What happens

Rule the School is a modern role-reversal, reality TV show for teenagers formerly shown on CBBC. The basis of the show was to take five talented school pupils and 10 school teachers and swap roles. The pupils became the teachers and the teachers became the pupils. The series first aired in 2002, with lessons including text-messaging, break-dancing, computer gaming, customising clothes, popstar skills and 'funky footballing'. The series was nominated for a BAFTA in 2003 when lessons included dance, rap and, slightly more conventionally, physical education. In 2004 the timetable included dance lessons, DJing, skateboarding and fashion. The show ended in 2005 after four seasons, and was presented by Jake Humphrey. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
