Educating Yorkshire C4 9pm

[DameEdnasBridesmaid]

Am looking forward to this, RL Waterloo Rd?

Year 9 is the naughty year!

Watching this episode with interest as my eldest is in Y9...

DS1 is Year 10, but they don't start High School til Year 8 in these parts. So wondering if his is the naughty year.

Since every body is in isolation is it really isolation?

29 detentions in a month!

I'm a bit in love with Mr Moses. Poor kid. So obviously angry about the adults in his life. Inside there is a good kid just screaming for someone to help him.

Aw how lovely, I'm filling up

Cheesy tuna pesto pasta???

There wouldn't be a 5th date if that's what he cooked for me

Ooh right Suffolk. I must have missed it.
DS1 has just said 'Is isolation a party?'.

Mr Moses is adorable, listening is the key for them, bless him.

He had a right miserable Year 8 resulting in a change of schools.

Wow! Cant help thinking mr moses made a complete balls up of dealing with grant!

And what the hell is the year 7 teacher doing swearing to grant as id it's acceptable language? No wonder the pupils are doing it at teachers if teachers are using it with them!

DS1 (Y9) watched some of this with me. He thinks that the headteacher and the heads of year need to demonstrate more authority and be more formal with the students.

DS1 (14) said the same Three. He said teachers aren't like that with the pupils at his school.

I agree- at first i thought it was nice that there was a bit of friendly banter between the head and pupils but a the series goes on i see that the pupils exploit it (as most teens will given half a chance) and it isnt working for alot of then in terms of keeping them in class and keeping them from disrupting a lot of other pupils.

Anybody else think that Mr Moses' lovelife was a completely inappropriate topic for ths programme?

... and are there really 'teachers' out there who don't do any teaching at all (except Heads and Deputies st a push!)?

It was certainly irrelevant.

Mr Moses was a complete walkover. Can't believe he let Grant go for his suit fitting when he told him he couldn't miss detention.
Also agree with pp all the talk about his lovelife made me feel a bit bleugh.

Just watched this on Catch Up. I wonder what Mr Moses thought about them doing a whole episode about his love life? I so wanted his relationship to work out, especially after the daughter had said "We're your family now. " Would have been such a happy ending. I thought he was lovely, but I couldn't help imagining what would have happened if I had done some of the things the kids in EY got away with at my school, eg. refer to another teacher as a "dick" or use the F word. I would have been roasted on a spit I think!

Right- just to completely lower the tone of this interesting discussion about educational methods- does anyone else find some of these teachers seriously hot?! The head- I so would. The youngish deputy? I would again.

As you were.

Their approach clearly was working as Grant's detentions had reduced by 90%!

Grant? Is that you??
