Apparently this subject can be used to enable staff to divide the genii and the averagely clever, however they mostly just bolster everyone's A-level totals to astronomical numbers.
