Where to begin?

The Educator! Sounds like a spandex-wearing, homework-wielding Marvel creation. Let me assure I'm not, although superhero powers would be awesome in silencing troublesome classes and members of the senior management team. Imagine this...

"Excuse me sir?" Uttered the boy for the umpteenth time. The Educator, unimpressed with the constant interruption, used all his powers to calm himself down. But with a mischievous grin, he changed his mind and stupefied the boy with his knowledge stare, rendering the miscreant useless. Satisfied, The Educator continued with the lesson as the Deputy Head poked his head in.

"Sorry to disturb you," uttered the Headmaster's simpering sycophant, "but is there any chance you could pop in to see me at break?" The Educator raised one eyebrow and looked at the class. One brave boy nodded and said quietly, "Use the disintegrator ray sir." The Educator seemed pleased with this and turned to address the irksome presence within his domain. Without saying a word, he retrieved the pen from the interactive whiteboard, raised it and blasted the Deputy Head into a pile of white dust. The door closed silently as the dust of the former bothersome member of staff gently dissipated and the class broke into a round of applause...

Good teachers are a rare breed of folk. If, like me, you love the profession, but loathe the politics and the nonsense, then stick with The Educator. He can't promise to blast away your troubles with his fearsome powers, but he can make you feel a little better. More adventures coming soon...
