Teachers Taste Their Own Medicine in Mock Exams | Waterloo Road 

What teachers often forget is that the students have to prepare for many different subjects, not just the one the teacher teaches.

This was an absolutely genius idea from Eddie.

Thing is I understand why she was kicked out because it was super disruptive but then also she can’t help it, which is why I’m glad schools now split these types of students into different rooms than the main body of the exam takers

Funny how all of the teachers showed up to the exam just for a bottle of whiskey 😂

That served the teachers right didn't it. I'd love to be a foreign languages teacher but I'd struggle for sure if someone put a physics paper in front of me. Shows the teachers it's hard to do several subjects at once.

Lol Grantley actually felt bad about kicking Karla out of the exam.

I remember approving of this storyline, and I still do. How do adults know that exams are easier "these" days? They're not the ones doing them. It made no sense adults saying it when I was in school, and I would never say it about todays kids now I'm an adult, because how could I possibly know they're easier?

"GCSE students have to do at least 5" lol mate I had 11

Eddie was the best deputy

Eddie was the only one who treated Karla properly he's my favourite

Grantley realising that it’s not an English Exam: 👁👄👁

i wish schools were actually like this

How ironic that Jasmine said “I don’t know anything about physics” but gets the highest grade in the class!

Eddie and Andrew Treneman were the best deputies Waterloo Road had by far!!!!

I sat 15 GCSE’s, and my teachers mocked me because I failed 4 so only got 11. Retaining all that information is bloody hard!

Sad that not much has changed about how some teachers see students with learning difficulties

I absolutely love the way the teachers think that it's easy to do this exam when it's their own subject but they didn't think about the fact that as Mr Lawson says the students have to do five. I remember how difficult my gcse exam was and it definitely wasn't just a walk in the park for me. I hope that Eddie returns at some point to join Chlo, Donte and Kim when it returns this year

Granlty: what? You want us to sit an exam

Lol Grantly is hilarious even if his character is selfish and ignorant.

bob the builder was the best character on this show

seasons 1 - 5 were the best

Good acting by Neil Morrissey

6:40 grantly picking his nose and flicking it 😂

I would've love to see the student's faces if they found out that their teachers had to take an exam.

I love watching these videos because I love Waterloo Road

One of the best sub plots of any episode!

Who else thinks of the Eddie Stobart documentaries with the introduction music to this video?😂

This was my favourite episode

One of my favourite scenes ever!

Series 3 episode 11 is a fantastic episode

almost on season 4! love the show!

Swot!!! 😂

Jasmine should've failed for not stopping when the time ran up. None of those teachers would've passed

In the later series They got Georgia Windsor to replace Grantley Simon lowsley to replace Tom Rob Hutchinson to replace Max Tyler and Simons wife sue to replace Helen hopewell and none of them worked out

Good on you ed

god i love Neil Morrisey

Why don’t the teachers take the exams instead of us?

Love it

Excuse me but I was all out of pithouli oil and whale music

I remember sitting my GCSES in 2002. Had 1 exam each day. Went home with a migraine almost everyay. Can't believe its been 20 years. I definitely couldn't pass an exam now in school now . I reckon their harder than when I wa at School

To be fair they didn’t really fail except grantley, but at the time of the show a D was a pass, in away that’s impressive, thst he got a passing mark, considering he hasn’t done French in like 40 years

No don’t u mean she responded to the stress exactly what I said

At least 5? English language, English literature, French, geography, history, physics, chemistry, biology, ICT, citizenship, R.E, P.E theory, I had 12 😂

Old Waterloo

What Episode and series

Eddies so nice.

My gcse exams were hard got D and E I had to functional for years to get to level 2

0:47 I’m sorry, but, why is Karla still in Grantly’s class after what happened in the premiere episode of the series?

Grades were e-a* when i was in school... i retook my gcse's in my third year of college and thats when it changed to 9-1... minimum for me was 4

I can relate to Carla

What series is this

Am sorry I know that this is a show but the attitudes of the staff are disgusting and quite frankly I don’t blame Eddie for doing what he did

it's my friend's birthday on Tuesday and im sure it would make her day if she could get some birthday messages from you guys! if you could comment on this post ill be sure to show her!

Okay youtube algorithm. I get it I need to revise

Tom take the phone jasmine

“They’re easier and that’s why results are going up” or maybe it’s because we have better teachers, better and easier access to resources and better systems in place than other generations did

Only 5 gcse subjects. I done 11 and got all B,C & D grades (even though I missed a year of school)

Anyone know where I can find all the series

7:58

7:22 They've listed Matt as having done an exam when he wasn't even at the school then, he was on the prison trip...

Tremarco hot

GCSEs are a joke, or at least they were back in the 2000s when this episode aired, apparently they've been reformed and toughened since then. I was in secondary school myself back then, I wasn't even some swot who was in the top sets for everything and got a line of sparkling A*s, but I hardly did any revision and got good grades in every subject and accepted into every sixth form I applied for. I spent my year 11 exam leave just hanging out with friends, playing video games, and working part-time. I never felt any pressure at all. Besides people with learning disabilities and out and out wasters who were hardly ever in school, I really don't get how some kids would just get a line of Ds or barely scrape C grades. A-levels, on the other hand, were the first time I found school challenging, because you can't slack off and get high grades.

Always seemed a bit out of character for Jasmine to be listening to music and not taking it seriously.

I wish more teachers were like Grantley, maybe kids these days would have some respect

First

I have been watching this series on the BBC, and of course it is a right PC fest, with agendas to support 'diversities' etc.....but I like Karla though.. Then there are names like Donkey, Miss desperate Haddock, and I find Tom annoying, and not sure whether it is the actor himself, or the part he plays, or both. He had already got through Lorna, and Izzie, and now wants Davina.... Davina is rather cute though.......:) But, since the full series is on the iPlayer, I will watch them all because I am finding stuff to watch on Netflix now after watching for the past 9 months............on a voucher given to me at Xmas, and when the credits run out, I won't carry on with it. I have watched it many years ago, but since I am bored to find stuff to watch now, then I am watching them all over again, and vaguely remember what happened the first time around....:) It's a bit like documentary life in schools and universities these days, rather like the BBC W1A series was for the workings in the BBC with all the non-job names, and all the waffle they come out with.
