0:00:07 > 0:00:10# Where you go when you know nobody can understand you
0:00:10 > 0:00:12# When it's just too much to handle
0:00:12 > 0:00:16# What do you do when you end up Somewhere you never planned to
0:00:16 > 0:00:19# Wash that stress out Like it was shampoo
0:00:19 > 0:00:23# You should stay, it can change There's good things and bad days
0:00:23 > 0:00:26# But one day down the line This time it's sure to stop
0:00:26 > 0:00:28# So the only time is now, 4 o'clock. #
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Give us a touch?
0:00:51 > 0:00:55CAR ALARM
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Who did that?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Still got it!
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Well, I've marked your maths exams.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Poor, substandard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Man, he's doing that one word paper drop thing, never a good sign.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Supply teacher? Please. Won't even break a sweat.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Slipshod, though I did enjoy the giant robot you drew
0:01:28 > 0:01:30in answer to question 12.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Thank you, sir.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Some songs of intelligent life.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Ryan, sir.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Ultimately disappointing.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42As for you, Josh.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Sir, about my mark, please may I see you after class?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48In private.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yeah, yeah, of course.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Thanks, sir.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56CLASS BELL
0:01:56 > 0:02:00See, the thing is, sir, I've got dyscalculia.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03It's number blindness, I even got a book for you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07It's all ones swopping with twos, and sevens hiding behind eights.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11I know what it is, how come no-one spotted it before now?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Well, the teachers just tend to laugh at me
0:02:13 > 0:02:16whenever I get the questions wrong.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23I'll just remove the comment I put at the end of your paper.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, fine effort, really. You did try your best.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Thanks, sir.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Oh, and that's also obviously why
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I couldn't do any of my maths homework this week.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Course.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52What are you doing, Mr Carter?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54You look like a commercial.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I was just really enjoying the coffee, Mr Byron.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00We need to talk about your ongoing assessment.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Er, yeah. Really looking forward to it.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Part of it is being observed by a more experienced teacher
0:03:08 > 0:03:10who can act as a learning mentor to you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Well, I don't know if you've got anyone in mind but maybe...you?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Do you have a problem with that?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20No, not at all.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26It's just I didn't see you as the mentoring type.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Ordinarily not but they pay a bonus and I'm refitting my kitchen.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35I'll check my diary and set out a time and sit in on a lesson or two.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Great, what kind of thing...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Mr Carter, may I have a word? - Can it wait?- I just need to...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's about your brother.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48What's he done now?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Nothing. I just wanted you to know how impressed
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I am with the efforts he's making despite his condition.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Thanks, man, but I don't think being a wise guy is actually
0:04:00 > 0:04:03recognised as a condition.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I'm talking about his number blindness.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Number blindness?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I can't have been easy for him to admit it but he told
0:04:11 > 0:04:14when I was handing back the Year Nine maths exam.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Oh, I see, maths exam.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Shot in the dark. Did Josh fail that exam?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Technically, yes, but...
0:04:20 > 0:04:25And I suppose his condition means that he can't do homework, either?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27He's going to need greater support.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30While he was telling you this, he wasn't tugging on his ear,
0:04:30 > 0:04:31like that, was he?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34He may have.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Leave it with me. I've got a feeling
0:04:36 > 0:04:40this condition might have cleared up by your next lesson.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44BELL RINGS
0:04:46 > 0:04:51We had half your presentations last time, so this time, it's the half.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55And we may have an observer in our lesson, so let's take it up a notch.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I want you to...shine.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Not for me, but for yourselves. So that's...
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Ash, Elizabeth, Jamila, Jonathan, Phoebe, Rafiq, Ryan, and Zoe-Marie.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Why you always picking on me? That's like victim-it-isation!
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I'm not picking on you, Zoe-Marie. It's everyone who hasn't done it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Why say my name last like that? - Because it was alphabetical.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Nah, you went "AND Zoe-Marie". I ain't done nothing.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I've got rights. You can't just, whatever!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24BELL RINGS
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Don't forget our special guest. I want to see your best work.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31So you're saying my work's not good enough?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Just...do the presentation, OK?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Josh, wait.- Hey, what's up, bruv?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47This is not a bruv thing. This is a teacher telling off a student thing.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Can this be a teacher letting a student off cos he's his brother?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You failed the maths exam and lie about having number blindness?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58No, it wasn't like that... You see, the thing of it is...
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- I can tell when you're lying. - How? I mean...I'm not!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I've seen you lie every day since you could talk.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I've got my assessment coming up. I don't need you acting the fool.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12# White lies, porky pies Blatant fibs, made up bits
0:06:12 > 0:06:15# If there's anybody's I can spot Everyday it's his
0:06:15 > 0:06:18# Sports day, gotta climb a rope run a race
0:06:18 > 0:06:21# Suddenly he's got a dodgy knee and a stomach ache
0:06:21 > 0:06:24# Can anybody claim this many allergies?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26# Classrooms, museums libraries, galleries?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29# Can't write a hundred words in case his arm hurts
0:06:29 > 0:06:31# The only thing he's allergic to is hard work!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34# But every time he tugs the earlobe, then I'll know
0:06:34 > 0:06:36# And I'll be one step ahead forever
0:06:36 > 0:06:39# Mental note Always remember not to tug your ear
0:06:39 > 0:06:42# Man, it's literally like having Big Brother here
0:06:42 > 0:06:44# Every move I make He's watching me, he's on to me
0:06:44 > 0:06:47# When's he gonna leave so I'm free like I wanna be?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50# In the meantime If that's how it's gotta be
0:06:50 > 0:06:53# I'll be the watchman Watching him, watching me
0:06:53 > 0:06:55# When's he gonna see this ain't what I wanna be
0:06:55 > 0:06:59# Doing with my time when there's Byron clocking me
0:06:59 > 0:07:02# I'm not a law enforcer man I'm not police
0:07:02 > 0:07:04# Now I'm the watchman Watching him, watching me
0:07:04 > 0:07:06# I'll be the watchman Watching him, watching me
0:07:06 > 0:07:09# And no way is he going to take my spot from me
0:07:09 > 0:07:12# I ain't playing second fiddle man that's not for me
0:07:12 > 0:07:15# I'll be the watchman Watching him, watching me. #
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Number blindness?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Saw it on Newsround. I was saving it for an emergency.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Wouldn't it be easier to study?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24What kind of attitude is that?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26OK, OK. I'll do my maths at lunch.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- And I'll arrange for you to retake that exam.- Sweet cakes.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- You coming outside? - No. Computer room.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Need to work on that presentation for English.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Why the stress? It's not for ages.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42It's the day after tomorrow, you mongoose.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43See. Ages.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I hate public speaking. I hate doing anything in public.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Don't bother me. I just imagine the audience is on the toilet.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Takes all the fear away.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54If I have to make a speech, I'll be the one on the toilet.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Do I look nervous?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01No. That's because I'm imagining you on the toilet right now.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05OK...
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I suspect I'm going to regret this, but...
0:08:10 > 0:08:15if Mr Carter let us do it together, you could do all the speaking...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- And you'll do all the work?- Exactly!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- And I'll put in, like, graphics and everything.- You're on.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26PLAYS SOUND EFFECTS
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Josh, Have you seen Miss Poppy? I... Wait, why are you here?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Oh, I was helping with this audio collage she's doing.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37PLAYS SOUND EFFECTS
0:08:37 > 0:08:40The sounds of the school.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Er...maths?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Oh, you were serious about that.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47How do you think it looks when my own brother chips off?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- You promised you'd do it at lunch. - I had to say something
0:08:50 > 0:08:53or you'd still be lecturing me.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58We're working on your maths every lunch till you've passed that exam.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01That could be a lot of lunchtimes. We'll starve to death.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Hello, Mr Carter... and young Mr Carter. Sorry I'm late.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Josh just stopped by to tell you he can't stay
0:09:09 > 0:09:11because he's got some extra maths tutoring.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Oh. Well, maths is important too. Can't keep time without numbers.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Or...work out your percentage of album sales.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21After deductions for studio hire, marketing...
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- Distribution.- Distribution. Exactly... I feel the same way.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30JOSH RETCHES I'll wait outside, yeah?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37So, I've got this assessment with Mr Byron.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I'm not worried... Just...nervous.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45That's an important distinction. You'll be fine.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- You've got all your lesson plans.- Yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- And your student profiles, obviously.- Obviously.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Um, any other tips?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Tell you what, why don't you give me a call later.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Give me your phone and I'll put my number in.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Sorted! Well, once I've done all my lesson plans and student profiles.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Plus, I got her number.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Yeah, I reckon she's got your number and all.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18And speaking of numbers...
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- There's one small problem with your whole "teach me maths" plan- -
0:10:21 > 0:10:23you're rubbish at it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Your faith in me is touching.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28You forget, I've got my GCSE maths,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31so I think I can cope with your Year Nine work.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38So...If a bus carrying 40 people leaves at 11.30
0:10:38 > 0:10:46and travels 50 kilometres where... the speed limit is...60kph...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Tell you what, let's see how much you know.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- This is pointless. I don't even own a bus pass.- Go on.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Keep working, I'll tell them you're busy right now.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Don't I at least get a lawyer and a phone call?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Sorry, boys, Josh is working.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12- We don't want Josh. It's about our presentation.- OK, what's up?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Seeing as the Duke Of Edinburgh weekend was all about teamwork
0:11:16 > 0:11:20and helping each other, we think it'd be in the true spirit
0:11:20 > 0:11:23of the programme to do the presentation together.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25You see, sir, Ryan's a bit...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29..at the speeches. Whereas I'm more...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34..at the actual work part of it so it'd be better doing it together.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Better is good. OK, you're on.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Yes!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We need to practise that.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47How you getting on?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Josh, you haven't done any of it.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- I can't, OK! I don't get it. I never will.- You will.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56I won't! I'm just dumb.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01You're not dumb. You just need a little help.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It was the same for me.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06In fact, it's so long since I picked up a maths book,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I still feel a bit like that.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I promise you, we'll work through this together,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17every lunchtime, starting tomorrow, until you feel more confident.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19What about your assessment?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Forget that. I'll find time for that.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Don't worry.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Thanks, bruv. - You're welcome...bruv.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Hey, check it out. It's a maths website.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38They've made it into a game a bit like Zombie Squad...
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Come on, die, you number seven! Stupid prime number fours!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yeah. Cool.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- Hello.- Hi, Mel. It's Nathan.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Nathan Carter. From school.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I know. Your number came up.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Yeah, of course. Um...
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Listen, about this assessment...
0:13:04 > 0:13:09My Year Nines are doing this public speaking thing...
0:13:09 > 0:13:14You'll have no problem. Just show him your topic folders.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Topic folders.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17And they are?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Actually, now that I've got you, I've got a favour to ask.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24You know I'm doing this Sound Of The School audio collage?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Uh-huh. - TOILET FLUSHES
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Is that?- Washing machine.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Spin cycle.- Right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Well, I was wondering if I could record you
0:13:35 > 0:13:38reciting some poetry from your English class.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Um... When?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I was thinking tomorrow lunchtime.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46As you've clearly got all your assessment thing under control.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Tomorrow? Um...yeah.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Sorted. Come by the music room tomorrow lunchtime.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Um...lunchtime...might be a bit...
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Thanks, Nathan! Bye!
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Great(!)
0:14:12 > 0:14:14What's up, bruv?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Oh.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22J, you know how I'm busy
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- and I've really got to concentrate on my assessment.- Sure you do.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I've been thinking and Mr Janucek will be a better tutor than I am.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- You're OK.- You said yourself that maths isn't what I'm best at.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I'm slowing you down. And luckily, Mr Janucek's agreed to help.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Following your remarkable recovery from dyscalculia.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46What can I say? It's a miracle.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Thanks again. I'll see you later.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54After this, you'll be teaching me the bits I don't understand.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57JOSH LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Right, where shall we start?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Ash! We have to work on that presentation, you troll.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- I've done a work schedule...- Later. I'm in the Champions League final.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Right! That's a foul! Red card, you're sent off. Now let's go.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Calm down. If worse comes to worst, we'll just wing it.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I can't wing it! I've never winged anything in my life.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32I need to be completely ready for everything.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Now you explain what we've learnt back to me,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41as if I was the student and you were the teacher.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44So... if you're re-arranging an equation...
0:15:44 > 0:15:47everything you do to one side, you also do to the other?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50See. You do get it when you try.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53There's no denying I've got skills.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57OK. There's still a bit of lunchtime left,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- but we'll carry on with algebra tomorrow.- Can't wait.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Well done.- Thanks, sir.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Watch where you're going, Carter. - Sorry, sir.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Wait. Have you seen Mr Carter? - Yeah. Not pretty, is it?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Tell him I need to see him about which lessons to sit in on.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Yes, sir.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- NATHAN ON MICROPHONE: - 'One, two. One, two.'
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Hey man, you were right, I did it! - What?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Maths. I nailed it. It's history and...I'm awesome.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Well done, man!
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Um...listen, why don't you go and enjoy your lunch.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Don't let me keep you...
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Nah, it's cool. I'll hang here and help Miss Poppy...
0:16:48 > 0:16:52which is what you're doing!
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Oh, my days! Switching with Janucek wasn't about me!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It was so you could run after Miss Poppy.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03No, it wasn't... I'm just so busy, J, with the assessment...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05and I needed her help...
0:17:05 > 0:17:08and then she asked me to give her a hand, you know.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Man, I always had your best interests at heart.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15The ear of lies!
0:17:15 > 0:17:18"Don't worry, we'll work through it together."
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Then you ditch me the first chance you get.- It wasn't like that...
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Whatever. If I wanted to learn from Janucek I'd have listened in class.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Oh, by the way, I bumped into Mr Byron.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Says he wants to sit in on your maths class.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- You mean English class.- And maths.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36What? Why would he do that?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40He says he wants to see you doing all the basic subjects...
0:17:40 > 0:17:43and it's crucial for your assessment.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I've done the slideshow.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52And I've searched for facts about D of E and the campsite.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Sounds well dry.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Watch it!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, what do you want to put in?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02More stuff about what happened. Like when you fell in that hole.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04No.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Or when you got chased by the duck. - No.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10What about when your sausage caught fire and you were screaming
0:18:10 > 0:18:12"Where's the fire officer?"
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Do you have any ideas that aren't embarrassing stories about me?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Um...
0:18:19 > 0:18:20No.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Right. Then we'll go with my plan.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26OK.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- What are you doing?- I'm closing this so we can start work.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Start? That WAS work!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35And I hadn't saved it!
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You should always save your work, man.
0:18:37 > 0:18:44Arrr-ggg-hh!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Are you sure you're being assessed on maths?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I didn't have to do that.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I'm positive. Josh gave me the message from Byron...
0:18:50 > 0:18:55just when he was annoyed at me for...switching with...Janucek...
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Think maybe he was winding you up?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Only one way to know for sure...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Mr Byron, about my assessment.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Mm-hmm? Charalambos! Stop running!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- You're sitting in on my English lesson?- Yes, of course.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- And tuck that shirt in! - Not a maths tutorial?- What?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20A maths tutorial.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Josh fell behind in maths, so he needed a little help.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Maths tutorial? If you want. I'll stop by tomorrow.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Always good to get a rounded picture of new teachers.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33And stop banging the doors!
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Come on. If we go straight back to mine and work till midnight
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- we should still get it done. - Too late now, mate.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46We might as well just make it up as we go along tomorrow.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I know it's too late! That's why I was telling you we had to start!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53That's it! Deal's off. You're not dragging me down.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Fine! I wouldn't drag you down now even if you begged me!
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I was already worried about my English assessment.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I'm good at English! Now Bogoff wants to watch me teach maths.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I'm rubbish at maths! I'll look a total plank.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Sir?!- See you later. Good luck!
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Yes?- Mr Carter, I've been thinking.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21The D of E is as much about the individual challenge
0:20:21 > 0:20:23as it is about teamwork.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25So can I do mine on my own after all?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30You see, sir, Ryan's gone a bit...
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Whereas I'm more...
0:20:33 > 0:20:38I don't care. Just do it and do it well!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Have you cleaned your shoes?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Ma, I'm about to fail on English AND Maths
0:20:58 > 0:21:02and any ability to teach. Footwear is the least of my problems.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Clean shoes make a good impression.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Year Seven... Year Eight...
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Yes! Year Nine.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Thank you, Mum, for never throwing anything away!
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I always thought there was a good chance you'd have to repeat a year.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20What are you doing?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Revising Year Nine maths for Bogoff's assessment.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- What are you doing?- Zombie Squad.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Oh, no. No, no, no, no!
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Give me it!
0:21:33 > 0:21:39I'll take that. If I'm doing maths, you're doing maths...
0:21:39 > 0:21:40# How'd I get in this mess
0:21:40 > 0:21:42# Couldn't pick a worse subject to assess
0:21:42 > 0:21:44# It's a bad scam Never been a maths man
0:21:44 > 0:21:45# Used to file my homework in the trash can
0:21:45 > 0:21:47# All of this stuff fries my brain
0:21:47 > 0:21:50# "How many children ride the train If it goes through 15 stops?"
0:21:50 > 0:21:53# "How much water in these pots?"
0:21:53 > 0:21:56# "If it's 20% gold 20% silver and ten years old
0:21:56 > 0:21:59# "How strong is Lisa's ring?" How long is a piece of string?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01# As a kid I'd never concentrate
0:22:01 > 0:22:03# Now Bogoff's got my head on a plate
0:22:03 > 0:22:05# And I guarantee he will assess this
0:22:05 > 0:22:06# With a nod then eat me for breakfast
0:22:06 > 0:22:08# Clock's ticking down And I'm in it now
0:22:08 > 0:22:10# Knee deep and I might not live it down
0:22:10 > 0:22:13# Think on my feet, can't blink Can't sleep, I need a solution
0:22:13 > 0:22:14# Clock's ticking down And I'm in it now
0:22:14 > 0:22:17# Knee deep and I might not live it down
0:22:17 > 0:22:20# Think on my feet, can't blink Can't sleep, I need a solution
0:22:20 > 0:22:22# How'd I get in this mess?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24# Tried to get Nathan Just got stress
0:22:24 > 0:22:25# Now he's on my back like an itch you can't scratch
0:22:25 > 0:22:27# Don't wanna say that I've met my match
0:22:27 > 0:22:29# So it's time for a new plan
0:22:29 > 0:22:31# Never been a can't I'm a can do man
0:22:31 > 0:22:32# Nathan's on it now and ain't gonna stop it
0:22:32 > 0:22:34# Gotta find a way of getting him to drop it
0:22:34 > 0:22:36# See he's just so scared
0:22:36 > 0:22:38# I can see the grey coming through in his hair
0:22:38 > 0:22:41# Gotta make him face facts Plain as day that we both hate maths
0:22:41 > 0:22:43# Skip the long talk Cut to the chase
0:22:43 > 0:22:45# I'm going to say this stuff to his face
0:22:45 > 0:22:47# And it's gotta be that clear
0:22:47 > 0:22:48# Well, well, well What do we have here? #
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Ah, Mr Carter. I've been expecting you.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Josh, what you doing with my old maths exam?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Your Year Nine maths exam.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Do you think I want it pinned up so everyone can see I failed?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Exactly! You go on about how important this exam is,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13but you never passed it either.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16You failed at maths then. You're failing harder now.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18But that didn't stop you doing what you wanted,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21so why are making such a big deal about it with me?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I think this could get in the way of what I want.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25What? Why?
0:23:25 > 0:23:29See, right here. I failed at school, because all I cared about
0:23:29 > 0:23:30was being a rapper.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Now I'm back at school trying to make it as a teacher
0:23:34 > 0:23:35and I'm failing at that too.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37When Bogoff sees me trying to teach maths...
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Yeah, about that...
0:23:40 > 0:23:44I may've, sort of... been winding you up.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Bogoff ain't coming to watch you do maths.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Right. All ready for this maths tutorial you were telling me about?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Come on, into your seat, Carter.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Thanks for coming, Mr Byron.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I thought we could start with some simple times tables?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Just do what you would normally.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12# Uh-oh this is out of control
0:24:12 > 0:24:13# I'm gonna need to dig us out of this hole
0:24:13 > 0:24:15# All I wanted was to get my own back
0:24:15 > 0:24:17# And Nathan Now he's in for it so bad
0:24:17 > 0:24:19# I should know that, this is karma
0:24:19 > 0:24:21# I'm the one that started this drama
0:24:21 > 0:24:22# Cos I never shoulda lied in the first place
0:24:22 > 0:24:24# Now I could lose my job in the worst case
0:24:24 > 0:24:27# Clock's ticking down And he's in it now knee deep
0:24:27 > 0:24:28# And he might not live it down
0:24:28 > 0:24:30# Think on my feet, cant' blink Can't sleep, I need a solution
0:24:30 > 0:24:32# Here it is now, moment of truth
0:24:32 > 0:24:35# If I'm really good gotta show 'em the proof
0:24:35 > 0:24:36# Even though this is the hardest time
0:24:36 > 0:24:38# Maybe this is my chance to shine!
0:24:38 > 0:24:41# He hasn't got a chance this time And the fault is partly mine
0:24:41 > 0:24:43# Now his job's on the line, I confess!
0:24:43 > 0:24:45# And there's nothing I can do... # Unless...
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Sir, why don't I pretend to be the teacher?
0:24:49 > 0:24:50What?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53You know...where I explain what I've learnt to you.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Yes! Yeah...I'll be the student.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Pretend I know nothing.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02So in order to balance an equation,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05you need to make sure you do the same to both sides.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Correct! Again. That's great.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13That's all we have time for, but you did really well.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Mr Byron, I know teachers should show a broad range of skills...
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Mr Carter, you're an English teacher, not a maths teacher.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28But it's always good to help the students
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and I like your reverse teaching technique.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37Oh. Thanks... I've always thought it important to empower them.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41And it's a good way to cover up that you didn't know any of it yourself.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44BELL RINGS
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Saved by the bell?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- B minus.- That's better than mine!
0:25:51 > 0:25:55And you totally fluked it, just by telling stories about me.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Think how much less work I could have done and still passed.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Good work, Mr Carter. I particularly enjoyed the bit about fractions.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06At least we get our lunchtimes back.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Almost. I've got one thing left to do tomorrow...
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Don't worry, bruv. I've revised my maths this time.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25No, you were right.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I shouldn't have made you do something I hadn't done myself.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32It's time I passed my maths exam.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37OK, let's get started.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I've got to get out in time to help Miss Poppy.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46I'm reciting some equations for her Sounds Of The School project.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- # Can't live with 'em - And you can't kick 'em out
0:26:52 > 0:26:54# When they're up they rub it in your face
0:26:54 > 0:26:55# Kick you when you're down
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- # But when no-one understands them - You know what they're on about
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- # Always gonna be around - Gotta find a common ground
0:27:00 > 0:27:03# If you know so much about me
0:27:03 > 0:27:05# Where do I go from here?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- # If you see 'em everyday - You can never get away
0:27:07 > 0:27:10# Only time that you're the boss? 4 o'clock! #
