www.thesharkshow.com was the website of a weekly comedy show. Formed  by Stevens,  Mckinley  Gaba and Voukydis around 2001 based around NYC,  New Yprk City. Steven and Mckinley had worked together previously with great success under the name Utah Arm. They say on their myspace that they drew influences from late night with conan O brien and Saturday night live. Comedy is a huge revenue generator and there are many comedy clubs throughout the world. It is through such clubs that many of the comedians start. Not for the faint hearted due to hecklers and of course if the crowd does not find you funny then it can be a long performing slot.

 

This is no comedy

Watching Jamie Oliver’ dream school I am sure as many other people are at the sheer lack of respect that many of these youngsters have. Although a great social experiment for many of these students they are just proving why they are so hard o teach in the first place. Even with inspiring teachers from specialists in their field the levels of respect and desire to learn for most seems illusive. For the money that has been spend, even though it is a television series,  would some simple team building sessions not highlight the same points and then enable them to be worked on. For the budgets involved I am sure that a specialist team building company with all singing all dancing equipment could be hired but for actual real life schools in this same situation that would not have such financial assistance some simple team building equipment could easily be found to run activities to find out the workings of the group. Of course this is easier said that done, these students basically have to want to learn otherwise quiet simply regardless of effort they wont!
