Kids to get happiness tests

[AB Asks]

Kids are to be given happiness tests at school from as young as four. The tests have been created by government watchdog, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). This idea follows the 'emotional literacy' classes that have been introduced into some schools. They would be used at primary school level between the ages of 4 and 11. What do you think of this idea? Will it benefit children or is it another misguided effort by the government?

Well it's fine is there's going to be any follow up, but since we know that some mother's can be extremely bad at the job and neglectful into the bargain, but no one in authority ever seems to take their children away from them, I can't see the point, frankly.

Our Government is happy to impose a 'nanny society' upon us, provided they don't actually have to do anything to follow it up!
