In the second programme of a four-part investigation into the underachievement of girls, John Bayley gets a dramatic insight into what's going wrong for teachers and students at Eltham Green School in south London. Bayley meets a group of the girls concerned, whose attainment levels have barely improved in their three years at the school. He asks them to think about the ingredients of a good and bad lesson. He also observes and advises deputy head of Science, Catherine Pope, who tends to avoid any kind of confrontation with the girls concerned, fearing the consequences. But Bayley believes she has to master some very basic rules of class control and behaviour management before she's likely to see any improvement
