[Magic.]

- "Forget" your stuff in your locker (if you have one) and have to go and search for it. Come back to the lesson 10/15 minutes later without it and say "I must have left it at home, I searched everywhere."
- Write essays using metaphors. My friend wrote her entire mock university entry history paper by comparing history to a bus - detailing why a bus was the only vehicle it could be likened to.
- In Maths during A levels we did no work on fridays ever. It was last period and my friend and I dubbed it "fat fridays" two weeks into year 12. This meant spending lunch in the pub / park. Then showing up to lesson with biscuits/crisps/cakes/coke etc After a few months our teacher gave up being annoyed and joined in. He even cleared a shelf to store the food on, and bought stuff in himself.
