Math teacher threatens students with Game of Thrones spoilers

Any teacher knows that getting children to behave in class can often be a challenge, but one math teacher in Belgium has a unique method for keeping his students in line.
The schoolteacher asked the students who watched Game of Thrones, and a majority raised their hands. When the students continued to misbehave, he wrote the names of the characters who died in the third season on the board, "for those who [had not seen it]." After that, the students were much more attentive to their lessons.
"Well, I've read all the books," the teacher told Belgian newspaper Nieuwsblad. "If there is too much noise, I will write the name of the dead on the board. They are enough to fill the whole year, and I can even describe how they die."
