MY INSPIRATION

G raham Lawrence, 29, science author and TV presenter went to Overton Comprehensive, 186-94

I haven’t seen Mr. Jenkins since I left school but he was my inspiration. I wasn’t very good at most school subjects. I didn’t make an effort, especially in history and languages. If I’d taken part in my French lessons, I might actually have learnt some French. And I wouldn’t have had to take evening classes!

Now I tell my own kids: ‘If I were you, I’d try to learn as much as you can. It might be useful in future.’

Anyway, I remember that when I went into Mr. Jenkins science class, I became interested in a subject for the first time. Mr. Jenkins was full of enthusiasm and he got everybody interested. He used to demonstrate things with lots of practical examples. One day he took us outside and we built a rocket and actually launched it! His lessons were great fun.

I wasn’t a particularly willing and cooperative student at school, probably because I was lazy and lacked confidence but Mr. Jenkins made me feel that I could do things. I was interested in astronomy and he asked me to give a presentation to the class. That was really the first time I ever tried to explain science to an audience. If I hadn’t had that experience, I honestly don’t think I would have become a TV presenter. You know, you can’t stand in front of millions of people unless you have confidence.

When I’m preparing a program, I often think about how Mr. Jenkins would have done it. Now I know he’s still at the school, I think I’ll get in touch with him if I need some new ideas!

What would I have done if I hadn’t had a science teacher like Dr. Jenkins? It’s difficult to say but all I know is that if he hadn’t taught me, my life would probably have been very different.

I don’t think any school would risk having me as a full time teacher but if I got an interesting offer I could do some science teaching myself.

MY PUPIL

Brian Jenkins, science teacher at Overton Comprehensive

When Graham came into my class he was a bit ‘difficult’. But when he got interested, it all changed. He was extremely bright and if he’d studied, he could have done much better in all his other subjects. I’ve seen him a couple of times on TV and I say to my wife, ‘Oh look, I used to teach him!’ students like Graham certainly make my job worthwhile. It’s difficult teaching nowadays – there are more discipline problems and not enough money. Unless you are a dedicated teacher, you won’t stay in teaching long. Class sizes have gone up and it’s difficult doing lessons in laboratories with big groups. But if you’re a teacher, you have to cope with all sorts of problems.

Anyway, I love teaching. I think I’d be very unhappy if I did some other kind of job. It’s a great feeling when you know you’ve taught something well. It also makes me proud when I see my pupils doing well, like Graham. I feel that I’ve achieved something.
