OPINION is certainly divided on the new Channel 4 series “Educating Essex.”
The fly-on-the-wall documentary at Passmores School and Technology College in Harlow seems to have ruffled some feathers with foul-mouthed and unruly youngsters, and teachers calling pupils “scumbags.”
Please, do get over yourselves. This is life today, it’s not indicative of achievement but it is a mirror of society.
And as for criticism of lovely deputy head Stephen Drew – well, if you’re looking for a genuinely caring and devoted teacher determined to get the best out of his pupils, you don’t need to look much further than him.
