Why? Apart from a bunch of spotty teenagers and their parents does anyone else care?

Nobody.

But, in many respects the question could easily be countered by asking "Who cares what anyone other than families of (potential) third level spotty students thinks?"

They represent the only major demographic group that meeja organisations (See also politicians) really give two fecks about.
