Notes for Pupils
As from the beginning of term
Talking
Sniggering
Chatting
And loud breathing will be banned
As will:
Scribbling notes
Inappropriate use of imagination
Smug expressions
Knowing looks
Sign Language
Thinking you know it all
Thinking
Not being amused by your teacher’s jokes
Chewing
Looking as if you're chewing
Redesigning your uniform
To reflect a possible personality
Dreaming about being someone else
Dreaming about being somewhere else
Students
The following will be aloud in moderation:
Intelligence may be displayed
as long as not accompanied by
anything of a rebellious nature
such as questions
The offensive and probing nature of questions
must always be considered, but if in doubt don't
discuss it among yourselves. (see chatting)
It is worth noting that teachers with a straight
mouth are usually struggling to control the urge to kill
Take this as a warning and even if you don't know what you've done
Stop doing it now

This was inspired by Amie's 7s I was considering the concept of pointless rules
You're getting ready for a new semester aren't you? I've already restarted my home students but the theater of the preternaturally absurd doesn't start until the nineteenth. Can't wait!
How we love our teachers!

An absolute favourite! Great to hear from a teachers mouth. Thank you :)
uh oh, that's me buggered then. always chewing. always asking questions and always teasing the teachers. (isn't that part of the curriculum?)
Sue, I love this. The other day I was on a boring bus ride with only my little notebook to entertain me so I made a poem out of the rules I saw posted. You, Amie and I must be on the same wavelength.
I didnt do it. I swear. It wasnt me.
(see also: I stopped doing whtever it was i wasnt doing)
No Russel, we're back to that theater already, I must admit I have a difficult time keeping a straight face sometimes
Glad you enjoyed it Nicole
Absolutley CJ, well they'd have more chance of getting the kids attention if it were
Please post it Patry if you haven't as you can tell I get a bit hung up on the amusement factor of red tape
Aisha smatterings of a guilty consience there I think (see little devil on your shoulder
Hey, you're definitely improving. Some great poems. Love this one.

Amie nostalger does wonderful things to the past, it kind of paints over the unplesent bits.

Pins you are very naughty and I will be sending you a detention, don't forget to house train it or it will make your carpets smelly.
Nasra I know what you mean, I'd love the freedom just to study without having to fit work around it.
Perfect!!! Would you mind if I shared this with my collegues? This is a wonderful satire on school life. You sound like a great teacher? What grade do you teach?
Good insights here. Brings back the school days!
