Staying Quiet to Avoid the Iron Throne
In a brilliant twist on classroom management, a math teacher in Belgium found the ultimate way to keep things quiet: “Game of Thrones” spoilers. With the wildly popular series captivating audiences worldwide, this tactic was nothing short of genius. The mere threat of revealing plot twists was enough to hush the entire room.
No reminders, no reprimands—just a strategic whisper of potential spoilers. This approach turned classroom control into an art form, showing that sometimes, the best tool for focus is a well-timed cultural reference. For these students, staying quiet meant more than respect; it meant keeping their beloved show’s secrets safe.
