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.
@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.
Thing is I understand why she was kicked out because it was super disruptive but then also she can’t help it, which is why I’m glad schools now split these types of students into different rooms than the main body of the exam takers
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.)
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 would also love the opportunity to teach MFL at Secondary school level but there is absolutely no way I could do it with the profound lack of financial support.
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. It made no sense adults saying it when I was in school, and I would never say it about todays kids now I'm an adult, because how could I possibly know they're easier?
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
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.
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.
In the later series They got Georgia Windsor to replace Grantley Simon lowsley to replace Tom Rob Hutchinson to replace Max Tyler and Simons wife sue to replace Helen hopewell and none of them worked out
I think Angus Deayton did a good job as George Windsor and it was interesting seeing another grantly-type character shame George and grantly didnt have many scenes together would've been interesting
To be fair they didn’t really fail except grantley, but at the time of the show a D was a pass, in away that’s impressive, thst he got a passing mark, considering he hasn’t done French in like 40 years
At least 5? English language, English literature, French, geography, history, physics, chemistry, biology, ICT, citizenship, R.E, P.E theory, I had 12 😂
This aired in 2008 (and was filmed in 2007). I don't think they had Biology, Chemistry, and Physics (Triple Award science) as separate GCSEs back then. My school didn't anyway (I was in year 10 when this came out). I thought that was a newer thing. You just had Double Award or Single Award science.
I remember sitting my GCSES in 2002. Had 1 exam each day. Went home with a migraine almost everyay. Can't believe its been 20 years. I definitely couldn't pass an exam now in school now . I reckon their harder than when I wa at School
@@zachariahsmith1324 what? That they would crumble under the pressure like most teenagers do? They should have to take the exams too because they don’t get how stressful it is
it's my friend's birthday on Tuesday and im sure it would make her day if she could get some birthday messages from you guys! if you could comment on this post ill be sure to show her!
“They’re easier and that’s why results are going up” or maybe it’s because we have better teachers, better and easier access to resources and better systems in place than other generations did
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.
What teachers often forget is that the students have to prepare for many different subjects, not just the one the teacher teaches.
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.

@Cameron Hawthorn in my school some teachers teach 2 different lessons
Teachers were also students
@@matthancock260 yes with much easier work......
This was an absolutely genius idea from Eddie.
Easily one of the best characters ever on Waterloo Road.
@@H.K.5 agreed
@@H.K.5 loved it
Ja.
I honestly don’t know if Neil Morrissey’s best role is Eddie or Bob The Builder.
Funny how all of the teachers showed up to the exam just for a bottle of whiskey 😂
Entirely realistic.
100% worth it
Thing is I understand why she was kicked out because it was super disruptive but then also she can’t help it, which is why I’m glad schools now split these types of students into different rooms than the main body of the exam takers
Agreed. Helps everybody in this situations. Dyslexic kids like Denzil have people that would help him.
Lol Grantley actually felt bad about kicking Karla out of the exam.
Mohammed Ehsan did you not see his face after she apologised? He was feeling a little bad about it.
Sorn Trash I get why u said that but that’s his face 😂😂
He shouldn't have done it in the first place.
Well he had a very strange way of showing it in the staff room later that day
Ik 😂
Eddie was the best deputy
most underrated as well. mr treneman was mine
Nah Tom
He should have become the head

"GCSE students have to do at least 5" lol mate I had 11
Most do 9 but the minimum is 5
Damn 11 GSCE's respect bro👏👏
@@Muzz292 Let me try and remember, there was Maths, 3 Sciences, English, French, Welsh, IT x2, History and Sociology

They’ve actually gotten harder! Thank God I go to a school were people understand
@@lailadobb9221 They’ve gotten harder but teaching has gotten better. It balances out roughy
Job ever
Make something
Eddie was the only one who treated Karla properly he's my favourite
Both very gud ppl
And her teaching assistant.
i wish schools were actually like this
What death at every corner drama same lol
no teachers doing a exam again
Teachers getting murdered every few months? I don't think so😂

@@tomboychickI had to do 3 exams for maths and English as well for foundation entry, so it’s not just for “smart” people
Eddie and Andrew Treneman were the best deputies Waterloo Road had by far!!!!
Simon from Mulgrew Sean wasn’t bad either
I sat 15 GCSE’s, and my teachers mocked me because I failed 4 so only got 11. Retaining all that information is bloody hard!
How ironic that Jasmine said “I don’t know anything about physics” but gets the highest grade in the class!
she took it more seriously
Lol Grantly is hilarious even if his character is selfish and ignorant.
Sad that not much has changed about how some teachers see students with learning difficulties
Grantly never understood Roger even hated him for not understanding him back in his school days and even offered money to sack him.
@@007spudman Who's Roger?
Granlty: what? You want us to sit an exam
6:40 grantly picking his nose and flicking it 😂
Grantley realising that it’s not an English Exam: 👁👄👁
seasons 1 - 5 were the best
Bilal A then Karen shat on the school
I love watching these videos because I love Waterloo Road
Good acting by Neil Morrissey
bob the builder was the best character on this show
I would've love to see the student's faces if they found out that their teachers had to take an exam.
My teachers did
Half of them passed the rest failed
almost on season 4! love the show!
When they move to Scotland it turns so bad ruins the whole show

Doesn't make sense does it

Rob Hutchinson? Was he the maniac who showed up at the end of series 10?

Series 3 episode 11 is a fantastic episode
Jasmine should've failed for not stopping when the time ran up. None of those teachers would've passed
She just finished her sentence. Most exam invigilators would allow that.
To be fair they didn’t really fail except grantley, but at the time of the show a D was a pass, in away that’s impressive, thst he got a passing mark, considering he hasn’t done French in like 40 years

Why don’t the teachers take the exams instead of us?
... for obvious reasons?
@@zachariahsmith1324 What obvious reasons?
@@H.K.5 Because the exams are meant to test your ability and give you qualifications for future jobs, why would teachers take them *instead* of you?

Maybe he did it when he came back

Grades were e-a* when i was in school... i retook my gcse's in my third year of college and thats when it changed to 9-1... minimum for me was 4
“They’re easier and that’s why results are going up” or maybe it’s because we have better teachers, better and easier access to resources and better systems in place than other generations did
Or maybe it's because it's been dumbed down.
Eddies so nice.
Good on you ed
Anyone know where I can find all the series
BBC player app
Old Waterloo
Love it
What series is this
What Episode and series
Okay youtube algorithm. I get it I need to revise
damn, budgen is totally not compatible with teaching karla
Tom take the phone jasmine
Only 5 gcse subjects. I done 11 and got all B,C & D grades (even though I missed a year of school)
I can relate to Carla
7:58
Always seemed a bit out of character for Jasmine to be listening to music and not taking it seriously.

Teachers like that are a disgrace to their name. They’re meant to guide and support, not belittle and bully.
