How do none of those teachers realise from Kim's physical shakes that she's clearly having panic/anxiety attacks and using anger to hide them??

[sassythesasquatch]

that head teacher is a legend. wish mine was like that.

[vasher]

vincent eating his fiver: ‘it’s internal savings, i’m £5 richer’ 😭 this kid

[herminbean]

When I see a student appear from a previous episode, it feels like a crossover episode. So daft, they're all in the same school, of course you'll see them

[MW-xxcc]

I wished every kid would have teachers and school staff like these <3

[Zozo-soek]

U can tell this is a school that genuinely cares about the best for their students

[jessd]

the most entertaining series to watch when ur bored

[IMessageTextz]

*Can we all agree that when He uploads our days get better! 💖*

[parmarmo]

All these disruptive students are being rewarded… I feel sorry for the well behaved children who are missing out on quality teaching as the teachers are spending their time with disruptive students

[crazychloe]

Does anyone else think Vincent should get tested for adhd? it seems to make so much sense.

[electricmohair]

18:43 “mr chambers, please don’t call him ‘chambers’, he’s not prince” 😂😂

[amelie]

The only thing I don’t really understand is why Vincent was rewarded for having bad behaviour. He was challenging in lessons so they have him an opportunity the well behaved kids would also love - I don’t get it

[reenaleila]

can we all agree that Vincent has an amazing personality
Vincent: *eats a fiver* "it's internal savings, I'm five pounds richer" hahahhahah

[TillyAygo]

Mr Povey the headteacher seems such a nice guy and headteacher buy clearly not a push over but one you can definitely have a laugh with that's what all schools need. Discipline but able to have a laugh and talk to at the same time

[_emmaxx]

Kim is obviously struggling with anxiety how don’t they see that ?

[SMMI_]

I love reading the comments every single time

[captain-levi]

as some who has a older sister that we went to the same high school i can say it was so much fun to tease her and her friends and now my best friend is my brother in-law

[lucymould]

kim was having a panic/anxiety attack and they did nothing about it that really annoys me

[manuelmonteiro]

respect to the professionals that do all this hard work ! day in and out

[theburpman]

I like Kayden and Vincent and they are nice boys and they do care about their behaviour and attitude to learning but can’t control their own behaviour. Two boys have a different, but both naughty, set of behaviour which the school had to deal with. I can see how the boys have come a long way with their own behaviour and went from having a lot of detentions to the one odd detention. If that isn’t success then I don’t know what is.
