00:00what's up wolf bag fam it's your boy kid back at it again i hope you're doing well continuing
00:14my journey continuing my journey of that'll teach them with the crew boys versus girls
00:20definitely an entertaining series so we got to watch another episode but really quick whether
00:24you're new or recurring snacks is not included damn it you got to bring your own fancy cup and
00:29go make a sandwich whatever you need to come kick with me and hopefully you have a laugh alongside
00:33me let's get it
00:59snacks not included let's freaking go
01:09so
01:13it's the start
01:42of the third week at Charles Darwin Grammar.
01:46And in this morning's assembly,
01:48the headmaster is giving the kids an update.
01:51Thank you very much.
01:52Now, a few words about the academic progress of the school.
01:59As far as English is concerned,
02:00girls doing significantly better than the boys,
02:03with far more attention to spelling, presentation and general accuracy.
02:09Mathematics.
02:10Miss Gibson says that girls marginally better than the boys.
02:15Biology.
02:16Girls are beginning to pull ahead of the boys.
02:19Physics.
02:21Boys were slightly ahead after the test,
02:24but the girls have caught up.
02:26Chemistry.
02:28Dr Shidlow says,
02:29initially girls better,
02:31boys are now showing more determination
02:34and have now overtaken the girls.
02:36You can see that, overall, the girls are faring better.
02:43At the end of the term,
02:44all the pupils are taking 1950s O-level exams.
02:48If they want to beat the girls,
02:50the boys had better pull up their socks.
02:53Hurry up, get your writing equipment.
02:55First lesson of the day for the girls is chemistry,
02:58the only subject these academic high-flyers are trailing in.
03:02Sit down, girls.
03:04Now, I wanted to demonstrate for you,
03:05hydrogen sulphide has similar chemical properties to sulphur dioxide.
03:10I'd like you all to write the heading now in your books,
03:13Preparation and Properties of H2S.
03:16I want you to use the chemical...
03:17Underline that neatly.
03:19The boys like nothing more than smells and bangs,
03:22but the girls have struggled
03:23with this traditionally male approach since day one.
03:26Hydrogen sulphide is a very powerful reducing agent.
03:30It loses hydrogen as it is oxidised.
03:33Dr Shidlow is demonstrating basic chemical reactions.
03:36But true to form, the girls seem disinterested.
03:39Can you all watch the next experiment now
03:41with permanganate solution?
03:44There we go in.
03:44And you'll notice that immediately was decolourised.
03:48As we shake it up,
03:49you will gradually observe the formation
03:51of a murky precipitate of sulphur as well.
03:54By the time he's got to the...
03:55Well and truly switched off.
03:57The water starts to boil.
03:59Huge amounts of steam is produced
04:00and there's a very large rise in temperature.
04:03And when they switch off, they misbehave.
04:05How strongly...
04:07Flicking ink.
04:08...is the reaction between concentrated sulphuric acid and water.
04:12So, I'm going to start off
04:14by pouring a small quantity of water into...
04:17and we shall take the temperature.
04:20It's not long before Amy and Ruby
04:22manage to disrupt the entire class.
04:24She...
04:25We try and concentrate on getting the work done.
04:27When cork H204 is added to water...
04:30But if they think they've got away with it,
04:32they've got another think coming.
04:33The water starts to boil.
04:36The water starts to boil.
04:40After the lesson,
04:41when I was taking off my lab coat,
04:43I noticed to my amazement and great disappointment
04:45that the lab coat had been covered
04:47in this manner with ink.
04:49I have a very clear idea of who it may have been.
04:52It would have been a girl sitting at the end of the row
04:54because that's where the easiest position was
04:57for them to access me.
04:58I had my back turned.
04:59I was very close to them.
05:00Some girls had also asked for ink.
05:02So, clearly, they were looking for an opportunity
05:04to carry this out.
05:06Later, Amy and Ruby are summoned back to the lab
05:09where Dr Shidlow has designed a punishment
05:11to fit the crime.
05:12I want every single spot of ink washed out.
05:15You're supposed to now put them in and start washing.
05:17No talking. Get on with it.
05:20Enjoy.
05:22Have fun.
05:22Just put those water on.
05:23Yeah, I'm not interested in it.
05:24I don't care.
05:25Do everything you can.
05:26Carry on washing it out.
05:27You carry on.
05:30It's impossible to remove it.
05:31Well, carry on.
05:31That's our point.
05:32I wouldn't have sent you an easy towel.
05:33But there's a difference between being easy
05:36and being impossible.
05:37Well, I'll decide on how impossible it is.
05:39So, carry on.
05:42Amy has been in trouble since day one.
05:45She malingered in games.
05:47You don't understand.
05:48I can't run.
05:49She's been a constant troublemaker
05:51and suffered constant punishments.
05:54I think if you do punishments,
05:56you actually do learn your lesson
05:57and you just don't do it again, really.
06:00But clearly, they haven't worked on petulant Amy.
06:04I want you to ask yourselves,
06:07was it worth it?
06:08And think that a little humility,
06:11a little dignity,
06:13that's the way forward.
06:16So, I'm just really sick of getting into trouble.
06:19It's just, it's really boring now.
06:21And it's such a waste of time.
06:24I just, I don't know,
06:25I feel really frustrated.
06:25Woo-hoo!
06:33Once lessons finish,
06:35free time is packed with extracurricular activities.
06:38This afternoon, there's a science club.
06:41Attendance is voluntary,
06:42but if you know what's good for you,
06:43you'll turn up.
06:45Turn it up!
06:45The girls and boys have been set a challenge
06:47to design and build a go-kart.
06:49There will be a competition to see
06:52who can do it the better,
06:53the boys or the girls.
06:54And there will be a substantial
06:56and proper prize for the team which wins.
06:59It's a chance for the boys
07:00to salvage their battered egos.
07:03Go, go, go!
07:04With a handful of old pram wheels,
07:06scraps of wood and basic tools,
07:08the two teams set to work.
07:11Let's go!
07:12In the 1950s,
07:13even grammar school pupils
07:14were expected to learn
07:15basic practical skills.
07:17A far cry from today
07:19where so-called academic subjects
07:21like media studies and citizenship
07:23are all the rage.
07:24You're going to help fix
07:25the wheels onto the wood today.
07:28Heading up the boys' team
07:29is Simon Taylor.
07:30He's convinced
07:31that when it comes to automotive design,
07:33a combination of nature and nurture
07:35will win the day.
07:37Of course we'll win.
07:37You too.
07:38Definitely.
07:39I'll die if we don't win.
07:41You just see all the bloke
07:42like DIY and stuff.
07:44You just brought up
07:45like doing DIY and stuff.
07:46Girls, cooking's more their thing.
07:48They can do that, yeah,
07:50but I don't think
07:51their design will be good at all.
07:52You need metal base
07:53and you need to make a hole through it.
07:55But the boys should beware.
07:57The girls have a secret weapon
07:59in the form of Emily Williams.
08:00I have a go-kart
08:02at my granddad's house
08:03that I know works
08:04and I know if we make a replica of it
08:06that it will work.
08:06So I'm just kind of
08:07trying to get them
08:08to go along that line
08:09and to make that
08:10kind of a go-kart.
08:11The boys feel confident
08:12because they're men
08:13and men think that they're better
08:14at this kind of stuff
08:15than women.
08:15But women are more intelligent
08:16because they actually think
08:17about what they're doing.
08:19Typically, boys like doing
08:20while girls like discussing.
08:23True to form,
08:24the boys get stuck in.
08:27Move in.
08:28While the girls
08:29just bicker.
08:30Who thinks that this
08:32should make you done the part?
08:33We don't start first.
08:34Right.
08:35The bottom.
08:35We have to make the basics.
08:37On the beaches,
08:38we have to make the bigger front.
08:40How about we start
08:41with everybody shutting up
08:42and one person talking at once?
08:43The back,
08:44where Holly's actually sat
08:45in most of her waists
08:46needs to be wider
08:47than the front
08:48because otherwise
08:48it'll bounce.
08:49Does that make sense?
08:50And it needs to measure
08:50how big the wheels are.
08:52Otherwise, you're going to slant.
08:56Being girls,
08:58a lot of the girls here
08:59just are thinking about
09:00how pretty it's going to look
09:01and how nice they're going to look
09:02and how they're going to impress
09:04the boys and everything.
09:05It doesn't matter
09:06if you don't hate it.
09:07It's how practical it is
09:09that it's going to make it work.
09:11Everyone's just getting stressed.
09:12But, yeah,
09:13that's what I hate
09:14about doing stuff like this
09:14because we are meant to be a team
09:15and it just, like,
09:16spits people up even more.
09:18With only an hour left tomorrow
09:19to complete the carts,
09:20both teams have a mountain to climb.
09:26Good morning, boys.
09:27Up we get.
09:29I've let you sleep in
09:30for at least three minutes
09:31this morning.
09:33Nearly three weeks in
09:34and the girls and boys
09:35are getting used to the routine.
09:38I see you've all got
09:39your hospital corners right.
09:47But kippers are still
09:48a step too far.
09:50This morning,
09:54there's double physics
09:55for the boys.
09:56In the 1950s,
09:58science lessons
09:58were based around
09:59practical experiments.
10:01Since day one,
10:02the boys have thrived
10:03on the hands-on approach.
10:04In order to work out
10:05the density,
10:05and again,
10:06this is the key
10:06about today's lesson,
10:07certainly the first part,
10:08is that density
10:09is mass divided by volume.
10:11At GCSE,
10:12density is usually taught
10:14from textbooks and diagrams.
10:17It was very different
10:17in the 1950s.
10:19So Archimedes
10:20was puzzling about this
10:22and one day
10:24he got in the bath
10:25and the bath water,
10:28because it had been overfilled,
10:29started to spill over
10:30the sides of the bath.
10:31And all of a sudden
10:34he shouted,
10:34Eureka!
10:36It was because
10:37he'd realised
10:37that the way
10:38that you can measure
10:39the volume of something
10:40which you can't work out
10:42the volume of
10:43is by what we call
10:44displacement.
10:46Instead of sticking
10:47to the theory,
10:48Dr Wilde has devised
10:50a simple experiment
10:51to capture
10:51the boy's imagination.
10:54Using the fattest
10:55and thinnest boys
10:56in the class,
10:57he's going to demonstrate
10:58Archimedes' principle.
11:00Right, go on then,
11:01Jack, in you get.
11:02Very slowly.
11:03Now you've got to
11:04sort of curl yourself
11:04down into the water
11:05and you've got to try
11:07and get completely underwater.
11:13Oh, yeah.
11:15I'm going to push my head down.
11:17No, not everybody, please.
11:20There we go.
11:21No, that's near enough.
11:24Let's see if we can
11:25fit you in this bath,
11:26shall we?
11:28Ah, that's nice.
11:31Is it quite warm, is it?
11:32With the introduction
11:33of the combined science
11:34at GCSE,
11:35the number of boys
11:36choosing physics
11:37as a single science
11:38has dropped
11:39from 50% to 8%.
11:41Right, I think it's fair
11:42to say that what we have
11:43is a slight difference
11:45in the amount
11:46of displaced water.
11:47But for these boys,
11:491950s science
11:50science is a revelation.
11:52Um, we just had
11:53a crazy physics lesson.
11:54They had me, uh,
11:55having a bath.
11:56Uh, first one I've had
11:57in the long mile,
11:57so at least it was
11:59kind of good.
12:00That was actually,
12:00that was one of the best
12:01physics lessons
12:02I've ever had this morning.
12:03That was definitely,
12:03because, like,
12:04just totally out of the ordinary,
12:05like somebody getting in the bath
12:06and they're peak
12:07at, like, 10 o'clock
12:08in the morning.
12:09I'm not taking physics
12:10as an A-level next year,
12:11but if it was, like,
12:12more like it is here,
12:13I probably would.
12:15In the girls' double physics,
12:16the topic is pressure.
12:18The title is hydrostatics,
12:21or hydrostatic pressure,
12:22we'll call it.
12:23Again, the emphasis
12:24is on learning through doing.
12:26That tube there,
12:28despite the fact
12:29that it's very thin,
12:31can produce enough pressure
12:33to race somebody
12:33off the ground.
12:35And attached to the bottom
12:36is a pig's bladder.
12:38And what we're going to do
12:39is pour water
12:41into the bladder.
12:43It's a real bladder.
12:45Unlike the boys,
12:46the girls haven't reacted well
12:47to practical experiments.
12:49It's very...
12:50Don't do that!
12:52...and mooned at the maggots.
12:57I'll just pour
12:58a little water in it first,
12:59just to put a bit of water
13:00in the bladder
13:01so that it's...
13:02I'll tell you when.
13:04Once the bladder is full,
13:05the excess water in the pipe
13:07should create enough pressure
13:08for the bladder
13:09to hold a large weight.
13:11Yeah, it's made for me
13:12to lead away.
13:14Interesting, I know, guys.
13:16To demonstrate my faith
13:17in this experiment...
13:20It's going to pop,
13:20it's going to pop,
13:21it's going to pop,
13:21it's going to pop.
13:23It's not going to pop.
13:25I bet it will.
13:26And you can see
13:27that I'm being held
13:28off the ground
13:28by the hydrostatic pressure.
13:31Yeah, right.
13:33Can I do that?
13:33I'll just walk.
13:34The girls initially
13:35keep their distance,
13:36but before long,
13:37their curiosity
13:38gets the better of them.
13:40Who would like
13:41to walk
13:41the hydrostatic plank?
13:43OK.
13:44Corinne, walk
13:45the hydrostatic plank.
13:47It is all squishing
13:47out of the cockpit.
13:48It's pretty quick, yeah.
13:50Yeah, well,
13:51there is a valve in there
13:52which has a limit to...
13:53Nice.
13:59For the first time,
14:00the girls seem really engaged
14:02in a practical lesson.
14:03Perhaps 50s teaching methods
14:05might finally be changing
14:06their 21st century attitude
14:08to science.
14:09I think the physics here,
14:11it's taught a lot more interesting
14:13and I think it does help you
14:15learn a lot more
14:16because it's more visual
14:18rather than just from
14:19a textbook all the time.
14:20Since I've been here,
14:21I've done about five
14:22or six experiments at least.
14:24We've cut up a rabbit,
14:25we've done the eyeball dissection,
14:26we did the bladder experiment today.
14:28And when you're doing them,
14:29you actually remember things
14:30because you can kind of put
14:31images to the words
14:33that you've learned
14:33so they kind of all
14:34stays in your head.
14:35It's definitely made me
14:36enjoy science a lot more.
14:37Nice.
14:38Doing is always better.
14:44Lesson over,
14:45it's break.
14:46The only time the boys
14:47and girls get to socialise.
14:49In today's mixed schools,
14:51there's a brisk trade
14:52behind the bike sheds.
14:54But back in the 1950s,
14:55romance was a no-no.
14:58Vicar's daughter Vicky Buxton
15:00and school rebel Scott Peters
15:01have been fraternising
15:03since week one.
15:04We have a very firm rule
15:06in this school
15:07called the six-inch rule,
15:09which means that boys
15:10and girls are not allowed
15:13to go within six inches
15:14of each other.
15:15To enforce the rule,
15:17Mr. Williams regularly
15:18patrols the grounds
15:20at break time.
15:22This side of Gilroy,
15:23Jessica,
15:24where I can see you.
15:29But there's no stopping
15:33raging hormones.
15:34I know.
15:35Whoa!
15:38It's used,
15:39well, it's, look.
15:40Look, the squashed bug is on it.
15:43Peters,
15:44Victoria.
15:45Yes, sir?
15:46Would you like to tell Victoria
15:47about my eyesight?
15:49How good it is?
15:50He's got 20 eyes.
15:5120 vision, I think, sir.
15:53So what do you think
15:54I observed
15:55from over there
15:57whilst I was sitting
15:57on the chair?
15:58Because it was fast.
15:59I think there was
16:01the contravention
16:02of the six-inch rule.
16:04So...
16:05Ah, ah!
16:07Excuse me.
16:07Did we break
16:08the six-inch rule?
16:09No!
16:10Oh, please, please, please.
16:12Don't treat me
16:12like an idiot or a fool.
16:14He was behind me.
16:15Don't treat me
16:16like a fool.
16:17Right, you two
16:18back up to the terrace, please.
16:19Oh!
16:22Things aren't looking
16:23good for Scott and Vicky.
16:25Right, just stay here
16:27for the moment.
16:29The contravention
16:29of the six-inch rule,
16:30no more free time
16:32together today.
16:34OK.
16:37What's the word
16:37that we don't like?
16:39All right.
16:39I'm getting bored
16:40of him anyway.
16:41Oh, good.
16:41In that case,
16:42we'll have no free time
16:42tomorrow as well.
16:43Oh, no, I was only joking, sir.
16:44Well, don't joke.
16:46Oh, please.
16:46If you're going
16:47to joke like that,
16:49it means you're not
16:50taking it seriously.
16:51If it means you're
16:52not taking it seriously,
16:53I will impose
16:54a further punishment.
16:56As I went round the corner,
16:58like, away from Mr Williams,
16:59me and Scott
17:00just had a peck,
17:01just pecked on the lips
17:03and that was it
17:03because of the fact
17:04that we're obviously
17:04not going to see each other
17:05for the next few days.
17:06Thinking that Mr Williams
17:07would be able to see us,
17:08we didn't realise
17:09that Miss Gibson
17:09was right in front of us.
17:10How dare you display
17:12that sort of behaviour
17:13on school property.
17:15You have violated
17:16the six-inch rule
17:17quite blatantly.
17:20You will both be punished.
17:24Mr Williams,
17:25we need to deal
17:27with Peters.
17:28I just caught him...
17:30I caught him kissing Victoria.
17:34Trouble.
17:35Oh, really?
17:37Right.
17:38Peters, out here.
17:39Victoria, out here.
17:41Hey.
17:41No more free time together
17:42for the rest of this week.
17:46So, yeah, good day.
17:48In just seven days,
17:57the pupils will sit
17:58their 1950s O-level exams
18:00in a range of subjects
18:01including English.
18:02Put your hand up
18:03if you think you can tell me
18:05why it is important
18:06that you should memorise poetry.
18:10Victoria.
18:11Because if a boy wants
18:12to woo a girl,
18:13then it's best.
18:13That's not why it's important.
18:15Sit down.
18:16In order to get anywhere
18:17on their O-levels,
18:19the girls must be able
18:19to quote large chunks of text.
18:22So each has been given
18:23a different poem,
18:24which they must memorise
18:25and recite to the class.
18:29There's some last-minute
18:30cramming amongst the girls,
18:31but sneaky Amy is resorting
18:34to the age-old
18:34writing-on-the-hand trick.
18:38First up is Kayleigh.
18:39She's reciting London
18:41by William Blake.
18:42Easy enough.
18:44I can't even know
18:44if that's not going to be.
18:47Perhaps not.
18:48I can't even see
18:49the first cry
18:50in every black...
18:53Sorry, I don't know.
18:54Oh, sit down, Kayleigh.
18:55Learning by heart
18:56is a far cry
18:57from what these
18:5821st-century girls
18:59are used to.
19:00In GCSE English,
19:02students can take
19:02annotated text
19:03into their exams.
19:05Half a leak, half a leak,
19:06half a leak onward
19:07in All in the Valley of Death
19:09Road, 600.
19:12I do know it.
19:15Sit down.
19:15I wandered lonely,
19:18lowly as a cloud.
19:21Live on high
19:23over down hill.
19:26Sit down!
19:29I would've been screwed.
19:30She should know by now
19:31that nothing gets past
19:32Miss Gibson's beady eye.
19:34Stand with your hands
19:35behind your back.
19:38Do you think I was born
19:39instead?
19:40Put your hands
19:40behind your back.
19:41I love thee.
19:45Let me count the ways.
19:49I forgot the rest.
19:50Sit down.
19:52De-merit for trying to cheat.
19:54It shows a great
19:55weakness of character.
19:57Are you aware, ladies?
19:59The memory is a muscle
20:02that needs exercising
20:03just the same way
20:05as if you are training
20:06for an athletics event.
20:09The reason we learn poetry
20:11is not just because
20:12it sounds nice
20:13or it's a nice thing
20:14to be able to recite
20:14at family gatherings.
20:16It exercises
20:17your memory muscle.
20:19There is no reason
20:21why intelligent young ladies
20:23cannot memorise
20:25these words.
20:27These GCSE A graders
20:29are falling well short
20:30of 1950s O-level standards.
20:32Some of you
20:33nearly 17 years old.
20:34So how will the boys do?
20:37How do I love thee?
20:38Let me count the ways.
20:42Something
20:42searching
20:45then it goes a bit pear-shaped.
20:49Drama Hodge
20:50by Thomas Hardy.
20:52They throw him
20:53into Drama Hodge
20:54to rest.
20:59I wandered lonely
21:04as a cloud
21:04I wandered lonely
21:06as a cloud
21:07amongst the veils
21:09and hills
21:09All at once
21:10I saw a crowd
21:11A host of golden daffodils
21:12Beside the lake
21:13Beneath the trees
21:14Fluttering
21:14Dancing in the breeze
21:15Continuous
21:16As the stars that shine
21:17And float
21:18along the Milky Way
21:19The boys' memories
21:21are just as feeble
21:22as the girls
21:22but at least
21:23they can cheat
21:24without getting caught
21:25We're going to slightly dance
21:26I'm quite good
21:27at remembering things
21:28and I was so
21:28I've had it so clear
21:30in my mind
21:30before I went out there
21:31and then when I got there
21:32it just
21:32my mind went blank
21:33I didn't have a clue
21:34what I was doing
21:34and I just felt stupid
21:36up there
21:36Nobody really managed
21:37to remember it
21:38because it's quite hard
21:39because we're used
21:39to having like
21:40you know
21:40stuff like anthologies
21:41and stuff
21:42where we don't
21:42we just refer to it
21:43in the exam
21:44a lot of this school
21:45has to do with memory
21:46it's like remembering
21:47the periodic table
21:48remembering poems
21:49remembering mnemonics
21:51and things like that
21:52and in our actual school
21:54there was hardly anything
21:56to do with that
21:57you'd always be given it
21:58you wouldn't have to remember it
22:00having added cheating
22:08to her list of crimes
22:09Amy's decided to jump
22:10before she's pushed
22:11she's asked to see
22:12the headmaster
22:13it just seems
22:16that all I keep doing
22:18is getting into trouble
22:19and when I do
22:19when I do
22:21like make amends
22:22it's never
22:22you know
22:23I'm never praised
22:24for it
22:25or congratulated for it
22:26I'm just
22:26you know
22:27I just wait
22:28until the next time
22:28that I should get
22:29into trouble
22:29and it just seems
22:30to like pile on
22:32and I just really
22:33had enough of it
22:33really
22:34if she thinks
22:35it's just a formality
22:36she's wrong
22:37understand you
22:38wish to leave the school
22:39yes sir
22:40well probably just as well
22:41I am very angry with you
22:44I have found you
22:45to be an insolent girl
22:47your performance
22:48with Dr Shidlow
22:49was unacceptable
22:50you have failed
22:52to reach the standards
22:54that I have set
22:55in this school
22:56and if you wish
22:57to leave my school
22:58Amy
22:59you may do so
23:00with my blessing
23:02do you understand
23:04wow
23:05leave my study
23:07and leave the school
23:09off you go
23:11how would she want
23:11she just proved herself
23:16to be a very weak
23:17self-obsessed girl
23:20of little value
23:23to this school
23:24things have changed
23:26remarkably since the 1950s
23:28in 2005
23:29that sort of behaviour
23:31is pretty much accepted
23:32there's very little teachers
23:34can do
23:35and so children
23:36are getting away
23:36with more
23:37and more
23:38and more
23:38one of course
23:40is bag at the end
23:42of it
23:42and it just
23:42just seems like
23:44a bit of a waste
23:45really
23:45since arriving
23:48at Charles Darwin
23:49the girls and boys
23:50have been taught
23:50separately
23:51in the 1950s
23:54grammar schools
23:54believed that
23:55mixed classes
23:56were detrimental
23:56to academic success
23:58but due to a staff
24:01meeting
24:01the kids must share
24:02an academic lesson
24:03together for the first
24:04time this term
24:05in today's lesson
24:11we are going to be
24:12looking at
24:13Chaucer
24:14and Middle English
24:15would you open
24:17your English books
24:17please
24:18without talking
24:21up to now
24:22there have been
24:23isolated incidents
24:24of disruptive behaviour
24:25in the single sex
24:26classes
24:27but with the girls
24:28and boys sitting
24:28side by side
24:29the whole class
24:30soon becomes
24:31fidgety and giggly
24:32stop talking girls
24:35uh oh
24:36and it's the girls
24:40who are finding
24:41it harder to
24:41concentrate
24:42with the distraction
24:43of a male audience
24:44ah
24:46girls are just as bad
24:52are you showing off
24:53because you're in a
24:53classroom full of boys
24:54no
24:55guess out
24:56I'm not showing off
24:57guess out
24:57how's I showing off
24:59the attitude
24:59guess out
25:00Emily
25:05have a go
25:08at reading
25:10the general prologue
25:11in its middle English
25:12form
25:12right
25:13one that
25:16April
25:16with his
25:17shores
25:18suit
25:19the drought
25:21I guess
25:21I don't know
25:22of March
25:23has
25:23something
25:24to this
25:25something
25:25even swat
25:27Emily
25:28predicted an A star
25:29for drama
25:30is suffering
25:31from stage fright
25:32of which
25:32something
25:33something
25:34Emily
25:35could you at least
25:35attempt it
25:36I've tried
25:39I couldn't read
25:39the normal words
25:40sit down
25:41no good
25:43stop
25:43talking
25:44this is going
25:46to be a very
25:47slow lesson
25:47because I'm not
25:48going to talk
25:48over you
25:48we don't get
25:49done now
25:49we will do
25:50in your free
25:50time tonight
25:51I'm waiting
25:59for the fidgeting
25:59to stop
26:00before I continue
26:00but the girls
26:03just can't contain
26:04themselves
26:05stand up
26:06stand on your
26:11chair
26:11another one
26:13Jessica
26:14standing a nose
26:16to the wall
26:17put your hands
26:18on your head
26:19Ruby
26:19distracted by
26:23the girls
26:23behaviour
26:24the boys
26:25concentration
26:25wanes
26:26are you
26:29annotating
26:30your text
26:30you said
26:31you can annotate
26:32it if you
26:32want
26:33are you
26:38showing off
26:38to the girls
26:39is this what
26:39it is
26:39yes
26:40yes
26:41it seems
26:44that a mixed
26:44environment
26:45is not so
26:46conducive to
26:46learning
26:47I thought
26:50there was this
26:51undercurrent
26:52of disruption
26:53the whole
26:54time
26:54it was
26:55it was
26:55actually
26:55quite a
26:56difficult
26:56lesson
26:56I'm not
26:58sure
26:58that either
26:59the boys
27:00or the
27:01girls
27:01learnt
27:02what I
27:03wanted
27:03them to
27:03learn
27:04I
27:04don't
27:05think
27:05that the
27:06lesson
27:06with the
27:06boys
27:06and girls
27:07mixed
27:07together
27:07was
27:08particularly
27:08successful
27:09in terms
27:11of learning
27:11things
27:12I've actually
27:12enjoyed being
27:13in separate
27:13sex
27:13classrooms
27:14because I'm
27:14getting to
27:15listen to the
27:16teacher more
27:16haven't really
27:17got as many
27:17distractions
27:18and it makes
27:18me look forward
27:19more to free
27:19time because
27:20then I know
27:20that I can see
27:21the boys
27:21I can
27:22already see
27:22myself
27:22improving
27:24actually
27:25which is
27:25quite scary
27:26so I think
27:28this way
27:29of schooling
27:29single-sex
27:30boys without
27:31the distraction
27:32of girls
27:33is actually
27:34quite useful
27:35I don't
27:35find boys
27:36being in
27:36the lesson
27:37a huge
27:37issue
27:38I mean
27:39when I'm
27:39at school
27:39normally
27:40there's
27:40boys there
27:40and girls
27:41say oh
27:41but I do
27:41tend to
27:42talk to
27:42them
27:42a lot
27:42so maybe
27:44I'm
27:44learning
27:45more
27:45bullseye
27:51staff meeting
27:53over
27:53the pupils
27:54are back
27:55in their
27:55single-sex
27:55classes
27:56next up
27:57for the
27:57boys
27:57is art
27:58with
27:58Miss Gibson
27:59and after
28:00the mixed
28:00English
28:01she's in
28:02no mood
28:02for nonsense
28:03this week
28:07the boys
28:07are studying
28:08portraiture
28:08and will
28:09be drawing
28:09matron
28:10right
28:12gentlemen
28:12are you
28:13comfortable
28:13right
28:15so you may
28:15begin
28:15boys
28:15the boys
28:24behaviour
28:25starts off
28:26well
28:26but it
28:35doesn't take
28:36long for
28:36Scott Peters
28:37to get up
28:38Miss Gibson's
28:38nose
28:39you've
28:41excelled
28:41yourself
28:42put some
28:43effort into
28:43the boy
28:44an ape
28:48could do
28:49better
28:49than that
28:49well
28:50then that
28:50ape
28:50might be
28:51going to
28:51draw
28:51damn
28:53you think
28:54you're so
28:54funny
28:55no not really
28:55I just can't
28:56draw
28:56and I think
28:57that's good
28:58there's no sense
29:00of shading
29:00there at all
29:01there's no sense
29:02of proportion
29:02therefore you
29:03have not
29:03actually fulfilled
29:04the objectives
29:05of this lesson
29:06I drew
29:06matron
29:07that's what
29:07I was supposed
29:08to do

29:09do it again
29:10do it again
29:12you will keep
29:15doing it again
29:15until it's better
29:16than that

30:21them
30:21do you agree
30:25that there's actually
30:25no meaning
30:26whatsoever
30:26I don't think
30:29you've ever regretted
30:30a single thing
30:31that you've done
30:31wrong here

30:32I haven't done

31:05Peters is being put into isolation
31:10for the next 24 hours
31:12he will work
31:12eat and sleep
31:13in the school gym
31:14today most schools
31:21bend over backwards
31:22to keep disruptive pupils
31:23in the classroom
31:24back in the 1950s
31:26bad behaviour
31:27simply wasn't tolerated
31:28but Scott Peters
31:29just doesn't get it
31:30I can understand
31:33why they've done it
31:34because everything else
31:35they've tried
31:35hasn't worked
31:36and I'm still the same
31:37but I don't think
31:39I should be here
31:40some of Scott's classmates
31:43might think
31:44he's got off lightly
31:45as they battle
31:46with fractions
31:46in the last fraction
31:49again here
31:49we have x squared
31:51so that's one square
31:52take away
31:534a squared
31:54another square
31:55so how can this be rewritten
31:58but in his absence
32:00there's a very different
32:01atmosphere in the classroom
32:02Headley
32:03is it x plus 2a
32:06x minus 2a
32:07thank you
32:08last lesson with the boys
32:10this morning
32:10was quite interesting
32:12without Peters
32:14being there
32:14and I think
32:15as a result of that
32:16the boys just got on
32:17with it
32:18they were calmer
32:19to begin with
32:20there wasn't that
32:21interruption
32:21there wasn't that
32:22faffing around
32:23there wasn't that
32:23interruption
32:24halfway through
32:25to remind Peters
32:26to sit up
32:26to do this
32:27and it's always fascinating
32:30how taking one person
32:33out of an equation
32:34or putting one person in
32:36can actually change
32:37the dynamics of your lesson
32:39after the passing of this act
32:41Scotland
32:42and the studious mood
32:46continues in English
32:47that's very
32:49on the whole
32:50I think that's
32:51pretty good
32:51Gilroy
32:52could we hear yours
32:53and we're going to tell you
32:53what you can cut out
32:54without Peters
32:56in my English class
32:57the atmosphere
32:57was completely different
32:59the boys were really engaged
33:01needed no chivying
33:03at all
33:03to get on with the work
33:04were asking intelligent questions
33:06and they just seemed
33:07more relaxed
33:08it could have been
33:09a coincidence
33:10that Peters
33:11wasn't in the lessons
33:11this morning
33:12but there was a much
33:13calmer feeling
33:14altogether
33:15and it meant
33:16that some real learning
33:16went on
33:17well now Scott
33:18wasn't in our lessons
33:19all day today
33:19so it was a bit more
33:21quiet than it usually is
33:22we all behaved a little bit better
33:24but I'm not going to say
33:25I don't want him in the lessons
33:26because everyone does
33:27with Scott gone
33:29there's nobody really out there
33:30and even Nathan's
33:31calmed right down
33:32so I don't know
33:33I think it's probably
33:34calmer with Scott gone
33:35but we all want Scott back
33:37because he's a right laugh
33:38of course he's doing
33:40with one day to go
33:47until the race
33:47the girls and boys
33:48crack on with their go-karts
33:50special announcement
33:52for the completion
33:53of the race
33:54and the winner of the race
33:55the prize will be
33:57fish and chips
33:58for all the winning teams
34:00so either it's the girls
34:01or the boys
34:02fish and chips
34:03for the entire team
34:05that is the prize
34:06so keep at it
34:07some very good work
34:09is being done
34:09with good grub
34:11up for grabs
34:12competition is mounting
34:13between the girls
34:14and the boys
34:15there's industrial espionage
34:28on both sides
34:29but it's the girls
34:34who resort to dirty tricks
34:35they're not your wheels
34:36they're not your wheels
34:36they are our wheels
34:37they are our wheels
34:38what are you doing
34:39get that
34:40they're not your wheels
34:42they're not your wheels

34:50we're going to beat you anyway
34:51so you might as well just have the wheels
34:53if you're going to be that texy about it
34:54but these are our wheels
34:56that you can't beat
34:57thank you
34:57thank you
34:58victorious i mean come on you have to play dirty at some point so we did quite well we kept them
35:06for a while not very lady like that after that i'm going to make sure we're going to win i'm not i'm
35:12not having that and losing i'm not having them laughing in our faces we have to win have to
35:19both cards are beginning to take shape while the boys concentrate heavily on the mechanics
35:24so you're going to be right okay that looks very good the girls are more interested in making theirs
35:30look pretty tomorrow's race will be the ultimate battle of the sexes
35:45let's see it's the end of the day and the rumor mill is in full swing what has happened to scott peters
35:51peters disappearing investigation we don't know where peters is we don't know what's happened to
35:57him you know he could have been expelled we don't know you've got people like vicky walking around
36:02sobbing oh he's gone he's gone you've got people like khadir going oh he isn't gone he's just in
36:07isolation i don't think he has actually been expelled yet apparently they've got to talk to their
36:11governors or something so and they won't talk to them till tomorrow and i asked the head boy about
36:17it hudson and he said that it's 95 percent um true that the fact that you know like he's going to
36:24get expelled so apparently the headmaster wants him to stay but some other people want him to leave
36:29there's loads of stuff going around but i'm not really sure what's happening people kept on telling
36:32me that he was gone and there was big commotion and big spare speculation about oh he's gone now
36:37we seem to get into a car with the security vans all right little do they know he's tucked up in bed
36:42just a few meters away good night peters and i'll see you in the morning
36:52it's a new day and after 24 hours isolation scott peters is about to be summoned to see the headmaster
36:59right you need to gather your things together and come with me
37:12stand in front of me please peters you've completed 24 hours of isolation whether or not you found that
37:18arduous or not i don't know i'm telling you now fairly and squarely that this will be the last time
37:25you'll be standing in front of me on a disciplinary issue because the next time that i will be telling
37:30you to pack your bags and to leave this school and you will leave in disgrace you'll go back into the
37:36school now and i expect you to join into school life in a positive earnest manner do you understand
37:42what i'm saying yes leave the room please come on dude
37:49we already lost that one girl peters gets a hero's welcome
38:00but vicky down to approach him if he breaks the six-inch rule again he'll be expelled
38:05this is like the worst ever punishment in the world
38:10oh they're gonna be as soon as that as soon as they get rid of that punishment they're gonna be watching
38:15so closely because they know exactly what i've seen tomorrow so i'll just sod it just go for it
38:21oh look you're like glowing now
38:26he thinks needs to go to the headmaster then i'm gone and
38:29that's about it so basically just on your final one final final yeah so has 50's discipline had any
38:33impact on this teenage miscreant um my attitude has changed now because number one i i didn't know
38:39how bad it felt when i thought i was going to get excluded until this morning because i thought i was
38:43going and i was just so upset and then when i came out and i just saw everyone's faces and everyone
38:47was happy and like vicky started being happy again everyone tell me i must be i just don't
38:51want to go now i just want to stay till the end so i'm going to just try not to get expelled
39:03yes race day it's the end of the third week at charles darwin
39:07and time for the eagerly anticipated go-kart race
39:13what do we got
39:20your signs are better than your car
39:24i don't know theirs is like literally a skateboard
39:27will it be the girly go-kart or the macho machine that wins the day
39:46each team must complete five laps of the course changing driver each lap
39:50can i just remind you the winning team will be rewarded with a sumptuous meal
39:58of fish and chips
40:02the losers get precisely nothing remember what the ancient greeks taught you coming second is nowhere
40:09there so it's all about winning on your marks set go oh go go
40:26the boys are off to a good start leaving the girls to struggle with a loose tire
40:30and the girls are back on it
40:46by the end of the third lap it's neck and neck
41:02come on
41:05but the boys are having trouble negotiating their weighty cart round the slalom and lose a wheel
41:16the girls are down the boys resort to carrying their cart
41:30but it's too little too late as the girls complete their final lap
41:34the guys made like a boat man
41:48a rendition of the school anthem rubs salt into the boys wounded egos
41:58and bad luck lads uh yeah i'm really disappointed because like i've seen saying
42:07earlier that oh yeah we ha ha and we lost i think i feel how every other girl feels you know
42:12the fact that not only have we won something but we've won something that the boys are expected
42:17to win at i think that it's a good victory and all of the girls put something into that car
42:20they still put something into it and it's just wicked that we won so cool
42:24to the victors go the spoils
42:28oh my god oh my god for the losers liver stew and boiled carrots
42:43and boys i think it was actually one of the best days that we won the go-karting competition
42:54come on the girls it was it was so funny the battle of the sexes at the moment the girls are kicking
43:01our asses like oh we are just doing so badly everyone at the beginning was like boys are better than
43:07girls but at the moment the girls are beating this and everything
43:19as a special treat the school has organized a dance
43:24matron has lent the girls her lipstick
43:26let's go out girls let's go out
43:33my nan and given the boys brill cream and aftershave
43:39people are all making efforts trying to do their hair but i'm like how
43:42how is hair going to help when you're dressed in a white shirt swag shoes and
43:47gray socks and how is doing your hair going to help like oh your hair's nice but you look stupid
43:53to cap it all the six inch rule has been suspended
43:57i promised kaylee a dance um yeah sam first obviously so yeah hopefully we'll do a bit of
44:03the old bump and grind you know
44:05whoa negotiating the sexual politics of a school dance is a tricky business when you're 16.
44:10like at the moment all the girls like saying who they want to dance with and everything and
44:14ingram asked me to dance joe's gonna ask holly because they're good mates and um well kaylee
44:20wants to dance with hudson but as whether he'll ask we don't know because we all know that she likes
44:24him but he doesn't really like her or something and like scott and vicky obviously um i don't know i
44:29think most people have kind of got people they want to dance with they're not really saying who
44:34you right ready girls when you come in go to the far side of the room please far side of the room
44:48boys and girls good evening welcome to the charles darwin school darts
44:53just like to remind you boys and girls that the six inch rule is relaxed this evening
45:13there's no fags no booze and certainly no ease but all the kids are having a great time even if
45:25it's not cool i'm worried about what people are going to think of me now but i don't care because
45:30i'm having fun it's good because we don't get this we just have lessons all day and now we're just
45:35having a little bit of fun so it's cool appreciate it oh yeah this tonight's been the funnest night i've
45:40had here ever it's so funny it's totally different like all the teachers are different all the people
45:46like even if you haven't talked to them or got on with them as soon as like you just start dancing
45:50it's just you just like forget everything it's just so much fun to do
45:58it's the calm before the storm next week the kids will be sitting genuine 1950s o levels
46:04will the girls rule the roost or will the boys fight back
46:10next week on that'll teach them peters is in trouble again how much more have we
46:21i've had it up to here exams exams and more exams this freaking guy
46:30ladies and gentlemen this freaking guy peters stay getting in trouble and the other
46:34uh young lady gone with the wind ladies and gentlemen if you've made it this far you're
46:40probably gonna guess the cold words here fish and chips ladies and gentlemen i just can't help
46:46myself ladies and jets so hope you enjoyed it let's chat about it ladies and gentlemen um you guys can be
46:53the the judge as well if you enjoyed the episode obviously you know let me know in the comments down
46:58below felt like this was great i was definitely really looking forward to you know the race um
47:05you know the competitive side in me never never gets old i don't care if it's a video game if it's
47:12a race uh you know a sports competition whatever i'm competing giving it everything i got so
47:19slight disappointed by my boys they didn't pull out the dub there the ladies had
47:24you know a much more slim design definitely even more kind of like a soapbox these guys was building
47:31like a raft in here and oh what the hell kind of design they were building there but somebody should
47:38have been like yo this shit is way too wide so you got to maneuver it now if it would what i initially
47:43thought when they were going to do this race thing right i thought they were going to go down like
47:48some hill so yeah then maybe uh they would have had a a chance but the girls had you know more
47:54practical kind of on the shape like a surfboard but also i was thinking like an ironing board i
47:59know might sound stupid but you know so it's very slim design easy to kind of turn the other guys
48:06things yeah with those wheels that they had you know it had wide and then the weird one in the back
48:12and stuff so it was like a weird ass design there so i'm like damn man these guys did not bring their
48:18a game there but you've got to applaud the girls the girls did good i mean um
48:24i was surprised you know but at the same time once you already kind of heard that this girl
48:29um has one at home and i'm like oh man this is that's that is game over for the boys
48:36i don't think that they're gonna pull through and right now
48:40statistically here the girls are way ahead of the guys so you know maybe before i would say with some of
48:48the physical uh science stuff the guys were doing well but the girls started getting into it and i'm
48:54one of those dudes that's like you need to allow me to you know like if somebody's just talking
49:01talking talking i'm probably gonna zone out this is you know class stuff like this is how i was
49:08um you know it's a skill that i work on even to this day because you know because sometimes
49:12you know somebody might have a kind of a monotone voice it's boring you know like and i will just
49:19zone out in class and i'd get in trouble so this was like you know the best way for me to learn
49:27is by physically doing stuff so some teachers allowed us to do physical stuff you know the
49:31chemistry the experiments uh you know um i don't know the physics stuff you know all those type of
49:38classes i may not have done well physically on test tests but when it came to the experiments and all
49:43that i would do you know i would do all right again i was not no great uh student only in certain
49:49classes that i excel but um you know there was sometimes the math i was bad at and it was crazy
49:57because i just didn't really put the effort in like i early on i did then like towards like
50:05middle school going into high school like i just completely zoned out of it and i didn't apply
50:10myself and it's not that i was dumb or anything like that in those moments yeah i felt dumb you
50:15know what i mean but i just never applied myself when i applied myself in college a little bit more
50:19yeah i was i was surprised i was like all right man i can do this stuff but the way that
50:25the um the girls for example when they were reading um she was reading something she froze up
50:32many many many times in school did i freeze up get embarrassed know the answer but couldn't
50:40say the answer just like my mind was blank like that kid where he had that face like
50:46you know it was like that holy shit like i just forgot the the poetry had a lot of moments where
50:51those were some of the toughest moments for me to do the presentations in front of the class in
50:57front of the group you know you're always afraid you're gonna you know mess up people are gonna laugh
51:02at you etc etc so there was plenty of times that i just goofed up i just hated and dreaded doing
51:09presentations in front of the class there was just the anxiety through the roof couldn't sleep for it
51:16it was it was a nightmare man um it was some it was some tough times for me but seeing these kids
51:22have similar kind of traits similar things struggling a little bit you know that made me feel a little
51:27bit better you know i'm like uh you know again we're all we're all similar in in retrospect uh i
51:33think that yeah a lot of the things that these kids are doing similar to probably what you guys do
51:38as well or have done you know some were scholars you know doing well in class we always had that
51:44then you have the knuckleheads kids getting in trouble so with them taking out peters it's usually
51:51again i mean i i know we've had they've had issues with like for example the first series with
51:56mccready um and and sometimes that ron apple you know starts spreading to everybody else you know
52:03if you have one kid that's being kind of rotten he starts infecting the other kids and um you can see
52:09yeah they like him you know um yeah he's cool he's funny yeah because he's been he's getting in trouble
52:13and so he's giving you entertainment but when it comes to your learning you know he's a distraction
52:19at least he's one of the distractions because there was two girls in the class um when they
52:24brought the mixed class back that yeah you start you started seeing the girls started it up and then
52:30after a while i mean it's gonna get encouraged the guys to start acting up as well so the girls in
52:35many instances were the bad app but you know being bad with uh cheating looking to see what the boys
52:43was doing and shit i mean that's cheater shit man that's no good sportsmanship stuff uh so i would
52:48have not liked that if i'm going back in time back into my youth because again competitive um i'm very
52:55competitive that yeah i i wouldn't like that shit i would be probably pissed off that they would be
53:00cheating and shit uh so we probably would be having words but yeah this was a dope episode
53:05again peter's stay getting in trouble says one thing and then it's like next time uh peter's
53:10getting in trouble again i'm like what the freak man this kid doesn't learn his lesson uh and maybe
53:15it's not going to learn his lesson um you know and then you know them kissing and um after getting
53:22scolded then they're like the girl gave the smart ass response she tried to be a jokester but the
53:28joke was on her you know what take an extra day on it you know you don't need to see him another day
53:33and then now it's a week because they kiss and shit so you know boys and girls gonna be uh boys and
53:38girls i mean you know especially you gotta think okay you are isolated you know boys over there girls
53:46over there so the hormones kicking these kids are teenagers and you know the hormones are kicking at
53:53those ages and you know they just they want to let loose a little bit so i think that it was cool
54:00that they got the um you know the dance time because they got on why i mean there's only so
54:04much learning you can do and i'm a firm believer like depending on how long the classes colleges have
54:10this issue to me to me at least when i was going you have these extreme long classes sometimes it was
54:16like a three four hour class i'm like what ain't nobody learned past one two hours you zoned out of that
54:21you're not really learning and um you know you need to have some extra outlets and uh the the
54:28drawing class was really cool my man's was drawing south park you know that teacher i forgot his name
54:34right now but it looked like the south park it didn't even look like the matrix oh my god i love
54:40the drawing class i did life drawing i did all types of drawing college was the one that shocked me
54:46when i did the life drawing when i was like what the hell new model and shit like mr bean episodes
54:52and shit like you know you know it's not like that but oh man this was a good episode it's always good
54:57to see um you know where kids stack right now and right now honestly i think the girls are pulling
55:04ahead i mean there's no there's no way to sugarcoat it they they you know they they they dominating right
55:10now the boys so can the boys catch up or is it too late are they going to still get more in trouble
55:16i gotta stay tuned to watch but i have been just absolutely enjoying it thank you guys for hanging
55:21out appreciate you all don't forget to you know like comment subscribe it's free it helps out and
55:26you know thanks for kicking it i'll see you soon peace
