I found this very interesting but not sure where it will lead.
I always thought David Starkey was an obnoxious and pompous big head, tonight he proved it.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

I like Starkey while agreeing with your comments about him.

The new TV series, Jamie's Dream school, with Jamie Oliver.
It an educational experiment using famous figures to teach difficult children. I have not seen it but have heard about it.

Bit extreme that... the cane would do the job in most cases.

Howard, no need for Vlad, just bring in Jeremy Clarkson.
David Starkey told a fat kid he was fat and wouldn't come back until the head did something about discipline in the classroom - the head thought he was wrong on both points.

Howard, re post #3 the clue was in the thread title.

It is a documentary, I would not call it reality TV.

i did not see it jan, the posts so far point to taking people out of their comfort zone and putting them into the blackboard jungle.
much the same as putting jordan on a desert island, comes across as reality stuff.
