Honestly, all things considered, Romesh sounds like a swell teacher. His ability to emphasise and understand his students is notable.

[@ACEPodcastNation]

Romesh is just an all around good dude

[@oli2796]

fr, once I saw him on a plane and asked for a pic with him towards the end of the flight, he was sitting like 9 rows ahead of me and waited till everyone got off at the end just so we could get a the picture

What romesh says at the end about challenging behaviour is genuinely the attitude I tried to go in to teaching with, unfortunately all upper management and teachers I worked under were career teachers who were all above 40 and simply wouldn't listen to me, or tried to bully me out of the job because the children liked me more. I got better results, had better working relationships with the children, they hated it, and wouldn't change. So I changed career.

[@RoseBerry1995]

this ep was absolute class, so many funny moments 😂❤

[@zakwaspe]

listening to Romesh care for the children was heart warming

[@paulrichardson9843]

Very true. All kids need to be motivated to do well at school regardless of their ability. Obviously home life and environment plays a big part in that, but teachers do too. I used to work in international English language schools and always tried to empathise with the teenage/young adult students, but I was also lucky that most of them were highly motivated to improve their English skills to go to university, get a job where they needed a good English level etc. In secondary education a lot of kids might say what's the point of all this and need more guidance to find their motivation.

[@TheAlmightyPinch]

Haven’t listened to the pod yet but on the lines of the thumbnail I was locked in a cupboard on my first drama class cause my teacher thought I was being a knob…I then went on to get a degree in drama and acting and now work in television. Somehow the time in the drama room gulag inspired me

[@FountainOfYoot]

Romesh sounds like he was an excellent teacher.

[@tobysimmonds487]

So happy to see this new setup!! Makes me so inspired to see how you guys keep evolving. If you guys hosted a live audience in future I'd definitely watch, along with many many other fans!

[@justyouraverageapple7381]

This was such a good episode. So hyped for series 8 and the other guest eps!
🍎

[@RoseBerry1995]

love the new studio too! looks sick

[@Shroudey]

The noise filter/compression on those mics makes the audio levels super unbalanced when compared to the jingle lol

[@sadhamorgan5263]

I agree with Romesh’s take and philosophy about being a teacher. Great stuff!

[@mohammedqamar7942]

That Intro woke up the damn neighbours 😬

[@garylouk8776]

Remember this story on wilty

[@shank8966]

Same, great story, although it shows Lee Mack and David Mitchell make storytelling x10 funnier!

[@ResplendentAura]

He sounds like a very good teacher! Had a sports teacher once at secondary school. Made us all stand in lines in the gym facing the wall for the whole day! Only stopped when 1 kid passed out!

[@Worldexplorer6353]

Love the new studio!!!

[@Luke-ym7oy]

Good set but the audio is slightly lower quality compared to the last studio

[@dantheman1466]

So happy videos are back

[@daRkxRelik]

I miss the old studio set up.. it felt like you were chatting with your mates.

[@harvkidable]

great ep

[@Isleofskye]

From 1965 to 1971,I went to a 75% Working Class school, and the teachers were respected with an element of fear, as well. From what I knew of that area near Brixton and Peckham in those days, most children had 2 parents living together giving the family, emotional, practical, and financial support and as a consequence, we had only around 2% of pupils who weren;t interested in learning though it was an All Boys(mainly) working class Grammar School but The Labour Party ( "Friends Of The Working Class" ruined that opportunity and now the only kids who go to Grammar Schools have to be wealthy enough to live in the catchment area. GOOD OLD LABOUR...

[@kwxxxxxx]

Wished all teachers were like Romesh 👍

[@Mr_jz_12]

Had a teacher that threw a chair at a student in music class. Had another that had a mental breakdown on school camp after students set the fire alarm off in middle of the night in a packed hostel.

[@DarrenDayo0903]

Shame we can’t watch full episodes 😢

[@ir0ngamer393]

Ok but why can the cupboard only be opened from the inside? That seems like a horrible design flaw

[@samzy9358]

They lost the key

[@lefb6301]

Romesh actually sounds like a good teacher.

[@BBubblegum-ou5wq]

Idk why I thought that machine thing on the wall was a hamster wheel……

[@chesterlester5770]

I once had a supply teacher who had the piss taken out of him throughout the lesson that eventually he raised his fist up to this one girl, sweat streaming down his face, threatening to punch her. His face was terrifying

[@minikipp8549]

Reminds me of the time my year cheated on a chemistry mock and the biology teacher we all loved told us she was "fucking disappointed" and we were all scared shitless cos we loved her

[@CanucksHub]

Hilarious episode

[@harrietyounger6118]

I would have loved having Romesh as a teacher.

[@MetaphonicEDM]

Wooooaaah!!!! Why is the intro at 200% volume and the podcast at 60%?! Who tf edited this? 🤣 Embarrassing for them and painful for me

[@alexbuckenham1663]

Bloody hell lads, turn the music down on the title card

[@Isleofskye]

The workplace is not what it was.
In around 1976 we had a younger Woman who would not stop talking and 3 of the guys locked her in the cupboard for an hour, while they went off to lunch.
It was actually pretty effective but as some moan about anything these days,I suppose they would think that was wrong.....

[@Yxsufyt]

Should defo get another beta squad member on like Aj or Kenny

[@jamesrowden303]

far out that music is loud

[@Solskjaer-ex2ge]

Rom is the ffin best

[@ricardomilos590]

Please fix your audio mixing

[@SupaDupaMikel]

put all three teacher stories in one school and it's the school from inbetweeners lol

[@Calamari5]

Please fix the audio levels, it's been 8 seasons and it's still bad. The intro music is so much louder than the talking - otherwise great ep haha

[@rogerbampino]

Monster

[@isaacfelton3810]

Turn the intro down it's a jumpscare wtf

[@j-vic07]

Feel like the main blonde dude has someone gotten more British looking…

[@Bijo69]

Tree wizardddd

[@JP-hh7xl]

Honestly can’t get used to the new set up🤣🤣feels like a different show🤣
