IS it really true that today's schoolchildren only have to turn up for an exam in order to get a GCSE? That's certainly what a lot of people say and we want to settle the issue once and for all.

ITV is making a programme called Smarter than your kids? and is looking for parents to sit a few GCSEs alongside their children next spring.

What is planned will be both fun and informative. If anyone wants to find out more they can contact me at Granada Factuals North (Manchester) on 0161 835 6243.
