"Listen up, teachers. It's time to begin our staff meeting. Today, we're fielding ideas for helping the kids learn to spell. Who wants to go first?"

"Okay, hear me out... I was thinking maybe it would get them really focused if we make learning feel like a matter of life and death..."

Does lore confirm he's innocent?

I am adding it in.

Makes more sense to try and save them.

Maybe the word we need to work out might be exculpatory.

ah you have a point. maybe the hangman is in fact jeffrey dahmer in which case we’ll make the hangman word “Worcestershire” and make kindergarten kids play the game.

So there was a little Jewish boy being schooled locally in the community. And he was getting terrible grades. Would never study, failed all of his tests, skipped school. The works.

In a fit of desperation his parents decided to enroll him in a Catholic school there was renowned for being super strict. They figured if those Nuns couldn’t sort him out, nobody could.

Sure enough, his first day back from school he went straight to his room and studied for hours. And this continued for weeks. After his first report card arrived his parents were thrilled to see he had all passing grades, and even an A in math which had previously been his worst subject.

So his parents went to talk to him about how his behavior had changed, and what it was about the Catholic school that their own community couldn’t provide. “Was it the strictness of the nuns?” They asked.

“No” he replied.

“Do they have a better curriculum? Is the material more engaging?” They tried again.

“No, and no” he answered.

“Well then what was it?” They asked in confusion.

“From the moment I walked in there and saw the guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren’t messing around!”
