Perhaps to coincide with the start of the new academic year, last week Channel 4 broadcast the first episode of Educating Yorkshire, the second series of the hugely popular fly-on-the-wall documentary inside a normal state secondary school. The hour-long show led to more than 126,000 tweets when it was aired on 5 September - about 2,100 a minute.

Watching Educating Yorkshire just reminds me and makes me realise what a complete tit I was in school

If my headteacher was more like that Mr Mitchell off Educating Yorkshire then it’d be so much better
