How to Annoy a Teacher

It is quite easy to annoy a teacher-even the most patient, kind-hearted teacher in the world-if you follow these simple steps.
First always come to class just a little late. Second make as much noise as possible as you enter the room. Then, greet all your friends with a cheerful wave-or even better, with a shouted greeting. Before you sit down, slam your heavy backpack down on the floor next to your desk and do a few stretching exercise. (After all, you will be sitting still for the next 40 minutes or so!) Finally make a big, gaping yawn and take your seat.
As soon as the lesson begins, raise your hand and ask to be excused to go to the restroom. Second, be sure to slam the door, and again, make as much noise as possible while taking your seat. In the next few minutes, turn the pages of your book noisily, search in your backpack for a pencil, ask your neighbor if you can borrow an eraser, and announce in a loud voice that you cannot find your homework. Next, raise your hand and ask to be excused to look for it in your locker.
If the teacher should happen to call on you during the class, mumble an answer. When he or she asks you to speak up, mumble again-maybe a little louder this time, but still not loudly enough to be heard. If the teacher dares to ask you a third time, give a loud and clear answer to the previous question-the one your classmate answered a minute ago-and smile smugly as you do so.
In conclusion, if these techniques do not achieve the desired results, you can always fold your arms across your desk, put your head down, and take a nap. Just do not forgot to snore!
