So... what exactly did Karen do this series?

Seperated girls and boys, as if that's going to help, and generally try to send WR back to the 1800s.
Treated one daughter like sh!t when said daughter was doing all she could to protect the other daughter.
Treated Montoya like she was some kind of pedo even though Jonah is of legal age, and he clearly hadn't been raped, but actually loved her, and had an afair (Karen's stupid "it's always black and white" line).

Yeah, I don't think I've warmed to this character yet...

Karen certainly doesnt deserve as much credibility as Rachel Mason or Jack Rimmer. Id have to say that the most she's done so far is with her own family, and that was rather sluggish aswell. I mean her gender segregation hasent even paid off as far as im concerned.

I think most of the achievements have come from other people. Ruby writing a novel and Janice getting a decent GCSE retake grade.....the work of Grantly Budgen. And it was Ruby who helped Grantly deal with the absence of his wife. And it was the pastoral care tutor that has helped Kyle Stacks.

I havent warmed up to Karen yet either. I mean with Rachel Mason, at first i wasent keen on her, but it soon changed. 2 seasons with Karen, i still think so what with her

karen is better than rachel mason, id love it if they got rimmer back on waterloo road, think theres any chance of that happening?

She's actually leaving after this series...I wonder if she and the caretaker will get hitched.

Karen isn't perfect but she is interesting so i'm disappointed she will be leaving

To be fair Ms Montoya was breaking the law whether the pupils of age or not. Also she is a pants mum, I mean she hardly talks to Harry and then is totally out of line with Jess and I know she was stupid to get pregnant but she was too hard on her
