0:00:02 > 0:00:07Eight kids who just wouldn't behave in class...
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Ow! That hurt, Ibbi!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12..signed up to four of the world's most extreme schools.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- Charlie, sit up! - No talking. No moving.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19THEY SPEAK IN KOREAN
0:00:19 > 0:00:25For most of them, it was the experience of a lifetime.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27I've realised how much you need an education.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29But will they all be graduating with honours?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- I'm not talking to you.- Sit up!
0:00:33 > 0:00:38Hopefully they'll see it in me, that I've changed, so... Fingers crossed.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Today, for the first time, all eight are meeting at a cinema in London...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48..to share some of their finest moments.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Oh, look at them shoes.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Then I return to all four schools, to reveal who's graduated.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Will it be an A-star, or an F for fail?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02And who's behaving in class now they're back in the UK.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06We were very concerned as to what the future might hold for them.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Hello everyone, and welcome to your Extreme School graduation day!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Today we'll reveal who's made the grade, and we'll be sharing
0:01:38 > 0:01:41some of your best school moments on the big screen!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's go!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Now, this is a very big occasion.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's the first time all eight of our Extreme School pupils
0:01:55 > 0:01:57have been in the same room together.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Fight, fight, fight! Only joking.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01You're all model pupils.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04But it hasn't always been like that. Roll film.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15It all began in East London, with tricky twosome Ibbi and Keziah.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Ibbi's mouth often got him in trouble.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Last term, I had quite a lot of detentions.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I did up to 15 in one month.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30And Keziah was known for running away from her teachers.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34I like to get out of my seat, walk around the classroom.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Sometimes walk out of the classroom.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Then came the giggling Geordie girls Maisie and Alice.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Maisie often flouted school rules, and liked having the last word.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48When the teachers say something I disagree with,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I always have to say my opinion back.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54While Alice rarely did her homework, and mucked about in class.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I get in trouble at least twice a day,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01for talking in lessons, being cheeky to the teachers
0:03:01 > 0:03:03and messing around in the corridors.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Next it was off to Bristol, to meet lively lads Charlie and Aiden.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Charlie liked to think he was cleverer than his teachers.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Teachers describe me as rude, arrogant...
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And Aidan only got enthusiastic in class
0:03:19 > 0:03:21when he was chanting football songs.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I muck about, and I answer back to the teachers,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26and I don't do my work.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30The final destination was Swansea,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32to meet problematic pair Brandon and Shane.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Brandon had a reputation for talking back to teachers.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I think school's a boring waste of time.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43While Shane's favourite hobby was distracting other pupils.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46If I could get away with not going to school, then I would.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50What did you think when you saw yourself on the big screen?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54It was horrible. It's like you talking to yourself.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Like, making you realise. - It's a bit shocking.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01I didn't realise that it puts you in the position of a teacher.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I don't think I was that bad.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06So Ibbi, who do you think was the worst behaved out of all of you?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- I think Charlie.- Charlie.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Aidan.- Aidan.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Brandon.- Brandon.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Aidan.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15That's two votes for you, Aidan.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17So between the eight of you, you travelled
0:04:17 > 0:04:20to four very different corners of the world.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24And this is the moment where you found out where you were going.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35Hello, everyone! I'm Susan Calman from Extreme School!
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Hello.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I'm looking for Keziah and Ibbi.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Aidan and Charlie.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Maisie and Alice.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Brandon and Shane. Hello...
0:04:44 > 0:04:50At this school, your day begins at 6:00am.
0:04:52 > 0:04:536:00am!
0:04:53 > 0:04:57You must bow to your teachers.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00No way! No way.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You'll have completed seven lessons before lunch.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05LAUGHTER
0:05:06 > 0:05:11You are not allowed to wear any make-up or jewellery.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19You are off to the Phoenix Military Academy in Chicago, USA!
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Cadets! March in step! Move!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38You are going to
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Daewon International Middle School in Seoul, South Korea!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Students who work hard at school will go far in life.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58You are going to The Bishop's School in India!
0:06:00 > 0:06:01In India?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Stand at ease... Attention...
0:06:11 > 0:06:16The motto of The Bishop's School is just one word, and it's thorough.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Maisie and Alice, you are going...
0:06:19 > 0:06:22to St Joseph's Convent School in St Lucia!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Yes!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It's not a holiday you're going on.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32This is a convent school. It's a school run by nuns.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I've never met a nun before.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37You're going to meet lots of nuns in St Lucia!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44I do not tolerate students being disrespectful. Zero tolerance.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Maisie and Alice, you looked really excited.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54What did you think was going to happen in St Lucia?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Like, going to beaches every day and sunbathing and stuff.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01And where you a bit intimidated at the thought of meeting some nuns?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Yeah. Cos I heard that they were really horrible and strict.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10You in particular, Ibbi, seemed rather shocked by the 6:00am start.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I usually like lay-ins in the mornings. I'm a bit lazy.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20So which school sounds like it would be the hardest school to be at?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Either India, or St Lucia.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Knowing that it's nuns that run it, and they're very strict.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I wouldn't have liked to go there.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32And India, because you have seven periods before lunch.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35The hardest school sounds like the military school.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39They're obviously going to be really strict, if they're military.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42And they'll definitely not be able to wake up at 6:00am every morning.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Every pupil wants to make theirs individual.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Some girls like to shorten it
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and let's not get me started on boys and ties.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I am talking of course about school uniform.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Unfortunately for these guys,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59there was no chance of customising an Extreme School uniform.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06In Chicago, Keziah and Ibbi were thrown in at the deep end
0:08:06 > 0:08:10when they were left to work out the complex military dress code.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14These are the uniforms that you'll be wearing while you're here.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17How come there's like, three pairs of trousers?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I hate hats.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Aaagh! No.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26In South Korea, the Welsh boys were less than impressed
0:08:26 > 0:08:29with their super-smart Daewon blazers.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Are you being serious? - You're having a laugh.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Yous lot are lucky, man. Ours is way worse than that.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Yours aren't bad!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I wouldn't have minded for them to be like that.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43They were up there on me. You could see my socks.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45But they were soon cutting the mustard.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48THEY SPEAK IN KOREAN
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I reckon we look like a pair of old men, to be honest.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Not initially bowled over by their convent girl pinafores...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- This is your uniform. - Oh, look at them shoes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Your socks must be above your ankles. Is that understood?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Mm-hm.- Is that understood? - Yes, Sister.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Imagine what we're going to look like with no make-up on
0:09:10 > 0:09:12and these stupid uniforms.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16It wasn't long before Maisie and Alice were looking angelic.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- You look like dinner ladies.- I know!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Why? What's the joy?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29But when it came to uniform upsets, it was Charlie
0:09:29 > 0:09:32and Aidan who took the number one spot.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I am NOT wearing a tie. And I'm not wearing a jumper.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Do we have to wear them?
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Well, I'm refusing.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43While Aidan decided to grin and bear it...
0:09:44 > 0:09:48You look like a nerd!
0:09:48 > 0:09:52.serial rule breaker Charlie had other ideas.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53What about you, my friend?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- I'm not wearing it.- Why? Why?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- So talk to me, tell me the reasons. - I'm not talking to you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Well, look in the mirror and talk to yourself, then. Anyway,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I can't keep the school waiting, so we'll carry on.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Charlie. What is so bad about ties?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13It wasn't the tie, it was just the colour. I hate maroon.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17It's just rank. And I've never worn a tie in my life before.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18What changed your mind?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I kind of didn't want to leave Aiden on his own to do the whole week.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23It was kind of harsh.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Ibbi and Keziah, you were at the military academy.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Ibbi, you were saying you didn't like the uniform.- No.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I thought to myself it was a little bit embarrassing.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37It just looks like, really smart and sophisticated compared to ours,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38which was just casual.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- A bit like cricket players. - Or old men.- Yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Maisie and Alice, while we were watching the film
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I heard someone say that you looked like dinner ladies.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Who said that they looked like dinner ladies? Charlie.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54I kind of like, got used to it and I thought it was kind of cute.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57What was it like not having your make-up on all the time?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59It felt like... I did actually quite like the feel of it
0:10:59 > 0:11:02because I hate the feel of the make-up on my face, I like fresh.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Yes, I like that it makes you feel clean.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06But you're back to wearing it again.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11If you're sent to an Extreme School you're probably going to
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- encounter a strict teacher or two. Am I right, guys?- Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- But did you really have any idea how strict?- No.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Maisie and Alice had the tough but fair Sister Rufina
0:11:26 > 0:11:29as their school principal in St Lucia.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I do not tolerate students being disrespectful.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36And they were lost for words when she lay down the school rules.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I'm noticing that you're wearing make-up.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43You have mascara, lipstick, eye shadow, nail polish.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46So all this will have to be cleared out.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49You wear uniforms, and there's no talking during class time.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Are you with me?- Yes, Sister.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Charlie and Aidan had double the trouble at The Bishop's School
0:11:55 > 0:11:57in India.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00With the no-nonsense principal Mr Freese...
0:12:00 > 0:12:05The key rules here - one is respect. The other is obedience.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07And the strict headmaster Mr Edwin.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09They expected you to be at assembly this morning.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It's not going to be acceptable if you are going to miss the assembly.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I hope I've got myself clear.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17And that's the last warning you're going to get, both of you.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Brandon and Shane had the cool and calm Mr Kim in South Korea.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Who was very clear when it came to the school rules.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28You must not miss any of the classes in your timetable.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Self-study is compulsory.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34You have to do it, until 8:30pm.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- You finished at 8:30?- 9:30.
0:12:39 > 0:12:46Cadets! Ready. Step. Move. Ready. Step.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49But there was one teacher that put all the others in the shade -
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Chicago's very own First Sergeant Powell.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Battalion...halt!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57He was scary!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Sergeant Major, are these cadets prepared?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Whoa! Look at this. My, my, my.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05No talking. No moving.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Who told you to put that sweater on, cadet?- Myself.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13OK, you're going to do push-ups. So guess what, remove your beret.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Straighten up, there you go. Now, you go down...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18There you go! Outstanding.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21One, sir. Two, sir. Three, sir...
0:13:23 > 0:13:25When he came around the corner I was sweating.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28His chest was puffed out and he has a deep voice.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Keziah, what did you think of the discipline?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I liked it quite a lot because it shows authority
0:13:33 > 0:13:37and shows who you should listen to and who you should respect.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Brandon and Shane, do you appreciate your teachers more or less?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I treat them with more respect
0:13:44 > 0:13:46because I realise that they don't really
0:13:46 > 0:13:49ask for much compared to the Korean teachers.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51They could ask for a lot more.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55We realise how annoying it actually is when kids don't listen.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59I do respect them once I realise that they're just doing their job.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03We all know that you weren't big fans of school in the UK, and let's
0:14:03 > 0:14:06be honest, none of you would have won the best behaved pupil award.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09But, did enrolling at one of the world's strictest schools
0:14:09 > 0:14:12make you see education differently?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Brandon and Shane's stint at a top gaming company in Seoul
0:14:18 > 0:14:21gave them a new perspective on their education.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Crytek is one of the world's largest and finest video games developers
0:14:25 > 0:14:30in the world, so today I will give you a chance to make your own game.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38You need to come up with a title and a game story for your own game.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40How about here?
0:14:40 > 0:14:45When I am older I could consider being a gamesman with Yohan.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Maisie and Alice got a taste of manual labour
0:14:48 > 0:14:50in a St Lucian banana plantation.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Let's go.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54And it definitely got them thinking.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00My brother is a doctor, my sister is a teacher
0:15:00 > 0:15:05and be working here is so hard, it is worth going to school.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I don't think I could do this as a job as, like, a lifetime.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Ibbi had his reality check
0:15:11 > 0:15:15when he hung out with the school's star football player in Chicago.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18We want to play some football, some American football.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24For some of the kids, it is a very rough environment
0:15:24 > 0:15:25where they come from.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29They have to encounter gangs day in and day out.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32But they come to the school to achieve better things.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I will try and take the discipline that they have over here,
0:15:36 > 0:15:41and take it to school back in my homeland in England.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Hello.- Welcome to the Chicago Police Academy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Keziah went on a crash course with the police.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48You just cuffed your first cooperative subject.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52And learned a few home truths about her dream job.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Do you still want to be a police officer?- Yes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56How you doing in school?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I am not always good, I am a bit over energetic and talkative.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01You have to get your act together in school.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04She said that if I am not good in school then
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I can't really be a police officer.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12It was a bumpy road for Charlie and Aidan on a trip to Pune city centre.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Oh, my Lord!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19But the boys were more shaken up by what they saw when they arrived.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Why are there so many kids on the streets?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Most of these kids, they've got no schools.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26How much money do people earn around here?
0:16:26 > 0:16:31In pounds, if you ask me, it would be something like £70-£80 per month.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- A month?- A month.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37It is a shock, you see so many little kids out here with
0:16:37 > 0:16:42nothing and they have got a really hard life out here.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49It was horrible, because you have three-year-olds begging for money
0:16:49 > 0:16:52and back in England you don't actually have that.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57People take loads of stuff for granted so it was actually touching.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Brandon and Shane, that games company looked pretty cool.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03When I was watching them work it made me
0:17:03 > 0:17:08feel like if I worked hard I could have a good job like they did.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12And Maisie and Alice, you worked in the plantation.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It made us realise that we were just messing around
0:17:15 > 0:17:17and it's not worth it.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I would not want to grow up and finish school
0:17:20 > 0:17:24and wish that I had stuck in and worked harder.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It wasn't just the tough schedules
0:17:26 > 0:17:30and no-nonsense teachers you had to deal with at Extreme School,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34you all faced a final challenge which pushed you all to the limit.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I can hardly watch!
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Keziah and Ibbi's final challenge in Chicago was to perform
0:17:41 > 0:17:46complex military drill routine in front of the entire academy.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Let's have our cadets come forward.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Their success relied on teamwork.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56If one of them made the wrong move they would both fail.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17This concludes the drill sequence.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19APPLAUSE
0:18:23 > 0:18:28I am glad that I managed to overcome it and that I didn't quit.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I am happy I completed the drill but I am a little bit sad
0:18:31 > 0:18:33because I know my time here is coming to an end.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37In Korea, the Welsh boys were set the task of giving
0:18:37 > 0:18:40a presentation about their home country.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42If you mess up a little bit just carry on.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45The audience was their high achieving classmates,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47so they had to pull out all the stops.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52We both live in Wales, which is attached to England.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57We live in a little city, Swansea City. This is our national flag.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Hwyl fawr.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02ALL: Hwyl fawr.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04That means "goodbye" in Welsh.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05APPLAUSE
0:19:05 > 0:19:08That was good. One more time.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10APPLAUSE
0:19:11 > 0:19:15This has definitely been one of the best experiences in my life.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The convent girls' challenge was to teach a group
0:19:18 > 0:19:22of nine-year-old kids a poem they would perform together
0:19:22 > 0:19:24in an end of week show.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27The activity this afternoon is one that you can expect to
0:19:27 > 0:19:29be of a very high standard.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34It was a sell-out crowd, and taking a front seat was
0:19:34 > 0:19:36her Excellency the Governor-General of St Lucia.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40APPLAUSE
0:19:40 > 0:19:46I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high over vales and hills.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49And then with heart my pleasure fills...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51And then with pleasure my heart fills,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54and dances with the daffodils.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58APPLAUSE
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Congratulations, you did a good job. Really, really good.- Thank you.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I will concentrate much more on lessons because I have
0:20:08 > 0:20:12realised how much you need an education to be able to get by
0:20:12 > 0:20:16in life and get a job and be able to have the things that you really want.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Aidan and Charlie's final challenge in India was to teach
0:20:19 > 0:20:24a class of 52 junior kids about the Kings and Queens of England.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Hello!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- I am King Charlie.- I am King Aidan.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30The boys were in for a rough ride...
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Calm down!- Silence!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Three, two, one, silence!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43..but managed to win over the class with a fun-packed lesson.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Go!
0:20:45 > 0:20:49CHEERING AND SHOUTING
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I have had my taste of being a teacher.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57It is harder than what I expected.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58So, to be fair,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I have got to give some of my teachers at home some credit.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05They signed up to Extreme School
0:21:05 > 0:21:09because they were all in need of an education wake-up call.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19But did any of them do enough to graduate?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I headed back to all four UK schools
0:21:21 > 0:21:24to deliver the Extreme School results.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31In front of a packed assembly, it was time to find out
0:21:31 > 0:21:32if it had all been worth it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Keziah and Ibbi, I have in my hand your school report sent
0:21:43 > 0:21:46direct from Colonel Harris in Chicago.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49From Sister Rufina in St Lucia.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Mr Freese at the Bishop School in India.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Principal Ho in South Korea. Let's see what it says.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00They both struggled to control their bickering
0:22:00 > 0:22:03when they were outside the classroom.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Maisie...struggled initially with her etiquette.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Alice was reluctant to speak in front of the school at first.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Charlie got off to a very bad start.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Aidan was also in trouble when he was led astray.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Brandon, Shane, failed to impress in a grammar test.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- CROWD:- Ooooh!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39But at the end of the week,
0:22:39 > 0:22:44they pulled together to complete a complex military drill.
0:22:44 > 0:22:51Showed the ability to behave like distinguished young ladies.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Impressed when it came to the challenge at the end of the week.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Both of you showed real strength of character,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05which means...
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Congratulations, you have passed your Extreme School test!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18APPLAUSE
0:23:27 > 0:23:31We have got your Extreme School trophies as well. Well done again.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33APPLAUSE
0:23:36 > 0:23:38A few close calls.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44But it was a clean sweep of Extreme School graduates.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48But how long would the good behaviour last back home?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Let's see if any of them have managed to keep up the good work.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Macbeth has kind of pushed it away. What do you think?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01He is basically saying that there is nothing going on, it is
0:24:01 > 0:24:03just a dream.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Excellent. OK.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I am not running around us much.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I am knuckling down and understanding more.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10And being a bit more mature.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I do think Keziah is more disciplined.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Certainly the way she is around the building suggests
0:24:16 > 0:24:17she is more sensible.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20She is more thoughtful about the way she responds to things.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22A big change.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Since I have come back to the UK I care about my work more,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I have more discipline.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Some of my teachers have realised
0:24:32 > 0:24:34that I have made a change for the good.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Since Ibbi's return from America he is a lot less argumentative.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41There is no shouting across the room.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Ibbi's improvements have been superb. Him and Keziah
0:24:44 > 0:24:46seem like different students.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50So if 15 pound is one part, how much is three parts going to be?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Um...45.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55That's right, 3 x 15.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I am listening to the teachers now
0:24:57 > 0:25:00and not messing around and I'm getting better results.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04I am really pleased to see Shane's positive change in behaviour, I am
0:25:04 > 0:25:08pleased to see the way he is wanting to achieve and wanting to succeed.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I think he is working flat out at the moment.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17The thing I have changed most is probably how much I work,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20because I work a lot harder and it just made me
0:25:20 > 0:25:22realise that I need to work hard in school.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Instead of just messing around all the time.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Since being back, Brandon has followed the rules,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and I think he has gained a lot from his experience.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37- That would be Y = 2X + 1. - Very good.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41I am enjoying school much more than I did before, because I have been
0:25:41 > 0:25:45working harder in my classes and getting on better with the teachers
0:25:45 > 0:25:48and just being more respectful towards them and it is much better.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53Maisie's attitude has improved, attitude to learning.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56She is now showing a lot of respect to her teachers
0:25:56 > 0:25:59and I believe learning much more in the lessons because of that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03That is lovely. Absolutely fine. Nicely done.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Going to St Lucia made us realise that I want to be smart
0:26:08 > 0:26:10and get good grades and stuff.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12So that in the future I can get a good job.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I have realised that since I got back I have been saying
0:26:16 > 0:26:18"please" and "thank you" after everything.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Alice is participating much more in lessons since she returned
0:26:22 > 0:26:23from St Lucia, and she seems to appreciate
0:26:23 > 0:26:26the opportunities she has at this school.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Can you help me, sir?- Yeah. What is the question?- What does that mean?
0:26:32 > 0:26:37I saw in India all of the children were very polite
0:26:37 > 0:26:41to their teachers and I thought, I will come back and do that
0:26:41 > 0:26:44and I've embraced it and took it with me instead of leaving it there.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Since I was two years old watching football on the TV I always dreamed
0:26:47 > 0:26:51of being a footballer playing alongside my hero, David Beckham.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Round of applause, please, for Aidan.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56APPLAUSE
0:26:56 > 0:27:01My biggest improvement is probably getting on with my work,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03treasuring my education more.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'm actually getting along with a lot of things now.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10I am delighted to see the changes in these boys.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12We were very concerned for Charlie
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and for Aiden as to what the future might hold for them.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19But they now understand where education can take them
0:27:19 > 0:27:22and how, as Aidan says, how it should be treasured.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27It's a success for the class of 2013, Extreme School graduates!
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Top marks all round. Let's hope you can keep up the good work. Cheese!
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Chicago definitely opened my eyes about education.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46I look back at Korea like an experience of a lifetime.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Extreme School was a tough time but it is something I will never forget.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58It has been really good and I will remember it for the rest of my life.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03I have got along with Ibbi a lot better haven't I, Ibbi? Haven't I?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Aww, cutie pie!- Stop, man! What's that about?
