A whole class submitting their homework on the due date is equal to the teacher being over the moon. This is a real formula. Never be late too. Even if a student is a microsecond late the teacher would start yelling at the top of their lungs. Experts advise not to be late in school or you’ll face the menacing punishment of the teacher. If a student’s handwriting is illegible, teachers would hit the roof. Be initiative and lead the class as much as possible when the teacher isn’t there. Also never dare to miss school. These teachers who drink coffee for a living would be very mad if a student is absent. Some evil teachers may not even help you with what you missed. There are many cunning teachers, so be careful.

How to be the Teacher’s Pet By Ishaan 6C:

Firstly, make sure to never goof around in class. Be warned, if you do, then there's NO chance of being a teacher’s pet. Teachers want kids who turn into statues.
