What teachers often forget is that the students have to prepare for many different subjects, not just the one the teacher teaches.

[@sorntrash]

I don’t think they forget considering a lot of them teach multiple classes anyways. At my school I had one teacher for three different subjects, they had to mark 30 papers for each class lol.

[@sorntrash]

@Cameron Hawthorn A lot of subjects have overlap tho and most teachers will specialise in more than one subject anyways. I don’t know what your schooling was like but almost every teacher I had taught a second or third subject.

Very often in Waterloo Road, deputies seem to be more competent than the one who get the top job. Except Miss Mason and Mr. Mead both were good. (Troublemaker came instead in the form of the executive head.)

[@Alwpiano]

That served the teachers right didn't it. I'd love to be a foreign languages teacher but I'd struggle for sure if someone put a physics paper in front of me. Shows the teachers it's hard to do several subjects at once.

I remember approving of this storyline, and I still do. How do adults know that exams are easier "these" days? They're not the ones doing them.

I absolutely love the way the teachers think that it's easy to do this exam when it's their own subject but they didn't think about the fact that as Mr Lawson says the students have to do five. I remember how difficult my gcse exam was and it definitely wasn't just a walk in the park for me. I hope that Eddie returns at some point to join Chlo, Donte and Kim when it returns this year

[@gaoeykreg]

I’m sorry to say but it’s extremely unlikely that Eddie will return. Neil Morrissey has since said that he hated his time filming on the show. He cited poor scripts and very long hours with no holiday.

[@tomboychick]

I sat my GCSEs in 2003. Eddie mentions pupils sitting 5 for subjects. I had to sit for 10 different subjects, some with more than one exam, because they were the highest tier, bar one (Maths, intermediate paper). I remember feeling really p****d off that I had to sit multiple exams in one subject because of the level, yet those entered at Foundation level often only had to sit one paper, per subject. And the exams themselves were much longer. They only (mostly) lasted 90 minutes. Mine more lasted for 2.5 hours. I always remember thinking that it was completely unfair. I'd regularly find my day with back to back exams, while the lower entries didn't. Naturally, by the time I'd finished the 2nd exam, I would be starting to flag. I didn't even always have time between exams to have lunch. It always felt grossly unfair, like I was being penalised for being smart.

@@tomboychickI had to do 3 exams for maths and English as well for foundation entry, so it’s not just for “smart” people

GCSEs are a joke, or at least they were back in the 2000s when this episode aired, apparently they've been reformed and toughened since then. I was in secondary school myself back then, I wasn't even some swot who was in the top sets for everything and got a line of sparkling A*s, but I hardly did any revision and got good grades in every subject and accepted into every sixth form I applied for. I spent my year 11 exam leave just hanging out with friends, playing video games, and working part-time. I never felt any pressure at all. Besides people with learning disabilities and out and out wasters who were hardly ever in school, I really don't get how some kids would just get a line of Ds or barely scrape C grades. A-levels, on the other hand, were the first time I found school challenging, because you can't slack off and get high grades.

I have been watching this series on the BBC, and of course it is a right PC fest, with agendas to support 'diversities' etc.....but I like Karla though.. Then there are names like Donkey, Miss desperate Haddock, and I find Tom annoying, and not sure whether it is the actor himself, or the part he plays, or both. He had already got through Lorna, and Izzie, and now wants Davina.... Davina is rather cute though.......:) But, since the full series is on the iPlayer, I will watch them all because I am finding stuff to watch on Netflix now after watching for the past 9 months............on a voucher given to me at Xmas, and when the credits run out, I won't carry on with it. I have watched it many years ago, but since I am bored to find stuff to watch now, then I am watching them all over again, and vaguely remember what happened the first time around....:) It's a bit like documentary life in schools and universities these days, rather like the BBC W1A series was for the workings in the BBC with all the non-job names, and all the waffle they come out with.
