This is a question B3TA fixes the world

Moon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Make school lunchtimes two hours long...
... and use the time to teach school pupils, from primary 5 up to the end of sixth year (or whatever weirdass equivalent they have in English schools), how to plan, prepare, cook, and eat a meal.

I'm not talking about Home Economics class; they're fine as far as they go but this should be something that will actually teach school pupils how to eat properly. Not cramming "ZOMG FATS ARE BAD EAT LOTS OF VEGETABLES" down their throats, actually how to think your way through having an enjoyable meal from beginning to end.

Once a week, sixth year pupils should be required to go out to a nice restaurant for a meal, and to discuss how their other classes are going with a couple of their teachers. Maybe a pub lunch in a Wetherspoons, maybe somewhere posh, maybe a sushi place, whatever - different every time. This will teach them how to behave when they're out for a meal, and how to have a civilised conversation over dinner. Plus, a chicken curry pie and chips and a pint of 80/- sets you up just right for double PE in the afternoon.

I guarantee that will be the most useful thing that anyone will ever learn at school.
