The great British School swap..

[Dickorydockwhatthe]

Any one watching this?? Finding it really interesting so far.

Just came on to start a thread and you beat me to it!

I’m watching. Same finding it eye opening and interesting

Amazed at these kids and their comments

Yes, finding it interesting too, though I always wonder with these things how much is edited in such a way to get the programme maker's particular points across.

I like the way the teacher is trying to get them to find common ground.

You don't have to be born in Britain to be British, my mum was born in Wales and she's still british

No way is this woman having this conversation

You can edit as much as you want but at the end of the day those kids are still saying these one liners

Hi nice to meet you let me tell you about my husbands vasectomy

It's very interesting

This woman is cringe.

Vasectomy, Asian people smell. Oh dear.

I'm watching and feel like crying to be honest. I am shocked at the complete ignorance of these children.

Where do channel 4 find these people?!

The attitudes across the board are shocking!

I'm cringing at the mothers comments

Making me think I'm doing a good job with my child because it'll be a cold day in hell before he spouts any of that racist bullshit like thirst kids are!

It’s unbelievable. If my children were as ignorant as this they certainly wouldn’t be all over channel 4 displaying it

Hope they show this on Gogglebox

I too am shocked at the ignorance.

I'm also shocked they haven't mixed more beforehand in general life. Maybe I'm naive as I live in a very white area, but DD was living in London for a while and it always seemed pretty integrated to me. Maybe these things look different from the outside.

I can’t believe that this is England in 2019.
I feel that we have regressed somewhat.
The ignorance ( from both sides) is astounding

Why didn't the teacher explain to Olivia why calling someone half caste is inappropriate?

Must admit that I’m stunned that children this age have so little knowledge of other cultures. And they don’t live in a little hamlet somewhere either. Interesting though uncomfortable viewing.

I would urge you to watch it as a whole - and see things evolve.

The mum you talk about is a product of her life and she is really open and her views change - not everyone is evolved and aware - it's easy to think people all think like us - they don't

(it's my daughter challenging the use of the word 'coloured' btw)

I'd also say it is edited to hell - they haven't included any of the less racist stuff

or the really good stuff - it's would make less exciting viewing

OK ...he's addressing it now

Will the schools swap so they go to Tamworth instead?
