Stop dying, already!
My teachers… they die too much. Sometimes, they get sick or take a few days off… sometimes they go their workshops or coach some sports team… whatever the reason, I have supply teachers every other day. But sometimes, they actually “die” - by “die”, I don’t mean die, (well, they sort of die) but take long, long vacations.
During my unfinished highschool years, I had a few such cases. One teacher got drunk in a car accident not to return till the Final Exams… another teacher, was only temporary, and went away after half the semester, and left another teacher as a replacement. One could really wonder who really was the actual teacher and who was the supply. It was all too sudden… we were never told of this. And now, our teacher “falls of the staircase and breaks her arm” or something like that… well, we’ve got a new teacher; but there is just so much disorder, so much panic! Who am I to complain if my marks are bound to increase?

Speaking of supply teachers, I saw "Catch Me If You Can" on the weekend... it's a delightful movie, and in it Leonardo di Caprio transfers to a new school, and instead of going to his desk, pretends to be the supply teacher!
Maybe you should try that sometime, Oleg. At another school though, because you're too conspicuous at Don Mills.
