The Teaching Challenge is the series where celebrities find out just how tough it is to be a teacher. If the Bolshevik printers had not gone on strike over being paid for punctuation, there would have been no Russian Revolution and the world would be a different place!, says Lynne Truss. Her humourous book 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves', has re-established punctuation as a hot topic for debate. But will today's internet and texting generation really have much time for the semi-colon? Lynne finds out the hard way, by teaching an English class who hold strong opinions and they don't confine their views to the classroom. The girls of Davison High School take to the streets of Worthing to point out bad punctuation to shopkeepers.
