Educators of the world take notes, as this might be the best way to reigning over your rowdy students.

When a math teacher in Belgium had trouble trying to control his unruly class, he decided that the only way to take back control was by threatening them with Game of Thrones spoilers. The Telegraph reports:
Asking his students which of them watched the fantasy drama, the majority raised their hands, to which the teacher responded: "Well, I've read all the books. If there is too much noise, I will write the names of the dead on the board.

...[T]he teacher continued: "They [the dead] are enough to fill the whole year and I can even describe how they die."
When the pupils did not quiet down immediately, he began writing the names of dead characters on the board, and it worked!
