Gareth Malone's Extrodinary School for Boys

Im sitting down watching "Gareth Malone's Extraordinary School for Boys." What on earth is this stupid man trying too prove? This man waltz into a school  and starts completely slagging off all of these essex boys as they merely struggle to keep with the girls at just about anything slightly educational. So what exactly will make this better .Taking time out of lessons to give them a little help and support? No apparently the best way to do this  is too completely segregate them from the girls and give them complete time of lessons to play football, bulldog and cut down trees.  Of course everyone knows  that this will defiantly help boys improve their reading.


But overall the thing that annoys me the absolute most is that not only do they waltz in and completely ignore the girls in the school but the only boys that this insignificant show focuses on are the boys who spend more time on their Xboxes than they do breathing. Im sure that at least one or two of the boys in this class have at least enough talent not to confuse the words Bead & Bread. Why are they completely cut out of this show altogether. Why do they have to just pay attention too these failures rather than praise a committed slightly able student. This really annoys me.


And any of you may say "Well he's a really amazing man, and what he does is really uplifting. And everything he does is 100% real, not staged one bit." WRONG. All Completely staged. "Well how do you know that Complaining Guy?" Well the fact is that i know Mr  Malone more that you know. I In-fact was a part of Gareth's past project "Gareth Malone Goes To Glyndebourne." Im not saying that he's terrible, that he has no talent or anything like that . In my opinion i think that what he does has amazing moments and sometimes he can be brilliant. My problem is TWENTY TWENTY STUDIOS! The company that backs all of his shows. Every single show is completely and utterly staged. The Show i was a part of suggests that their was two choruses. WRONG AGAIN! Their were three ! One of them was cut out of the show altogether. Why? Their wasn't enough time XD Now don't get me wrong ! If they dont have enough time. Theirs nothing they can do.  All that i would like is  a little recognition. I believe that what we acheived in this opera was an amazing achievement and to me it was one of the most amazing expierences of my life. I dont want camera time. I don't want to be stopped in the street because im on tv. I would just like some recognition. The least they could have done was to state in the intro "Gareth will be mentoring THREE choruses NOT TWO." But do they have the decensy to do that? Apparently not.




Why do I Bother?
