Haha the TVs on wheels in North Wing of my secondary school (showing my age here for anyone else here that grew up in Calne!) were in a cupboard at the front of the class - I remember once a supply teacher going in to get one and a lad locking her in!

To be fair if you have planned a whole lesson around say, a short film clip or something it can be a right pain in the ass
Exciting times as a kid seeing this wheeled in to class.



I remember one history lesson where we watched Blackadder for an hour, brilliant.

it gets wheeled in,  then you spend 20 minutes watching the teacher struggle to set it up. then the kids do it in 2 second..

What was it about teachers that they uniformly could not operate even the most basic piece of technology? Even the younger ones!

Who was that really old supply teacher that was at Bradon back in our day? I remember he told us he had one instruction, which was to put a video in for us to watch... by the time he got it going the lesson was over. Poor old chap.

Mr West? He was a great supply teacher, couldn't give two shits about any lesson plan and basically just used to let us do what we wanted for an hour.

Mr Boye(s?)?

He was ace, so old he had no idea what was going on around him and you could get him to completely ignore the lesson plan by asking him about the war and sitting back.

That's the one. What a guy... I remember we spent a lesson asking the most ridiculous questions ever to get him going. "So, we won the first world war but we lost the second one right?? Wasn't Hitler from Spain?". Ah, good times.

we often had this women for a supply teacher. wish I'd asked her more about it instead of setting it as a duty to twat around

Not quite that simple Seb, the documentary is fascinating, the director of which was always disappointed there wasn't any moving images of the French fella on the wire, only photographs, so he's made a film of it. The guy was on the wire for something like 2 hours...
