This indicates that Mrs Kay has a reputation as being unprofessional, stupid and is considered a bad teacher. Instead of correcting Reilly for being impolite, she jokes with him and joins in the conversation. This is encouraging the children to miss-behave.
Russell has written songs since the early 1960s, and has written the music to most of his plays and musicals. He also co-wrote "The Show", the theme song to the 1985 ITV drama series Connie, which became a top 30 hit for vocalist Rebecca Storm. His first album, Hoovering the Moon, was released in 2003.Tie pulled down conveys his relaxed attitude. He is no longer worried about maintaining his reputation or at the fact he has stepped out of line. He isn’t concerned anymore about setting a good example for the school. Willy Russell was born in Whiston, on the outskirts of Liverpool, where he grew up. His parents worked in a book publisher's and often encouraged him to read. After leaving school with one O-level in English, he first became a ladies' hairdresser and ran his own salon. Russell then undertook a variety of jobs, also the first play he wrote was Keep Your Eyes Down Low (1975). His first success was a play about The Beatles called John, Paul, George, Ringo … and Bert. Originally commissioned for the Everyman Theatre, Liverpool was transferring to the West End in 1974. Educating Rita (1980) concerned a female hairdresser and her Open University teacher. The semi-autobiographical Educating Rita was turned into a 1983 film with Michael Caine and Julie Walters. The musical Blood Brothers (1983), for which Russell also composed the music, first opened in Liverpool and transferred to London's Phoenix Theatre. It won the best actress award at the Lawrence Olivier awards. Bill Kenwright produced a revival in 1988 which has run for more than twenty years; the show was produced on Broadway in 1993. Shirley Valentine, which first opened in Liverpool in 1986 before a new production opened in London in 1988 starring Pauline Collins. It was also made into a successful film, in 1989, again with Collins in the title role. Russell received BAFTA and Oscar nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay for both Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine. Here Russell wants the audience to like Briggs, because he is portrayed as thoughtful and he wants to help the kids out and get involved in their education. Russell wants us to think he is changing as previously he underestimated their abilities and stereotyped them.
Here Russell makes the audience dislike Briggs because he is a threat to the children and doesn’t give them freedom. However Russell skilfully makes us feel empathy for him as well. Genuinely Mr Briggs is concerned for the pupils but he doesn't want anybody to know this and doesn't show it in fear of losing respect from both the pupils and the Headmaster. Really he just wants to educate them but he doesn’t understand them and their situations. This makes us empathise with the children because like Mrs Kay we begin to be realistic and know that they aren’t going to get an education and that they will have ‘limited opportunities’ for most of their life. Russell starts the scene with Briggs’s stern tone. He is not angry but not particularly sympathetic. The writer has written this play to show as if Mr Briggs and the progress class are oppositions. The writer feels strongly for the children and their social environment so he uses Mrs Kay’s argument to express his opinions.

This again shows that the children have a bad reputation because of the area in which they live in. Mrs Kay’s good behaviour, open-mindness and tolerance is a good example to the children because she is impressionable. This shows us the type of children Mrs Kay has to deal with. The children are demanding and stressful. He starts to worry. He can’t let other teachers know he has stepped out of line or he will loose his reputation.
