MILES:
The chief of Ofsted this week said that bad teachers were a necessity for our development as children. I gotted plenty of badness teachings at schkool and it dodn't never doneing me any hram.

F/X: UNRULY CLASS

TEACHER:
Now, children! (CLAPS) Children! SETTLE DOWN!

F/X: MORE UNRULINESS

TEACHER:
You know the Ofsted inspector is here! You're doing this on purpose!

F/X: FURTHER UNRULINESS. RULES PING. 'OW'. LAUGHTER

TEACHER:
I'm warning you! If you don't settle down... I'm... going to... carry on as normal!

F/X: UNRULINESS CONTINUES. CHALK ON BOARD

TEACHER:
So... (SHOUTS) ten plus five is one. Hundred. And five. And ten minus five is the capital of France.

F/X: BELL RINGS. ALL KIDS CHEERS AND RUN OUT OF CLASSROOM. QUIET.

TEACHER:
(DOWNBEAT, SIGHS) So, Inspector. I guess that didn't go too well, did it?

INSPECTOR:
No control of the children, inadequate presentation of the material, subject knowledge...

F/X: TEARS OFF PIECE OF PAPER

INSPECTOR:
Well done! It's essential that you stay a teacher -- we couldn't do without you!

END

Nice idea.

But you telegraph the surprise punch to early and Miles's line is really more of a reading than hearing joke. Also ou could play up the incompetence more, maths is a bit easy.

But pacy and in the main good gags.

I wouldn't say mine was better , just different. Another Miles line at the beginning and a Miles funny to end wouldn't have gone amiss though.

I think you make some of these too quick Dan & don't give yourself enough time to push the idea.
Always tidy, well thought out with good jokes though so It's better than I could manage.

I didn't think the hram bit works though, looks ok on Paper but I think a bad grammatical sentence would work better.

I remember Hancock doing a good one that was something like "They just aren't as sophistacated as what you & I are"

Caught me. This was my 'try and get it in before deadline' sketch. Does need more development but time didn't allow it

Ta though
