this is a very odd idea. good concept but surely these inspirational people have little to no experience of teaching, especially teaching the troubled and uninspired?

parent responsibility? i dont think " the system" was at total fault... where are the parents? you're always born with 2... where were they?

[TheJasminestar13]

Whilst this a great idea, I sometimes feel a little put out that I, as a straight-a student, will never get oppurtunities like this. It seems such teachers are slightly wasted on these students, when they could be teaching genuinely interested and eager-to-learn pupils.

The Parent's need to show more discipine, I mean a slap on the head, now and agian when they are disrespectful won't hurt, I mean that's how I was taught andcit never did me any harm

There's so many shows on this channel that look really interesting but I don't get channel 4 in my country : (

this programme highlighted to me that the educational system in our country is more than adequate, you couldnt get lance armstrong, nelson mandela to inspire these kids let alone standard teachers, even if a few of these kids showed some enthusiasm they wouldn't be passing their maths SATS exams that my 11 yr old brother is taking because unfortanately they are thick as shit, education is wasted on these kids and they are stumping the evolution of the human race and should be eradicated :)

Yes it is disgraceful that our education system is failing these children but it is also the responsibility of parents to ensure they are educated to some extent as well and to teach them that they need education to succeed. Many of the people in this series were typical of many in our society - all to willing to blame the state and not their family. People must take a little more individual responsibility for themselves instead of expecting the state to make up for their lack of respect.
