The teacher with Tourettes Channel 5

Hi
Just wondering did anyone else watch this? Great documentary highlighting a condition that so many live with and a fab inspiration for those students.

Was there another episode? I saw last weeks and forgot there might be another.

Hi
I'm not sure I only watched the one that was on 20th August x

Edit - just checked on channel 5 website and it's listed as Series 1 episode 1 but if it is a series that would make you think there were other episodes coming maybe other's stories - hope so x

Years ago there was a history teacher in my school who would occasionally have grand mal fits in class. As this was at a time disability inclusion wasn’t nearly such a thing I think the school was very brave and the kids certainly learned that having a condition like epilepsy shouldn’t hold them back.

Exactly, I think that the more children exposed to disability and certainly in a school setting the more inclusion we will see, I have a daughter with CP and Epilepsy and how society will treat her worries me so would love to see more schools etc open to employing someone who has a physical/hidden disability. x
