Class Dismissed! with Tom Houghton

By: Global
  • Summary

  • Tom Houghton is posh…there’s no getting away from it. He lives in a posh place (the Tower of London) and he went to a very posh school. After years of privilege and a private education that cost more than most people’s houses, Tom’s decided he needs to connect with the real world and find out more about how commoners were dragged up through the education system. ‘Class Dismissed!’ is a podcast all about schools. Good schools, bad schools, bad teachers, really bad teachers and experiences that have left our guests (and Tom) needing years of therapy to correct.

  • EP20 Mark Nelson - Sh...sh...SHARK!!!!!
    Jan 14 2021
    Dumfries was voted the happiest place to live in Scotland. So much so the locals can end up resenting you if you move away. Mark talks about going back to visit his old school, bullies who now want to be friends and all those bad hair cuts and style choices that saw him through puberty. Not only that we have original wrestling finishing moves, an a analysis of every Jaws movie and we ponder why the letter Z was always so cool to have in your name.

If it wasn't his Dad starting fights down the school's back ally, it was his oldest sister finishing them.

  • EP18 Dane Baptiste - Dane if you do, Dane if you don't
    Dec 17 2020
    Dane could have gone a very different route than he chose to. Not only did he have to battle multiple teachers who seemed hell bent on making his life hell. Soon came the teenage years and the tempting call of the gangster way of life. Lucky, he had his head screwed on and decided to take a better path. But if it wasn't for his vision of a better future, he could have turned out very different. That and his Mum seeking him out down the youth club to give him a slap and make sure he was staying out of trouble. Follow Tom - www.instagram.com/honourabletom / www.twitter.com/honourabletom
