One educator in Belgium seems to have found a solution to that particular problem: revealing Game of Thrones spoilers. 
 
 Belgian daily Het Nieuwsblad reports that one math teacher , after confirming his students are fan of the HBO series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice novels, told them he would reveal deaths from the as-yet unreleased seasons of the TV show if they did not remain quiet during class. (Despite growing concerns about Martin's writing pace, the books — which the Belgian teacher has read — remain ahead of the TV series.) 
 
 The tactic is proving effective so far, although one classmate who reads ahead could easily undermine his whole plan. For now, however, the teacher's approach remains evil and brilliant in equal measures — fitting qualities for a Game of Thrones -based scheme.

To punish your unruly students, what with their iPads and dragons, you have to think like your unruly students, get all Yo, Teach on them. With that in mind, meet the George R.R. Martin of Belgium teachers. 
 
 When his disciples were chatting a whole lesson, the [mathematics] teacher asked who watched Game of Thrones. Nearly everyone raised his hand. “Well, I’ve read all the books,” the teacher replied. “If there is another too much noise, I write the name of the dead on the board. They are there enough to fill the whole year and I can even describe how they die.” When some students took the threat seriously, the teacher wrote the prompt killing of the third season on the board. Then it was quiet. (Via) 
 
 That last sentence, via Google Translate, even sounds like something Martin would write. Hopefully this idea doesn’t catch on here in America, though — high school would have been that much worse if my history teacher had spoiled what happened to Abe Lincoln before I finished reading The Death of Abe Lincoln.

– A Belgian teacher has come up with possibly the smartest idea ever to keep his students in line: The math teacher, knowing the kids in his class love Game of Thrones, has threatened to reveal upcoming deaths on the show if they act out during class. The teacher has read George RR Martin's books, which are still ahead of the TV series, explain Time and Warming Glow, citing a Belgian paper. "If there is another too much noise, I write the name of the dead on the board," the teacher reportedly said. "They are there enough to fill the whole year and I can even describe how they die."
