Waterloo Road

I must have missed an episode - can anyone tell me what happened to Tom please?

[ttfn]

Sorry Avril, not a programme I have ever seen. Do you have the BBC iPlayer on your pc?

Just played the last 10 mins of it, apparently Tom is being sent for counselling. He doesn't want to go, but his job depends upon it. Howzat for brevity? :o)

Thanks Viv... It's not really important I just wondered what had happened to him x

He got beaten up by his son's boyfriend's dad.

And Tom and the Spanish teacher had a chat where they decided they wouldn't go on a date because their relationship wasn't going anywhere and she admitted to Tom that there was someone else - there certainly is!!!

I still watch it, even though it is totally daft!!

hi Lofty - some of it is not as daft or far-fetched as you might think! I worked in the same, large upper school for 13 years and some of the stuff that went on would make your hair curl.

Thank you all x

Sherrard. I have worked in an upper school too. I agree times have changed as have student and teacher relationships, but there are some things on the running of the school which certainly wouldn't happen in schools. Waterloo road teachers seem to act as police and social services as well and happily drive their kids around in their cars to places.

Nothing surprises me about how the kids or teachers behave. I have witnessed it!!
