Jessica's chubby yr 7 sidekick is just a whole mood
ikr
adz II ikr
He reminds me of like a Disney pixar side character 😂😂😂
My man was eavesdropping 😂😂😂😂
He's jokes
I have to say, it’s great to actually see one of the quiet kids being noticed by the school for a change
She’s not quiet, seems annoying tbh
yeah
@@user-cy4pq7ep7y how ?
I Never get noticed accept for the time of my life i called the Emo because i went from Happy to Emo because of terrible friends but i am fine now
@@user-cy4pq7ep7y why because she is too smart for you or something
Mr Hennessy is legit the perfect teacher. He’s strict when he needs to be but really wants the best for his students. You know he could have a laugh with you as well as give a detention when needed.
Yes, I had a teacher just like that. I had to go into his lesson to ask him for some rulers because we had run out. He did this comedy routine where he tried to look for the rulers in his shoe. He eventually went to the back and got a handful of rulers. He gave them to me and I told him, I only need one. His head dropped and the class burst out laughing. Apparently he was in a really bad mood before I came in so that made me quite happy
i like jessicas favourite teacher my main teacher is like that teacher
He is my fav teacher
I had a girl with the same personality as Jess back in high school, she was so smart it was unbelievable. While the rest of us was struggling with Biology she would learn as the words were coming out of the teachers mouth. She barely spoke to anyone. She went on to become a surgeon.
That’s awesome
autism
Sounds possibly autistic.
YOU CAN JUST TELL THAT JESSICA IS THAT KID WHO REMINDS THE TEACHER OF THE HOMEWORK THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT
Elise C this triggered some kind of flight or fight reaction in me
you can tell she’s defo a greb
That's me too
Ruby Lush everyone must hate u well not hate u but dislike that part of u
Elise C she’s one of the tps that everyone doesn’t like lols
If Mr Hennessy moved to my school he would rank in the top three nicest teachers.
He's not really like that he put it on for the camera
@THE NEW MONKEY yeah I bet you've got a really good job mate, how's cleaning the school toilets been going for you?
At
Can fucking agree with that 😂
@THE NEW MONKEY back problems
the 'strict' teacher is one of the nicest teachers i've ever seen
Believe me he's strict because I went to this school lol
@@AshaNimo1 really? Is it a nice school ,
@@AshaNimo1 I really like the uniform
He looks nice but he's strict
I actually have a teacher that is exactly like Mr Hennessy, my maths teacher Mr Parlor. Hes an amazing guy, smart and very kind but he can put you in your place when needed, my first day in class he sent someone out and yelled so loud it scared the living shiz outta me. I love him, hes my role model 100%.
Mr Hennessy is amazing he almost made me cry, definitely has a soft side for everyone and works great in his job making sure all students are safe, but also making sure they’re punished properly for their misbehaviour and actions. So lovely

I’m always so jealous of these kids lol. They actually have decent teachers and a support system that doesn’t tell your parents about issues they REALLY don’t need to know about

So true

Has anyone noticed she was smoking
Or a slap by parents
Me Hennessy is the sweetest guy- if they think he’s strict, they should come to my school and see what being strict actually means
dominikabiel FOR REALLLL
SIMP
M8 are you dumb he’s obviously acting nicer because of the cameras
Arthur what
If he is telling them they need to follow the rules and he making sure they follow them then he is strict that's the definition of strict
I feel bad for Jessica, everyone in this comment section is talking shit about her. Why? Because she's doing what she's told and following the rules? She is probably pretty successful in life because she probably got great grades in her leaving exams and her GCSE's
I agree
It's more because she comes off as rude I think and also kinda obnoxious
@@letitiajackson4090 I don’t think she is rude at all, maybe a little „cold“ and weird, but I guess it’s also a cultural thing for me since I’m German lol.
Alright I didn’t know Jessica had a UA-cam account
@@letitiajackson4090 no your correct she just seems like a massive goon
Woah, Mr, Hennessy really goes above and beyond for his beloved students. He tries his damnest to try and make sure all his students will make it through. Such a determined and caring man. Also, Jessicca seriously warms my heart, what a sweetheart.
Jessica is gonna get hammered if some of these ‘popular’ kids see what she said about them
Shadow Lander the ‘popular’ kids need to hear it. they’re pathetic tbf
🤣🤣slapped aboutmate
This was made years ago it's just a reupload
Jessica was lovely TBF
LOL, the "popular" troublemakers are probably working for Jessica now..... serving her lunch, chauffering her around, etc.
That school must be so nice if they think Mr Hennessy is the strictest
He is lol I went to the school and he does the meanest shit out of camera
Asha Nimo What was he like
@@AshaNimo1 please spill
@@AshaNimo1 spill the tea 😂😂
Yep. I had two teachers at school, both fired.
One was a creep and had an inappropriate relationship with a student. Basically he kissed this girl and stuff. Then he suddenly disappeared and wound up in the local paper.
The other was very strict and like everyone hated him. He threatened to pull someone’s earrings out and then boom! The sack.
So yeah compared to these teachers Mr Hennessy is an Angel, but also I’ve never met him.
That boy who wrote something into Jessica's Box first, made her day. If I ever meet that boy I will full on hug him x
How cute is Benjy tho, melting my heart 😅 “would you like to speak to my associate”… 😂

11:52 "I don't think he can see us " * as he stares directly at them 😂😂😂
Yep 🤣
HAHAHAHA
I think Leah impressed me most. The fact that she preserved to achieve what she did. Well done to her.
the teachers telling jessica to "adapt parts of her personality" for the real world really just speaks to how restricting the uk school system really is, trying to put kids in boxes. there is nothing wrong with jessica's personality: she seems hard-working, intelligent and sensitive. all the teachers should be worried about is whether she herself is happy and confident.
I agree
timestamp?
100% she's just mature above her age, which doesn't matter outside of school because you work alongside all ages on the same level.
I think their intentions were to get her to collaborate more with other people but it’s sad that her personality wasn’t rlly accepted
The headteacher was concerned that socially she was lagging behind, despite being very intelligent. She was in danger of becoming a socially-isolated adult. She wasn't trying to get her to conform to the norm, but instead was helping her to prepare for the real world. Getting her to edit the newspaper was a clever way to channel her ability and enthuisiasm in a way that involved her cooperating with others, rather than sticking in a bubble. Great teaching imo
when leah said “ i don’t like...me “ i felt that

@@breakfastattiffanys741 agreed
The school should be very proud of helping Leah to 8 GCSE’s between grades B-C. She could’ve easily left school with nothing; the ‘Educating...’ shows are all excellent - sad to see some of the comments on here being critical of children though, not a lot of perspective or thought put into some of the words used!
you seem like one of the nicest people in this comment section 💀
Funny enough, I was watching her on the verge of bombing out with zero qualifications and she ended up with better results than me and I was one of the high-achievers at my school. Quite a humbling revelation!
I love how thoes boys helped Jessica it was so nice

This is emotional. I am 47 now. No teacher ever cared for me. I lie. Mr Gisbon, History bought me an airfix model to get me interested. I struggled in home life and school. I wish this had been my school. Mr Hennessy is a legend..

They probably couldn’t interfere with the students as it would affect the show.
The job of a documentary filmmaker is to be an observer, not affect the narrative. If they were going to jump in a river, they'd have stopped them.
I really think Leah got the potential and I understand her for being depressed and all. She’s gonna do great

Some statistics on the school from 2018:
- 44% of students received free school meals, well above the national average of 17%.
- 68% of students come from the 20% of most deprived areas in the UK.
- 1/3 students learnt English as a second language.
- 41% of students have SEN (dyslexia etc.), well above the national average of 21.5%.

Mr Hennessy is one of those teachers who appears really strict but once you get to know him, he's not all that bad.
There is no such thing.
Im disgusted by the way people are talking about Jessica. She's smart, she trys her best to do well, and she's gonna be the one to do well in life. Just because you act like others, not coming to school, smoking etc. Jessica is who you should be using to help you out, not fucking bullying her
Chill out
@@not_reztyyt3870 no
I absolutely agree. She is a top student and a lovely girl who is definitely going to go far in life. People who lower themselves to make fun of a girl like Jessica must be jealous that they never cared enough to go their own way and actually try at their education.
she said in an update that she didn't like how she was portrayed - i.e them making it seem like she had no friends, when she did have a group of friends in the school. she's done well for herself at least.
Exactly if anything we need more people in the world like her
Hoping that Channel 4 will bring back the Educating series because if you think it was a tough world for them back in whatever year this was recorded. Imagine what our students are going through now with COVID-19
Never mind that, consider the world we’ll be in at some point in the future, the talk of austerity in the previous “Educating...” series will look like nothing.
Educating CROYDON I NEED IT NOOOWWW

It's so nice watching these because it literally takes you right back to being in a school uniform in one of those classrooms, and even the teachers in this are recognisable. Like even though they weren't at my school I feel we had these 'character types' of teachers if you get me.
34:46 when she said ‘ i don’t like asking for help’ I felt that
Same here
bruh how is he strict, he's just a well organised man. my teachers are just genuinely mean and put me in detention cos they feel like it.
Relatable
Lemon_Sh33p exactly
i got a 2 week isolation because i ‘looked angry’
Same. I dropped a pencil and got a detention. Then I was about one minute late for class and got sent to isolation for disrespecting teachers. What!?
Yeah but it just pisses me off cuz I'm just tryin to talk to my friend WHILE doing the work and still get a detention even tho when they was lookin I was WORKIN like fjrjjdf
Imagine one of the teachers discussing his affair with a year 9 student and some random fat year 7s noting it down
That would get the newspaper sp popular 🤣🤣🤣
Fuck off this made me laugh too much 😂
This video made me cry. That text from Leah… broke my heart
IS SHE CHEWING GUM!!!🤯😠😧😧 in our school, if the teachers even see gum in our pockets they confiscate it and give us detention.

We get an hour and 30 minutes after school if we eat gum. Who gives a shit gums nice
Most one of my class had no gum teacher hate it from USA
mono who eats gum
And because its normal to have teachers texting students and smoking in the middle of the yard
Will Fifield because the children will keep smoking regardless of punishment, they’d rather let them smoke than put them in isolation and lose out on education
LMAOO our teachers gave upp and didnt give a shit by the end of the year so everyone just smoked with the teachers 💀

So you’re a geek then yeah?
I dont even remember half the stuff I get taught anyway
I was Jessica. Literally. Exactly. From journalism to the perfectionism. I became an English teacher. A really excellent one.👍
Modest too….
How has leah got 8 GCSEs with B-C grades with such irregular behaviour? She's really intelligent.
That's what I thought tbh. I was like her in terms of not liking being at school, serious attendance problems in high school, despite getting good grades all the way up to around age 14. I put in almost a token effort during the last couple of months as i was in danger of flunking my exams. I ended up with 6 GCSEs at that grade, so did worse than her. I think maybe 1 or 2 kids in my year (about 130 pupils) got better grades than me. The school I attended was in a really poor area of Liverpool, so most children (and their parents) were not interested in education, which made it a "challenging" learning environment. The area (Knowsley) is currently in the bottom 1% for living standards in the UK.
Jessica’s the type of person to thank the vending machine
Omg this comment has made my day 😭😂
when i told you i cried -😭🤚
I would say thank you to the vending machine
Lmao
Just spat my drink out 💀
What pisses me off with schools is most the teachers attention goes on one or two bad students so the rest of the normal kids just getting bye but not being (naughty) get forgotten about and fall behind
Exactly they do the smallest thing good at get all the praise its annoying. I get they need a bit more help but this is how kids go 'bad' cause they want praise to
There’s only so much staff, teachers are incredibly overworked and underpaid. So it’s hard to give constant praise and one on one attention to literally every student.
@@leann4265 Ik I'm not asking for every student to get constant praise. All I'm asking is they should give praise to the 'normal' students every now and then. They shouldn't focus all the attention on one or a group of people. Ya know
jessica I get that, I think we all would have wanted a little bit more from some teachers. It’s hard on both sides of the situation
@@leann4265 Yeah I get what you mean. As you said teachers are very overworked and underpaid.
I started with educating yorkshire. I'm now binge watching this and the occasional episode really does make you tear up. It's teacher's like Mr Hennessy that are not credited enough. All teachers are amazing but the special few like him need some extra credit. I hope he reads this one day. Keep up the amazing work sir. You make me want to subscribe to a PMA and I'm 34. Never too old to learn
im screaming at the boy finding out the teacher's phobias. it is everything I wish I had the confidence to do.
I know what a legend!

girl: well my cousin did it...
being 21, i wish i had jessica’s mindset when i was in school. i struggled a lot to fit in so did things i shouldn’t have done instead of thinking about my future and getting on with it. then my mental health struggled and i didn’t do as well as i could’ve done in my gcse’s and i didn’t even do my a levels. had the opportunity to do an access course over the last year and now i’m waiting to hear back from some really good uni’s. i just wish i could’ve done this sooner rather than later! weird to see so many people bashing her in the comments.
also yes we share the same name lmao but i’m not her, clearly lmao

If mr Hennessy was a teacher in my school hed be the least strict teacher
Hennessy was my math teacher 2012-2016 he was a CUNT believe me so.
This is a very good school, with a lot of emotionally intelligent teachers.
The teachers there were brilliant. The Headmistress was wonderful, kind and encouraging. Mr Hennessy is great, the students seem to think he’s strict but he’s the funniest teacher I’ve ever seen.
I blame Leahs parents for her issues. Especially knowing the brother and sister also had the same issues with attendance/dropping out and not putting in effort. It’s sad, because Mr. Hennessy is going above and beyond his duty as a teacher to help her.
Never mind it was just me phoning you as she strolls around the corner 😂

Why everyone attacking Jessica I feel like she’s right 💀
“And then you’ve kind of got... me.” I felt that Jessicca
I think what Jessica needs to realise, is that different people have different goals in life. Them “cool kids” probably have no real ambitions, while she does, so she needs to look at the people that are similar to her, and not those who don’t really deserve her attention.
Mohammad Al Masri there isn’t much kids like her trust me that school is crazy
Those kids are 15/16 years old they got plenty of time to figure out their life
smells like a superiority complex. loud popular kids dont deserve to talk to jess bc she's too smart and serious? just because kids are funny and likeable doesn't mean they don't take things seriously. as evidenced, quiet ambitious kids can learn a lot from them.
Mohammad Al Masri *those “cool kids”
Dana Pink not really, before you know it your in debt and homeless, you can have fun in your teenage years whilst still paying attention in school, it's not hard.
Mr. Hennessy is kinda cute, going out of his way to support the students and being a grumpy boss, I like him
This Welsh school is a thoroughly wholesome environment for chilfren to learn. Well done Cardiff, the teachers are on a winning streak.
Jessica will be absolutely fine without having to adapt her personality to the real world...her personality is good! She's driven, hard working, sensitive and so much more organised than a lot of adults. The teachers are making it sound like it's abnormal at school... 'quirky...really?!'
Trust me it doesn't work in the professional world, there's much more to life than studying and exams, she may have the intellect but there's always someone with just as good grades, you need to have good social skills with other people and be very articulate to go far in life.
You can see she's generally quite uncomfortable talking with others, and has extremely low confidence. Obviously it depends on what type of job you get but it's not all just about working hard, you need other skills as well.
Siôn Duggan Yeah work on her confidence then that’s it at least she’ll be bette Ethan leav
763 jt will
763 so you would rather her muck about
Mr Hennessy is actually so so so nice and sweet like if I had him he would be my favourite teacher he seems like he does not put up with crap but at the same time help and support you, like honestly!
