TV review: Educating Essex

Essex

Education is a challenge. But fear not, Mr. Drew is here

Each school has one: a teacher who is also the police school, Sergeant Major, who applies the law. Which - if equality is not quite right or that you are wrong on shoes - you know is where you turn the corner, standing in the hallway with a look of smart-ass sufficiency sign for you . Passmore School in Harlow, who is the deputy director of Mr. Drew. "Excuse me, young man, come here," he says, in his exhaustion, rapid monotone, nasal (his voice has something of Janet Street-Porter is). "If they have not been able to understand a rule very, very clear in this school you attend, do not wear hooded sweatshirts in this school. So do not. You can choose your hoodie for me to end the school day. "The poor boy removes the article in question with resignation and surrender, without saying a word. I do not think it's his first offense.

Passmore courageously left the camera is called

Educate

Essex

(Channel 4) - probably because (that) sex sells - Harlow and in Essex, after all, right. But if you expect a kind of reality show with a script, the only way is education, which would be disappointed. This is pure documentary observation and discreet - designed to show what life is really like in a modern high school

The first episode focuses on Drew. And as it progresses, it becomes clear that the discipline in addition to being annoying, a "lord of evil" in the words of one student, is also - in the words of another -. "Legend" This one is nowhere clearer than in his history class, which is great (and it is unfortunate that, as deputy director, which provides only two hours a week). He realizes that in order to participate teens must make the classes entertaining and fun, put on a little show. And if that means having a laugh in the name of Koch (probably Robert, the German doctor Century 19), so why not? Children love to your class. Even more poignant, for what it does. "You have no idea how much I love teaching," he said. One minute is Passmore Waterloo Road, now suddenly it's Dead Poets Society ".

Drew is very interesting to see how the boundaries between adults and young people are not as strong as before. Charlotte, 15 going on 21, is a good example of this. "All teachers are right, it is in my head," he said. "I tried to explain to Mr. Drew, the other day which is not always right and that goes in one ear and out the other!"

Charlotte is beautiful, but a big problem. Keep under control the lot is not easy, and boring things any discipline is obviously absolutely necessary. Children - even Charlotte, I think - which seems to realize as much as teachers do. And if Drew is boring and a man of evil, evil is a man annoyed by all the right reasons - namely, the best interests of children. Punishment not only distribute in any way, and exclusion is seen as a failure - the failure of the school

CCTV

well! Is it really necessary in a school? Well, yes, that is. When another student, Carmelita, who is even worse behavior of Charlotte, accuses Drew to grab her, CCTV is the way to prove she is lying.
Passmore has its problems. This is a big urban area, of course, yes. But it works. Ofsted said that he was recently awarded its first "slope" of the report. There is nothing here to endanger, no tricks of television, without becoming in Waterloo Road, on the issue. It is not dirty in lots (Makupa is almost certainly not permitted by the regulations of the school). I think it shows what is proposed, which is really living in a modern school with all the horrors and shiny things that are there.
