ABSTRACT
Of all the grave issues facing education today, let us turn to the most torrid. Should English and drama teachers be encouraged to drop their towels on TV? How much flesh is it suitable for a pedagogue to show on E4 digital Big Brother? Is it a sacking offence to kiss a housemate and threaten onscreen sex, or is it worse to be seen on primetime Channel 4 discussing the teaching profession in a glottal-stopped voice, telling a sullen youth with nose hair ‘To Kill a Mockingbird, yuh, thassa classic’?
