Although it looks wrong, the band did indeed name themselves No Coment with only one M ChrisTheDude 12:30, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Should have used a Heavy metal umlaut instead, in my opinion :) JoachimK 13:01, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed Comment

"Simmons will be working with students from a poor, deprived area" Lowestoft is actually NOT a poor deprived area. There has been outrage in Lowestoft over Rock School's portrayal of the town, especially as a poor, largely older-populated place.Liss 14:51, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well...

As someone who (unfortunately, and begrudgingly) lives in Lowestoft, I can tell you that Lowestoft is a deprived in Rock School is exaggurated - the town does have a large-ish proportion of old people, but it isn't as significant as shown. In addition, although Kirkley is far from a fantastic school, I have to go there for some lessons, the students aren't etc.) and it doesn't do too badly - although it is widely regarded as the worst of the three high schools in the town, a fact that the statistics tend to back up.

[edit] Idiots mangling posts

Some fool decided to mangle my post (above) - here's the original:

As someone who (unfortunately, and begrudgingly) lives in Lowestoft, I can tell you that Lowestoft is a deprived area, with very few opportunities for young people. I accept that a reasonable amount of what is portrayed in Rock School is exaggurated - the town does have a large-ish proportion of old people, but it isn't as significant as shown. In addition, although Kirkley is far from a fantastic school, I have to go there for some lessons, the students aren't quite as rebellious as portrayed (with a lot of this being stirred up by the programmes' producers etc.) and it doesn't do too badly - although it is widely regarded as the worst of the three high schools in the town, a fact that the statistics tend to back up. Obviously, the locals aren't going to be too chuffed with being portrayed in the way they sometimes are, but the truth can hurt...jkl.
