Explaining to kids the harsh realities of life, treating them like adults and making them think about things - now that's teaching!!
Those kids should feel bloody blessed
These kids should contact support services.
They’re damned lucky. Wonder what they are doing now! David looked so cute wearing those purple gloves after he was done with the exhibits. No one can stop his brilliant mind. What he had to do to break into the MC academic world is amazing.
These kids are not academic and most likely hate school but they are showing interest and can see there is something special about this teacher so I give them some credit.
he blew their minds in 20 minutes
It is heavily edited.... :)
I would of love to had David Starkey as my History teacher.
As an American, I agree :)
He has a magical way of bringing history to life...right there in front of you. Those kids have no idea how lucky they are. Every question you ever dreamed of asking about British history would be answered.
A teacher who is really genuinely deeply interested in his subject. He is hated by socialists, even though he is far from being right wing.
You’d want a racist POS as a teacher?
@@MozzieMutant BOOORING
I would've loved to have had this man as a teacher.
He is cool ….and exactly - the MP s faff around and treat me like an idiot! I am not an idiot…I teach and tutor young people and have worked so hard and get doors shut in my face - but I will never give up. And I d love to be a lawyer and take the government to court and if not teach children how to think - of course. I went to grammar school and my mum sent me to speaking exams and I passed. And I tutor elite students and give my time voluntarily to children who can’t afford it. I do my bit
This man is a national fucking treasure. Disgraceful that the Twitter mob are trying to cancel him as if he has nothing of value to contribute to society.
100% agree Haram - well said
Should be running the Dept of Education
@@ColonelMuppet Dam right Cm... What an eye-opener/reality-checker David Starkey seems to be. Love the "old bling" he brought to his class. Also loved the look on the students faces as they realised some of the hard horrible truths of history, placed in a modern world context, made them question some of their own rap-hero beliefs... Outstanding
@@MarcSinclair3 Ofsted and the Dept of Education should all be fired. We need progressive liberals, feminists, gay rights activists etc to be flushed out of the system as soon as possible. Margaret Atwood’s pathetic and poorly written Handmaiden’s Tale should not be on the British School curriculum for starters. And we could start telling people that the Suffragette movement was a pile of horse shit…it never got the vote for women! It was an upper middle class movement of women that didn’t even want the vote for ordinary men! They press ganged men to go to the trenches with their despicable White Feather movement. And it has changed little today….all about pompous middle class women like the odious Harriet Harman looking to self aggrandize and call themselves saints….do watch Starkey on Question Time - there is a compilation out there - about a decade ago - rip almost the entire panel apart for their nepotism and ideology!
Fucking brilliant. I wish David Starkey had taught me history at my school.
Despite some bravado in the class, Starkey had them spell bound. It's clear that he got them thinking.
Starkey -- such an intellectual badass.
@Mr Sheffner He made far more effort to connect with them than probably any other teacher in their lives. He could have emphasised more that their circumstances will never change until their mindsets change but it would be impossible to leave such an impression to discourage teen pregnancies, drug abuse or any other of the societal pitfalls that would be their biggest obstacles.
Absolutely amazing how he actually engages with these students in history as an old guy in a suit with a posh accent. But he's a great example to show how bad our education system has become, he had the opportunities 60ish years ago to escape poverty with a good education system and now all of these students will probably stuck in 'poverty' (I would only call a tiny fraction of Britons actually impoverish), or rather low pay for the rest of their lives!
I would've loved to have this guy as a teacher.
David Starkey playing NWA is a sight to behold
Yeh - and then comparing a Norwegian king's attitudes to those of teenage rappers ... truly excellent.
whoizhe That was genius.
He makes me want to go back to school and learn! He's so much better than any of my history teachers that I had!
Extraordinarily good lesson by Starkey, excelling in the school as well as academia. He doesn't mess about.
David's life story is influential to anyone, let alone bad graders. I love how he says it how it is, talks to the students on an even level and shows anything Is achievable.
We need teachers like Dr Starkey in classrooms now more than ever to combat cultural marxism
realy any extreme political view left or right
Starkey is a good teacher in large part I think because he speaks loud enough and VERY CLEARLY.
How I wish you were joking.
I’d have love to have had a a teacher like him. The fact that he has a captive audience of troubled kids says a lot. He’s passionate, entertaining, clearly enjoying himself and has a wonderful way of teaching.
The trouble these days is a lot of teachers have no passion or love for their work and don’t even like kids! Please can we try to clone David Starkey!
I forgot how stupid people were in school.
JACK SMITH!
I was watching, thinking they were not interested, then they come up with very to-the-point questions and comments - I was wrong. No - these people are not stupid. Cram full of teenage hormones certainly, which most definitely doesn't help though!
This guy is a great guy. I wish he was my teacher. He is a good man and really genuinely means well
I would pay for a lecture series on this topic by David Starkey - one where he can discuss it at his own pace, without interruptions. Is there anything like this he has done, or even a television series by him?
Well, I appreciate that this reply is seven years after the original comment but David Starkey now has his own TH-cam channel called David Starkey Talks. Pretty much fits the description of what you are asking for.
How incredibly lucky these people are to have had the chance to be taught by experts of such calibre. To look back at these videos after 9 years of accumulated life experience might well be more life changing for them now than it was then. I was particularly impressed when those who appeared to be not paying attention chimed in with very cogent comments indeed. Learning achievement is as much or more influenced by environment and teacher quality than by innate ability, especially in the academic subjects.
@king offa So true. As an unconnected aside - shame David Starkey lost the plot in his comments during the whole Brexit mess - I'd have expected him of all people to know better! Just goes to show - teachers have their imperfections too!
@king offa Yeah I was a leaver too - same experiences as yourself!
The young lady in the front row is, in my mind, the person who would take most away from this 30 minute-or-so "lesson". She contributed and was clearly thinking - this is the art of teaching.....the ability to stimulate thought.
Professor Starkey would be of course, and is, an asset to any school, but I dearly wish he had been my history teacher....I might well have followed in his illustrious footsteps. An amazing man, with an ability to communicate ideas across an age spectrum.
As I write this comment 135K views of this video, it is highly unlikely that the 'front row lady' will be the person most stimulated by this content. No sign of her in the comment section!
@@byebye1493 Maybe she talked to Dr.Starkey after the session/lesson.....who knows? I just felt she was actually contributing to the discourse, rather than looking like she would rather not be there!!!! Let's hope that she and others were stimulated in some way...….
This is a genuinely interesting lecture.
What an amazing man! I know he can be a bit of a love/hate character on TV debates but he has a fantastic brain, is an incredible teacher and speaks his mind.
He is a brawler himself, despite his size.
I can attest what Dr Starkey is promoting.
I am a retired judge. While in school I wasn't interested and didn't have a role model. However one of my teachers saw something in me and helped me understand the importance of education
.
I went to a Grammar school and I could only dream of having such a wonderful History teacher. My History teachers were exceptionally qualified but none of them treated the students with the kind of individual respect seen here. David Starkey has taken great care to be kind to these children and respond to each question asked. The programme that aired on TV was very unkind to him.
I recognise the need to help these children but what they need is discipline not more molly-coddling.
Starkey regrets doing this show but I did enjoy watching him in it and think he did pretty well.
Great teacher
Very well done Starkey.
I could listen to this guy all day
i love david starkey so much
I am a university lecturer in Education, and a former London comprehensive school teacher. Even though the edited clips in the television programme had me watching from behind my hands in horror as Starkey committed some major class management mistakes, the twenty minutes' engaged learning that seems to have taken place in this extended version is considerably more than happens in many comprehensive schools classrooms these days, even with the best teachers. It shows how tough teaching can be.
Wow he is an amazing teacher they certainly didn't show Starkey like this in the edited version. He was really trying to get the students to relate to history by using examples from their generation. Honestly I think Starkey is fascinating and I hope he doesn't give up, these kids don't know how lucky there are to have such a great opportunity to learn from some of the greatest people of our time.
David Starkey is highly impressive.
Jamie Oliver indeed put together a "dream school." These classes are extraordinary. If you give council students quality, they will gobble it up, Starkey's lecture shows. Moving to see learning happening.
Love the way he told the black girl that she is beautiful. She felt flattered because she knows she is but would not dare flaunt it.
That what real education is about, in the true sense of the word. Superb.
Like all the best charmers, Starkey can be a dear, and a devil. I love him none the less!!!
Aaah, I had a feeling Channel 4 would pick and choose the unrulier parts of the classes to broadcast. Charlie Brooker has taught me well!
All the people who say that he's an arrogant toff are wrong - he grew up in a council estate. Why do some English people hate those who are upwardly mobile?
Trapped in their way of thinking
I know how awesome is that how he worked hard and is reaping the benefits
@4th Chairman Best wishes for the future. I expect there will be setbacks, but try to keep going.
Very lucky kids, this man is fascinating.
Extremely clever how he relates ancient gold jewellery to rappers today - genius!
man.. if i got lessons from people like David Starkey, Alastair Campbell and Alvin Hall I'd be making notes from beginning to end.. these kids need to appreciate this stuff!
As many have said I would *love* to have him as a teacher. In my old highschool of around 100 teachers there was about 5 who I thought were "good".
I did get taught by almost all of them by year changes, different subjects and when one teacher has to stand in for one who was ill or elsewhere. (UK calls them subsitute teachers or "subs".)
But imo a teacher has to be a certain kind of person who wants to teach children not just to pass their exams, but to give them a bit of insight and wisdom.
Ok now I want to see the other half of this one. That was such a great history lesson!
Perception is one of the biggest driving force to success, and one of the biggest driving force of perception is experience, then next is influence, then lastly Knowledge.
I got an A in History - I loved my teacher - he was so engaging and I went onto to study political history with English and the Individual in society and child development. I am good at a lot of practical tasks. I went onto People Management and training then teaching. I love teaching
I wish I had David Starkey as a teacher. His accent is awesome.
Young people should be put on programs such as voluntary work/programs whilst in school to see the harsh realities suffered from others that are not so fortunate in life. Maybe instead of being selfless we can all learn from others to better ourselves to help others. We really don't know how easy we have it at times. Can you imagine walking 7 miles a day to collect water, then walking a few miles to school. We all need each other. More parents need to support the teachers too.
I visited a police woman’s home at 15 and helped her with her non speaking autistic boy and girl. Her policeman ex husband terrified her and I went t every week to make tea and listen. I was 15. I know what poverty is like as my family were not privileged
Starkey has a place in broadcasting and education. I enjoy his astute political and historical judgements. He proves his metal in debates and is unafraid of the fetters of political correctness. I am from a background likely worse off than these individuals. I'm 25 years old now. I was an academic late bloomer and achieved excellent A Level Grades equivalent to my Oxbridge peers. I hold a law degree from a highly rated red brick law school in the UK. However I am one of 1000s of law graduates competing for too few legal career opportunities. I am stuck between poorly paid administration jobs and alternative graduate careers. Educational attainment is one thing - career success is another in today's saturated graduate market.
Starkey figuratively had to fight his way to the place he occupies now. The kids ought to understand that he takes guff from no one. His sword is his tongue and it is sharp.
Where are you at now?
Who would’ve known Starkey would be so brilliant with children. He really got down to their level and engaged with them really well. It’s funny we assume the kids will be intolerant but really it’s us who expect them and thus ask them to be so - if you dare to try, then they will be tolerant.
excellent work. I do find the British obsession with accent facinating
It's dissapearing
Lucky kids, I was taught to shutup and pass the damn test lol
I hated it, fact checking and vomiting knowledge. So many people are just deserting education because all teachers (yes all) are terrible.
@@Djfletch978 Teacher training is the problem. The whole thing is completely idealogical. Teachers are taught to manage a classroom not to teach children and almost all teaching theory is just plain wrong.
I would have loved to be in that class 40 yrs ago
I think the appropriate historical phrase to describe these school children might be: "Slack jawed yokels."
I can't help thinking that David Starkey was given an unfair time in the press. He is more of a lecturer than a teacher and he did (initially) put the students' backs up by announcing they'd failed, but the actual content of his lessons is really good.
These are some of the few videos from Jamie's Dream School where the viewer can actually learn something and the kids are not too noisy, disruptive or distracted. And I'm saying this as someone who isn't, strictly speaking, a huge fan of Starkey.
There's nothing wrong with David Starkey. People just need to observe their own emotional intellects, instead of the negative biased attitude for blame. When I was at school we had tough ex military teachers coming from a tough council estate myself, however my Father always said if you haven't a career within the home starting from self-discipline, self-confidence, respect and honesty. Then how the heck are you going to manage out there BOY!
Excellent teacher
What a brilliant lesson.
I didn’t finish college and this man is saying the exact same things I’ve told my college educated friends and I’ve been told I’m crazy and that’s why I don’t have a degree.
lol I love how he rambles like a university professor
Starkey inspires - that's the main way of motivating kids. Lol at the haters here
They've been told untruthes their entire lives, the truth is not popular or kind, but it is the truth, they have failed. He didn't say that this failure was final or couldn't be altered. Their needs to be more honesty in the classroom.
Imagine if all schools had a history teacher like David Starkey
Good on Starkey, I only ever respected the teachers at my school that taught with a firm hand, none of this mamby-pamby bull-shit. Some of the students in the channel 4 show seemed to think that Starkey wasn't respecting them, but if you ask me ( which I guess no1 did, but to hell with it), the ultimate disrespect is if you talk to 16-17 year olds as if they are 10, and as though your their parents, it never works and the kids will mark you out as soft; they won't respect you after that.
I wish all teachers were as honest as this :)
Define 'honesty.' Are you really going to defend the Tudors as a paradigm of social justice?
I wished he'd been my teacher! I was spell bound. All those young people with bright minds were so interested.
7:44 i've always hated this excuse, i' despite it.
"Oh i'm not good at school"
Who gives a shit. I have always struggled at school due to my particular disability, i have been confronted by my disability in many areas but i didn't give up, i worked hard to overcome my disability. I have worked hard to overcome my poor handwriting, my slurred speech, poor organisation skills, poor memory skills, difficult in expressing my thoughts and my difficulty focusing.
For the past 18 months i have had poor teachers which only exacerbated my problems but rather than giving up i continued to learn at home, painstakingly devoting myself to hour after hour of revision with particular focus on those subjects in which i struggled, maths, biology, chemistry, ICT, and more.
To offer some of these people a bone i will agree that many people are not suited to school and you might not particularly enjoy school but do not slight the value of education. Once you leave school you will be thrown into a world which is not kind and will require you to choose a path, be it academic or vocational.
Most of the time people who use the "i'm not good at school" or "school doesn't agree with me" are lazy people, people who want to blame something other than themselves for their lack of personal ambition. I find it insulting that so many people who had a better start in life to me, who do not have inbuilt disadvantages, who got a fairer start in life, would dare to throw away their future of of sheer, unmitigated sloth.
I have the same feeling about health. When I see people with a perfect physique and perfect health abuse or disfigure their bodies I despair. Also to see young people never allow themselves the pleasure of physical activities to strengthen both body and mind and interact with nature seems such a waste.
@6:55: Whoa...when prof. Starkey says "right", he reveals his northern bumpkin roots!
I'm 29 and I just watched that whole thing like I was sitting in the class.
Imagine having David Starkey as a teacher!
I like this guy. I know why.
+Val Baladjar He is on youtube in many video's. Type his name in. He can be offensive but he is a great guy.
@@barrycooper8640 Only to those looking to be offended
i could listen to this guy asweel
love watching david starchies monachy
What a legend , I adore him
What a brilliant teacher. How different things would be if all were so gifted.
Not even at university. They hate him because the students like him so much.
I think this was rather the case with quite a few of the classes on Jamie's Dream School. The whole premise was flawed. Why would top grade academics and public figures necessarily be the best people to reach these kids? On the other hand, I thought Starkey behaved admirably in patching up the initial wrong-footedness of his first session.
@emmytaylofilms - Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I did notice that they focussed too much on the loud characters especially the ones who tended to interupt the teacher quite a lot and hardly ever listened. In the Jazzie B music technology classs video, I noticed one of Jazzie B's helpers Adrian was getting quite irritated by one of the loud students he was trying hard to keep it to himself but his response to this person said a lot!!
Wow this was a good thing to watch. I spent some years in a high-end grammar school. I've also completed highschool in a far tougher area highschool. Wasted a few years then found a competency in sales heh In my 39 years I've found everyone has their own angle on the world. Developing yourself .. fk man aint as easy as Starkey says, but he's somone you can learn from.
This version surprised me after having watched the first episode on Channel 4. Did this lesson happen after the incident? The TV version led me to believe the whole lesson was ruined and that about a quarter of the kids left. As some one mentioned earlier, it would be interesting to see the whole lesson good and bad and make one's own mind up.
Well done Starkey, impressive stuff, I am interested that he is more engaged and fond of these young people who have as yet no academic credentials than he is the question time panelist’s who are often fools with a sense of misplaced entitlement.

WOW Starkey is a fantastic teacher.
I love the way Starkey not only knows what gangsta rap is, he knows what it means. Brilliant!
I once taught in a small high school in which a boy of fifteen who enrolled late.He gave me a hard time and so after some weeks I took him to the principal. I noticed how gingerly the principle took him. how sassy he was.how he had transferred from a nearby large city, out in exile also to speak,. Something put the thought in my mouth to ask, “Were you a member of a hot car ring? “ His eyes darted to to look at the principal and I knew then I had guessed right. The he said, no, I was the leader. “ He thought I had been told this by the principal, and so I was asked to leave by the principal so he could sort the matter out. Of course I had not. But the strength of the boy had impressed. me. One must remember that in medieval times, boys like him led armies into battles,
I would love to see the entire class, no editing.
Would have given my right arm to be in that lesson :D Im so glad I've seen this youtube video, otherwise I would have been biased against David Starkey. What a great lecture :)
God I wish my history teacher had been like that. Just look at all those young brains firing away, getting excited and interested!
What an educator
"I reckon - back then they didn't know the value of gold..."
holy fuck how do you even...
lmao Ikr, it reminds me of one of my school history lessons when we had a supply teacher in. He was a yank and instead of giving us the lesson our teacher had set, spent the entire hour lecturing us on the American Revolution. The moment he mentioned it the resident thicko of our class put her hand up and asked "Is that the one where they had guns?" There was a lot of palms hitting faces and heads dropping to tables from the class lol.
@emmytaylofilms I didn't know a prize trip and a scholarship was attached to the condition on attending the "dream school". My understanding on the reason a scholarship was given to you, to help you fund your studies at a private college for instance, where you'd get more focus and help with your studies. SO why didn't you receive it?
these young adults do not know how so incredible lucky they are and were!!
I really hate History since I did IB History which was quite boring.....but this professor could be a life saver.
You are wonderfully inspiring
'We have to recognise each others talents'.. brilliant 👏 🤣
One of my fav historians. Specialises in tudor history which I love but the plantagenets are unbelievably awesome, targaryens without dragons.
starkey is a genius
I consider myself a working class socialist. Despite that, I LOVE Starkey! An intellectual historian and a fine orator - Terrific. Could listen to him all day!
Not many of your sort in the Labour Party these days.
Are you a fan of Orwell?
This is the state of the UK youth today. God help us.
@LulamaeLou Never begin sentences with 'But' my love; it is a conjunction used to join phrases, not initiate subjects.
It's same with people's obsession nowadays on TV with the word 'so', drives me barmy!
he's sooo good.
That's one hell of a teacher.
@ChaLon9 I do understand what you are saying. I myself came from a very poor background, I had seven siblings. I remember times when we never got birthday presents or Christmas presents and never went on holidays. However my parents bought us books and taught us self-discipline and respect. My father worked hard to support us. I'm assuming you have not experienced poverty such as myself or others? I have admiration for people that have built up from nothing without the selfless attitude.
