Amy
Amy Jampa-Ngoen went to an all girl’s grammar school in London. She lives in Chatham ‘party capital of Medway!’
How would you describe yourself?
An introvert extrovert. Some might even go as far as to describe me as charismatic, although I have my doubts about whether that showed through on the show.
What was your favourite moment on That’ll Teach ‘Em?
Probably getting a little “talking to” by the good Dr. Szydlo with Ruby for that whole sort of “ink” incident. That was one of the more painfully hilarious moments.
And your worst?
When I cried on camera like a feeble 7 year old girl in a strop, despite swearing to myself I wouldn’t do that.
What are you up to now?
My plans are to scrape my AS levels and to gig more with my new band, aptly named The Scopes.
After your experience, do you think students would be better off being taught separately?
Errrr… pass?
Do you think modern teaching could benefit from any of the 50’s teaching styles?
Bring back “the bucket”. That was a painful, painful hour. Post-traumatic stress inducing painful.
If you could change anything about the way kids are taught in the future, what would this be?
I would bring back the cane. Corporal punishment and all that.
Who rules – Boys or Girls?
Boys. Most girls are idiots, and inept ones at that. Boys are much easier to get on with. Less backstabbing, giggling and more lewd jokes.
Do you think separate sciences should be part of the national curriculum?
I was under the impression that they already were. Or does this simply expose my crippling ignorance? But separate sciences really hurt me. Badly. I would have done much better at double science.
