Jamie tries to address the issue of discipline head-on with the kids, which includes banning mobile phones in lessons. New teacher Alastair Campbell thinks he can get 20 apathetic kids excited about politics by showing how they can change the world, but his lessons in how to argue spill outside the classroom. Having got off to a rocky start with the kids, David Starkey has a showdown with Jamie, which leads to a fresh beginning, and turns for advice to one of his fellow teachers: the results impress the students, as well as the head teacher.
