Rule The School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CBBC's Rule the School is a modern role-reversal, reality TV show for teenagers. The basis of the show was to take 5 talented school pupils and 10 school teachers and swap roles. The pupils became the teachers and the teachers became the pupils. The BAFTA nominated series ended in 2005 where lessons included Music (taught by Nathan Croston-Smith), Dance (taught by Jess Pearson), IT Factor (taught by Lauren (?)), Taekwondo (taught by Rene Cowan) and Web Design (taught by Ross Easton). The Headteacher was Adelaide (?). The show was presented by Jake Humphrey.
In 2004 the timetable included dance lessons, djing, skateboarding and fashion.

[edit] The "Teachers"
The Five Rule the School "teachers" represented a cross-section of society. The young teaching team consisted of young adults around 12 - 14 age range picked from a diverse selection of schools and groups around the UK. Each young person selected to take part in the project had an area of speciality they were confident and able to teach adults about. They had their own policies on punishments, budgets, lesson plans and even dress code.
[edit] The "Pupils"
The ten Rule the School "pupils" were an equally colourful and diverse bunch. They were a mixture of teachers, different personalities, age groups and subject backgrounds. They were required to abide by the rules their new found teachers made or face the consequences!
