-SCHOOL BELL | 0:00:00 | 0:00:01 | |
-School - -it can be tough, it can be fun. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
-It's definitely a challenge. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
-2 A-X. Oh, no! | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
-And not just for the pupils. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
-Year 8! | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
-Year 8! - -And you're at it already. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
-Though many claim to be experts, -they don't truly know... | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
-..what happens on school corridors -between 8.30am and 3.30pm. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
-Ysgol Maes Garmon in Mold is opening -its doors to television cameras. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:37 | |
-This is the only Welsh-medium -secondary school in Flintshire. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
-It's home to around 500 pupils -and 40 teachers and support staff. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:56 | |
-It's a new year and a new term -at Ysgol Maes Garmon. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
-It's a fateful time for pupils... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
-..which proves too much for some. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
-Pressure!! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
-I think -there's a lot of pressure on us. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-Teachers have -started talking about GCSEs... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-..and I'm worried -about what's to come. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
-I think it's a big shock... | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
-..going from Year 9 to Year 10 -and having so many exams. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-Personally, -I think there are too many. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-I've explained this -two or three times already. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
-There are fewer subjects... | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
-..and ones I'm interested in, -so the work gets easier. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
-I think Year 11 is very difficult -because of all the GCSE subjects... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
-..but compared to now, -that was nothing. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
-This year, I've felt more pressure -than I've ever felt before. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-Returning to school -after Christmas... | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
-..means that -exam pressure starts in January. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
-Year 10 -have their first GCSE exams... | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
-..and Year 11 -are old hats at sitting exams. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-They have external exams to sit. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
-A few of you have done something -quite serious in Section B. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-For teachers, -it's time to prepare the pupils... | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-..for all the examinations... | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-..the coursework -and controlled assessments. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
-This term is crucial -for the pupils' success. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
-BELL | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
-Don't forget - -only Of Mice And Men and poems. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
-On the second day of the new term, -Y10 sit their first GCSE exam. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-It's an English literature paper -and there are obvious nerves. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
-I feel a little sick, -a little nervous. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-This is their first exam, -their first taste of what's to come. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
-It lays the foundation, -if they sit this exam correctly... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
-..they can bank that -and we can move on to other things. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
-The assessment structure -and exam method... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
-..for pupils in Years 10 and 11... | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-..has changed dramatically -over recent years. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-From the beginning of Y10, -children are under exam pressure. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
-The assessment period has been -extended to almost two years now... | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
-..whereas when I was at school, -exams were at the end of Y11. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
-For some pupils, -it works in their favour. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
-They like having short-term targets. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-For other pupils... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
-..the added pressure -of endless exams... | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
-..can be a burden. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
-I hate this process, -watching their faces. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-I'm trying to work out -if they're unsure. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
-They don't look too bad. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
-Two pupils sitting their first -GCSE exam are Sion and Trystan. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-They're best friends. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-Their world -revolves around football. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
-What did you think of the football -over the weekend? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-Who do you face in the Cup? -Millwall? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
-They both play for -the Mynydd Isa U15 side near Mold. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
-Tryst, I'll go and get more balls. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-As part of their -Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
-..they're volunteering -to help coach the U13 team. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
-Positions! Positions! | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-I support Man U -and Sion supports Chelsea. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
-It's the best game in the world. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-It's the best game in the world. - -It's the first thing we talk about. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-Supporting a team is a way of life. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
-Life would be dull without it. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
-Life would be dull without it. - -The boys look up to them. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-They probably listen to them -more than they do me. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-The boys enjoy having them here, -the boys enjoy coming. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-I think they're doing a good job. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-They do different -training strategies each week. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-We'll do two groups. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
-We'll do two groups. - -They helps us defend and attack... | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-..which helps our game -and they also make it fun. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-Because they're young, -they know how we feel. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-I think the boys, like everyone -else, will be very nervous... | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
-..because it's -a new experience for them. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
-They haven't been in the main hall -before and they want to do well. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
-Close your books, please... | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-..and we'll collect your papers. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
-I've just been told that -one pupil answered every question. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
-And he hasn't even read -all the books! | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
-We've had mocks before in class, -but this is more nerve-wracking. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
-There's pressure on us to do well. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
-I can't believe I slept, -to be honest. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
-When you go into an exam, -you feel like throwing up. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
-Once you sit down, it's head down -and get on with the work. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:38 | |
-I didn't think -I could write so much in two hours! | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-Copper is Cu. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-After sitting their first GCSE exam, -how do they feel... | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
-..about having exams -so early on in Year 10? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-I think it's better -to have some in Y10, some in Y11... | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
-..instead of having them -all pile up in one month. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
-I can see -there's no need to worry so much. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
-You know what to expect next time. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-How do you ask, -what do you do in your spare time? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-Who remembers? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
-Sometimes, just sometimes... | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-..I feel they should be tested less, -both internally and externally.... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
-..so that they have time to mature, -get to know the course... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
-..and learn about their subjects. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-Y10 isn't the only year -under pressure. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-You have one shot -at these two years. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
-If you make a mistake -at the beginning of Y10... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-..it's hard to come back from that. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-There's a lot of pressure on us. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
-At this age, -we're too young to deal with it. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-Depends what you want to do. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-If you want to go to university -to study medicine... | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-..you're under pressure to do well -now, but I don't find it too bad... | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
-..but I know some of my friends do. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-Y11 is a difficult year for pupils. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
-It gets worse and worse. -This is a very difficult year. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
-Before Christmas, -they've sat mocks... | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-..then straight afterwards -they've had a week's revision... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
-..and external exams -directly after Christmas. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
-This year -affects the rest of their lives. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
-They either stay on, -go to college or find work. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
-They put themselves under pressure. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
-They put themselves under pressure. - -Two such pupils... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
-..are Caitlin and Natasha, -who are 15. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-The title is Cultural Life -Under Apartheid. Write it down. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-Sometimes I put myself -under too much pressure... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
-..to get everything done but -pressure from teachers adds to that. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
-Who can tell me why they separate? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-Every teacher -thinks their subject is important... | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
-..so we're under pressure -to please them. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
-My parents shout upstairs, "You -have to stop, Tash," but I can't. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:10 | |
-I have all these things -racing around in my head. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
-I have to do this, -I have to do that. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-I really want to do well. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
-Every week -there's coursework or exams. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
-There's always pressure -at the back of our minds. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-There's definitely too much pressure -on us to get an A star, A... | 0:09:26 | 0:09:32 | |
-..or A star to C. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
-You're not taught... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-..to deal with pressure. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
-Everyone deals with pressure -differently. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
-It comes easier to some than others. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-Before this year, Year 11... | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
-..I went to hospital -and was diagnosed with anxiety. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
-I was quite shocked -because I never thought... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-..I'd suffer -with something like that... | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
-..because -I've always been confident... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-..and been able -to deal with the workload. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
-I never worry about things. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
-You can either say that or that. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-I suffered panic attacks... | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
-..whereby I couldn't stop shaking. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-I couldn't get my breathing -into a regular pattern. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
-I just felt -as if I was about to die. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
-It's hard to describe. -It's horrible. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
-You feel -as if you can't deal with anything. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-Use the information in source A. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-I spoke to a doctor who said -that it might be school... | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
-..that's causing -the stress and anxiety... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-..because I always aim -for good grades. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
-I have to be perfect... | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
-..and if I can't reach perfection, -I get stressed. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
-At the beginning of January, -Cara and her fellow pupils... | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
-..sit a full week -of GCSE examinations. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
-She's under a lot of pressure. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
-She's so eager and enthusiastic. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
-She wants to do well all the time. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
-She puts herself -under a lot of pressure. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-I can understand how the pressure -gets too much for her. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-But there's a responsibility -on us as teachers... | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
-..to control that pressure -as much as we can. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
-If they reach their potential and -make progress, that's what counts. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:40 | |
-The final exam for Cara, Caitlin and -Natasha is the Welsh language paper. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
-The week has gone smoothly for Cara, -with no major setbacks. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:55 | |
-Reaching the end of the final exam -is a huge relief. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
-Where's Cara gone? How was it? | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
-She's smiling. Was it alright? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
-Did you use -what we'd been looking over? Great. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
-You're smiling, you've done well, -fair play to you. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-Fantastic. Well done, girls. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
-Happy, Eleri? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
-Happy, Eleri? - -Very happy. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
-I'm going to -look over the paper now. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-The pupils are happy, so I'm happy. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-I'm feeling quite confident -after that. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
-I'm happy I don't have to do -any more revision. I can relax now. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
-. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:40 | |
-* | 0:12:41 | 0:12:41 | |
-It's not only the pupils -who are under pressure. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
-Over recent years, teachers -have seen a marked increase... | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-..in their workload. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:53 | |
-There's a lot of paperwork involved. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-There are more targets to meet... | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
-..and more reports to write. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
-For some of the staff... | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
-..it's frustrating because -all they want to do is teach. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
-J'ai regarde... | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
-J'ai regarde... - -J'ai regarde... | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
-..la tele. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
-The pressure -on teachers nowadays is extreme... | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
-..but I think I put more pressure -on myself than anyone else does. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
-I want to be an excellent teacher. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
-Is there a big clash between -freedom and servitude in this poem? | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
-There's so much work -and marking to do. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-I have a family of my own. Once they -go to bed, I start work again. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
-I've got schoolwork to do. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
-The story's the same -for teachers right across Wales. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
-With this brand new examination, -the 10-10 exam... | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-..10 marks go for content... | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
-..10 marks go for presentation. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-The worst thing about teaching -is the marking. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
-It's a pain. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
-Often, I'm still on the go -at two or three in the morning. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-No doubt I'm bald -because of all the times... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-..I've gone like this, -thinking, what am I doing? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-If it weren't for -the actual teaching... | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-..I'd have long gone. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-We have today's lesson... | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
-..tomorrow's lesson and Friday's. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-It's difficult at times. I want to -hit my head against a wall. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-I tell the children I need money to -buy hair dye because I've gone grey! | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
-He can't hear me going like this. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-Sometimes, -you just want to go, aarrgh! | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-Education -has become an industry now. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-It's all run by data... | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
-..but pupils aren't numbers. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
-To quote a famous film, -"I am not a number." | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
-But I see education going that way. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
-Budgeting issues -are troubling the headteacher. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
-The school receives -a sum of money per capita. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
-This forms the basis of its budget. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
-Money enables us -to employ more staff... | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
-..buy more resources -and make our pupils' lives better. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
-There are huge financial burdens -on us, like every other county. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
-It means potential cutbacks... | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-..in staffing levels... | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
-..and resources, -which is frustrating. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
-It's become a matter -of retaining our high standards... | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
-..with less money. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-Liam and Ross are 17 years old -and are in Year 12... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
-..a year that is -a huge leap from the previous year. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
-I'm in -the first year of sixth form... | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-..so I've chosen the subjects -I want to do. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-No more English or Welsh lessons, -which is a relief! | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
-I have plenty of free periods... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
-..to do nothing. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
-It's far more difficult. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
-In Year 11, -we have five lessons a day... | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-..five days a week. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
-Now, looking at Y11 going to every -lesson, I don't know how I did it! | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
-In sixth form... | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
-..pupils are required -to work independently. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-It requires more -self-discipline than I thought. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-I knew we had to go to the library -and do work for ourselves... | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
-..but this is where we come -when we want to chill for a while. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
-When the pair want to do -some serious chilling... | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
-..they can be found -at Flint golf course. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
-We've been playing since -we were three or four years old. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-Our handicap is three. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
-We play for Flintshire's U18 team -and we represent North Wales. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:08 | |
-On Saturdays they coach children... | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
-..as part of their -baccalaureate course at school. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:19 | |
-You can see how much the children -enjoy it and how much they improve. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
-Seeing them come back -week after week... | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
-..is great. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
-I remember being like that -and wanting to come. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
-"Mum, Mum, take me, take me." | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
-Nice putt, mate. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
-Being so close, will they both -be going to the same university? | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
-We're similar. We're twins, -we've spent 17 years together. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-We're joined at the hip, -as they say... | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
-..but I doubt we'll be going -to the same university. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:59 | |
-I want to study geography -and he wants to study physics. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
-That'll separate us... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
-..but we'll still see each other. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
-Independence -is within their reach... | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
-..and not only -in their academic work. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
-At the end of this road, -we'll turn left. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
-Both are learning to drive, and -the pressure of the test is looming. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:35 | |
-This is my fourth lesson. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
-I'm a bit rusty. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
-I need to fine tune everything. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
-At the end of this road, turn left. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
-Mirrors are a good example. -I need to check before, not after. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-That's my biggest weakness. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-What was the conversation -about the mirrors? | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
-I didn't check before I... | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
-Passing would give me more freedom. -I wouldn't have to ask my parents. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
-I can make my own decisions. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
-I can do what I want and go where I -want instead of asking Mam and Dad. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
-It'll be much easier for me -and it'll be easier for them too. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:20 | |
-Passing their driving test is -one thing that bothers older pupils. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
-As well as tests and exams, there -are other pressures on young people. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
-One of the most recent problems -plaguing young people... | 0:19:38 | 0:19:44 | |
-..is social media... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-..like Facebook, Twitter and so on. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-It's an increasing problem -that they're in constant contact... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
-..every hour or every day. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
-Often, children are -on these websites late at night... | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
-..unsupervised. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
-The language used and the images -that are distributed among them... | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
-..can cause problems. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
-The internet has also increased -the need for young people... | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
-..to feel popular and to look good. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
-Year 11 are certainly -trying to look their best today. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:25 | |
-The day of the school photo. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
-It's odd. We've seen Y11 photos -on the wall since we were in Y7. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:36 | |
-It's odd to think -we'll be on the wall! | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
-Everyone's dressed smartly -and having fun. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
-Lovely. Nice, big smile, everyone. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-Once the official photos are taken, -it's time for the selfies. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
-There's loads of pressure... | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
-..to always look -smart and glamorous. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-A lot of effort... | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-..goes into looking good for school. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
-You feel happier -when you get more likes on Facebook. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
-It boosts your confidence. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-If you don't get -at least 100 likes these days... | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-..it's a big thing if you don't. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
-It's a competition. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-People start putting statuses -on people... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
-..which leads to bullying. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
-That one. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
-Yes, that one. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
-The problem of bullying -or quarrelling... | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-..often starts on these websites -outside of school... | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-..which feed into school. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-The internet has a bad influence -on people our age. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:46 | |
-It puts more pressure on us now -and it's unfair, really. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
-As the spring term continues, -Y11 are shouldering another burden. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:59 | |
-They must think further ahead -than the summer exams... | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
-..and plan their future. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
-..and plan their future. - -It's a big decision. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
-Leave school, look for work, go to -college or stay on in sixth form? | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
-You're faced with -higher education and university. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
-It gives you a good idea... | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
-..of where to go to university. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
-I realize it's more important -to do something I enjoy... | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
-..than something that looks good -or what I believe looks good. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
-At least 1,000 times a lesson with -these, I go, how can you say that? | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
-That's really impressive. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
-Geography? What else -are you planning on doing with it? | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
-I was thinking of teaching. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
-You'd only have to do the three, -plus the baccalaureate, to succeed. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:58 | |
-If you can do that and maintain -that standard, you'll be fine. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
-You'll be the headteacher -of Maes Garmon in no time! | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
-Won't you? Yes, you will! | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
-Next week, in the final programme, -the pupils turn into teachers. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:18 | |
-Well done, girls! | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
-Well done, girls! - -You're a baby. Come on. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
-Some have a hard lesson to learn. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
-I learnt how easy it was -to give in to peer pressure. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
