銆€銆€Students at the Perse School in Cambridge, England, can avoid punishment for minor offenses, provided they can come up with quick, clever excuses for their transgressions within 10 seconds.

銆€銆€Telling a lie can get you on Santa's naughty list, but it could get you on the Dean's list at one British school.

銆€銆€Students at the Perse School in Cambridge, England, can avoid punishment for minor offenses, provided they can come up with quick, clever excuses for their transgressions within 10 seconds.

銆€銆€Headmaster Ed Elliott won't allow complete B.S., but "white lies" may be acceptable.

銆€銆€"It's a great lesson in life to talk your way out of a tight corner in a very short period of time," Elliot told the BBC.

銆€銆€Rewarding a child for lying may seem counter-intuitive, but Elliot believes he's fostering important communication skills.

銆€銆€“As head I like to play my part in creating a quick-thinking, communication ‘savvy’ generation, by giving students who have committed a minor offense 10 seconds to talk their way out of a punishment," he told the Cambridge News. "Many rise admirably to the challenge, and in so doing develop the charm and eloquence needed in the next generation of British entrepreneurs and wealth creators.”

銆€銆€The school's alum includes luminaries such as Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, but Elliott suggests his "lie-dea" may give current students the right verbal skills to succeed in the world, according to the Telegraph.

銆€銆€Some wags have protested that Elliott is merely training students to be politicians, Geobeats.com reported, but rhetoric expert Sam Leith thinks it's a brilliant idea -- no lie.

銆€銆€"You can see this being a really important life skill and actually politicians, some of them, are the absolute straight arrow, but often the ones who get further are the artful dodgers," Leith told the BBC.
