This week I share a story from a teacher who clearly had other plans in life but ended up in a classroom rather than on the West End. They tell a story about the time they were working 2:1 with a teenager called Teddy who is a "sweet lad at heart but does have a temper worse than the Kray twins".My guest is the fantastic Daisy Earl. Since starting stand-up in 2013, she has quickly attracted plaudits; winning ‘Best New Comedian’ at the Scottish Variety Awards in 2015, and then being crowned ‘Scottish Comedian of the Year’ in the same year, making her the first-ever female winner. She has supported Tom Stade on his nationwide tour and has appeared as a guest on BBC Radio’s ‘Breaking the News’, the STV ‘Late Show ‘and BBC Radio 4 Extra’s ‘Best of the Fest’. We talk about Daisy's hilarious but traumatic school days, what it was like going to private school and I even surprise Daisy with a short story that I received from her favourite school teacher. Plus Daisy really does show how she feels about this week's teacher's tale.If you've enjoyed listening please leave us a review, give it a share and let us know on social media whose side you're on teacher or student. If you want to hear more cracking episode you can find us anywhere you get your pods. Anchor - https://anchor.fm/staffroompod Itunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-staff-room-podcast/id1551259872  Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0FCPSJEEz2LONUYqcuewO7Any teachers who fancy sharing their own story with The Staff Room email - staffroompod@gmail.comWanna follow The Staff Room online? Twitter - @Pod_staffInsta - @StaffroompodFacebook - @StaffRoomPodWanna follow Daisy online?Insta - @daisyearl333Twitter - @DaisyEarl3Facebook - @daisyearlcomedyCreditsArtwork design - Poppy Spinks - www.poppyspinks.comSoundtrack - James McGraw - https://soundcloud.com/jamesthomasmcgraw?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1More content available - www.harrystachini.com

This episode is a scream! I've not laughed as much as this in a while. This week I share a story from a teacher about a Year 11 lad who turned up late to his science lesson with an amazing excuse. It's great fun and plain silly from beginning to end. Callum Oakley is my guest for this one. He tells me how he started performing stand up at the age of 14 and how he ended up in the BGT semi-finals only a few years later. Most recently Callum has support Paul Smith on his UK tour playing theatres up and down the country plus a packed out Echo Arena in Liverpool (now named the M&S Bank Arena).Plus we get into a recent news story about a DT teacher in South Wales who was struck off after comments he made about students in his anonymous blog came to light.

For this week episode, I share a story from an assistant headteacher who was on the hunt for a naughty lad and found a few surprises along the way. My guest for this one is the human question mark that is my friend and comedian James Allen.
