Watched the first episode last night, and like others have said, it dragged.
The thing that annoys me the most is how it just doesn’t properly resemble a modern day school. Where are the school governors? Why isn’t it an academy like 90% of today’s secondary schools are? Even in last night’s episode, the teacher just dumped a practice essay on his students without forewarning them a few lessons prior. That simply doesn’t happen in a modern day school. Why do none of the teachers seem to specialise in a specific subject? Today, unless a school is poorly funded, you don’t get a history teacher filling in for a PE teacher. Why isn’t there a designated student support department? Students today can’t just skip class and leave school grounds. Also you can’t just take students out of their classes for a charity football match like we witnessed in last night’s episode. Headteachers can’t just swing by your house either.
Even the children don’t properly resemble modern day teenagers but just adopt the stereotypes associated with Gen Z that are portrayed in the media. This “Free Danny Lewis” bollocks simply wouldn’t happen in a school because today’s generation aren’t anywhere near as morally righteous as the media likes to portray. Why are all the kids a part of the assemble cast portrayed as gobby, badly-behaved and low attaining?
As viewers why aren’t we learning more about these characters? For example, what subjects do they struggle in and whether or not they’ll be able to attain the grades they wish? At this point, it feels like the school is merely a set piece because it bares no relevance to any of the plot lines.
what's the probability she will have a fling with one of students
