2. Always drop your rubbish on the floor on stick it in a desk.
3. Be sure to write with a liquid paper, a pen, or a chalk on a desk.
4. Always listen to an MP3 and engage in useless talk with your friends in class.
5. Be sure to wear your clothes like an idiot; leave your shirt, wear slippers, or walk on your pants.
6. Never listen to the teacher, always ask him after class what he said to do.
7. Be sure to tell the teacher he is wrong; disrespect everybody.
8. Make sure you read magazines and cartoons in class.
9. Don’t forget to sleep in class.
