Teachers - Back story

The back story of the TV drama Teachers is based around Simon. At the beggining of episode two Susan states that she is running for the job of Head Of Year. Simon longs to keep the group of the four of them together and is against the idea. This is the first time in the episode that we see the kid inside of him. It is as if they are in a gang like he maybe used to be when he was a teenager and she is leaving. Susan says to Simon as she leaves the pub "Thanks for your support Simon." We always get a sense of Susan being right and sort of showing Simon the way forward. Simon decides to leave the pub after Susan and says to the other two teachers: "bye loosers," again another example of his childishness as a person. We can make an assumption about Simons childhood because it reflects in his adult life. We can tell he messed around at school.
