Write one then. 
Have had ideas for a while now of a school sitcom, will maybe get working on it soon now that my exams are over.
I suppose the middle-class school may be where I find it hard to relate though, having gone to a working class comprehensive. But also it could be because The Inbetweeners doesn't actually focus on the school that much anyway, like the hierarchy's within schools, the little cliques and all that type of stuff, it is much more broad and 'sitcomy'...getting felt up by driving instructors, getting stuck in between funeral cars, projectile vomiting over a little girl...none of that I feel is relatable. Not saying that those a necesserily a bad thing, I laughed at the funeral car bit and it works if that's the show they are aiming to make. But that's why I feel that there is still room for a more realistic school life sitcom, I suppose more like Teachers but from the kids perspective (although Teachers did have many surreal moments too), I'm thinking something filmed more in style of The Office or perhaps The Thick of It but set in a school (not a mockumentary though).
