I'm 5 minutes behind but I love the series too

CremeBrulee · 31/08/2017 21:16

Can't believe the insensitive questions being asked of Rani though!

GoGoGazelle · 31/08/2017 21:18

It's heartbreaking the start some of these children have had isn't it? And then coming here and being joked about and wound up. Horrible.

It's hard to tell kids off when you find something funny yourself

MyBeloved · 31/08/2017 21:45

I thought the punishment and telling off was totally disproportionate. Think that teacher is power mad.

HerculesMulligan · 31/08/2017 21:51

He inherited a school with massive behavioural problems. He's managed to begin to turn it round so I don't blame him for coming down hard on small things to make it clear that the school can't go backwards.

MyBeloved · 31/08/2017 21:57

Rani and Jack are awesome

allthingslipsticks · 31/08/2017 21:58

What a lovely lad Jack is, his Mum must be so proud.

GoGoGazelle · 31/08/2017 22:02

Rani and Jack's friendship is awesome. They seem such nice boys.

SwedishEdith · 31/08/2017 22:05

Great episode. Loved it.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 31/08/2017 22:07

Jack and his mum, such great people

GypsieQueen · 31/08/2017 22:09

I cried seeing Jack and Rani's friendship. What lovely young boys and how wonderful for Rani to have a best friend after what he's been through. Jack is such a kind, caring young boy. I'm not surprised though that he's like that after seeing his mum. She was bloody lovely!

Bunnyjo · 31/08/2017 22:09

Just finished watching it on +1 - the friendship between Jack and Rani is so heart warming. Such sweet boys; the little piece with Jack's mum showed the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree - she, too, was lovely.

ujerneyson · 31/08/2017 22:10

I just watched their interview on This Morning and they are both lovely kids but Jack is fantastic a really charismatic, kind articulate, smart boy and I agree, he mum is fab too

Spudlet · 31/08/2017 22:18

I've never watched these programmes before, and this one made my eyes water at least three or four times. Is it always this emotional?!

Poor little Rani, what a gigantic portion of crap for him to deal with at such a young age. So glad he has a good friend to help him through.

MissEliza · 31/08/2017 22:21

Lovely programme. Rani is so lucky to have a warm and kind friend like Jack (and his mum!). I loved her making an effort to invite him to tea and the dad not understanding what she meant. As someone who has worked with EAL and SEN kids I was LMAO when Rani wrote 'fock' on the van! Dead giveaway who had done it!
I also burst into tears when Rani was told he was leaving the unit. I had a pupil who really struggled with that transition and I really felt for him.
