I don't watch much telly, this is just on in the background.

Honestly, who wrote this? Some 6th formers, the Daily Mail education correspondent and a few retired educational advisers.

It is utter tripe.

It is bollocks, isn't it?

I keep meaning to watch this but as a secondary teacher I reckon it would be too much of a "busman's holiday". A lot of my colleagues seem to rate it though.

thecloudhopper · 21/04/2010 20:36

It may be crap, but can't stop watching it.

superv1xen · 21/04/2010 21:20

i love it! its like "grange hill" for grown ups -90's child emoticon-

Numberfour · 21/04/2010 21:22

i watched the last series but this one really is shite

YANBU at all

SethStarkaddersMum · 21/04/2010 21:22

The thing is with Waterloo Road, it interferes with time itself.
You think it must be 8.40 by now because so many things have happened and you look at your watch and it is only 8.15 yet already there has been a demo, a bullying incident, two food fights and an explosion.

BigBadMummy · 21/04/2010 21:24

I know, it is crap but I can't stop watching it.

Are there only 8 teachers in that school?

It is so unrealistic!!!!

Will be watching it next week though

ChickensHaveSinisterMotives · 21/04/2010 21:24

YANBU. Any teachers that 'right on' and lenient in a real school would end up tied up in a stationery cupboard while the pupils had a riot. Plus, half the pupils are in their thirties.

Bumperliouzzzzzz · 21/04/2010 21:35

LOL at seth! 'Teachers' on C4 was much better, till the cute one left anyway.

cocolepew · 21/04/2010 21:37

yes but it's good shite.

paisleyleaf · 21/04/2010 21:37

Each series has got worse and worse.
I liked it in the beginning and now I can't be bothered with it anymore.

jellybeans · 21/04/2010 21:39

scrappydappydoo · 26/04/2010 20:10

Its soo bad its good - I love playing 'spot this weeks topical issue in the first 10 seconds'

giveitago · 26/04/2010 20:38

YANBU.

BertieBotts · 26/04/2010 20:48

It has some brilliant comic moments though.

Series 2/3 were the best I think.

I love how unrealistic all their pregnancy storylines are - Kim finding out the sex of the baby at the first scan, both (schoolgirl) births happening at school in about 5 minutes.
