Lessons for Dolores

[Shaun Hately]

I ran into one of my old teachers today - one of the best ones I had 
- and she was absolutely delighted to hear I was going into teaching 
- and expressed the common hope that I would wind up with at least 
one kid who gives me the same trouble I gave her.  

Anyway, while we were talking I reminded her of a punishment she 
gave me once when I had completed a piece of homework. She made me 
write out one a passage from Shakespeare in my best handwriting - 
backwards (with the promise that if I made a single mistake I would 
be sent to my Form Master for something far worse).  

Em ot kcab emoc ti llit esuap tsum I dna 
Rasaec htiw ereht niffoc eht ni si treah ym  

It's actually quite difficult.  

Anyway, she remembered that - and referred to an incredibly amusing 
website:

Evil Detentions

Basically lots of creative tasks that can be set for students as 
punishments.  

"Silly Script 
Give pupils a lead from a .5mm or .7mm propelling pencil and toilet 
paper. Ask them to write a list of 50 things that break easily."  

Five minutes of that and I would be begging for Professor Umbridge's 
magic quill!

thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the 
facts. They alter the facts to fit the views. Which can be 
uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that 
need altering." The Doctor - Doctor Who: The Face of Evil
