The document provides tips on how to be strange in class without getting a detention. It recommends starting by being mildly strange with strict teachers and gradually increasing the strange behavior with more laidback teachers. Key tips include having fun, using appropriate randomness, learning from mistakes, and avoiding going overboard or acting in a way that requires mental health care. Examples given are responding to wins or requests from teachers with made-up phrases. The goal is to be entertaining but not disruptive enough to warrant disciplinary action.

1. How to Be Strange and Not Get a Detention By N i k o l a s S m i t h

2. Introduction Being strange can be easy to master, but to do that without getting a detention can be a hard task to master. I myself have been doing this for years and never have gotten a detention.

3. The Stuff You Need A school classroom A small, non-serious student class Last, a cool, laid-back teacher.

4. Steps Step one: Arrive at school normally. Step two: Ease your way through being strange starting with your most strict teacher. Start there because you’ll be just a little strange. Then work your way into being more strange until you’re in your most laid-back teacher’s class. By then you’ve probably gotten into being strange. Step three: Be at least a little cool so you don’t make everybody annoyed at you, especially your teacher (that would ruin the “and not get a detention” part). Step four: Make sure you’re having fun, because if you’re not then it’s pointless.

5. Helpful Tips Having an awesome nickname is a good thing to make you cooler. While being strange, be cool and be a little mature. A good thing to remember is randomness in the right way which means being appropriate. Make extraneous noises when more appropriate like before class but not during the time when someone is talking to the class. Learn from your mistakes, like if you get a detention don’t do what made you get a detention.

6. Warning/what (not) to do Be appropriate Don’t go overboard No swearing Don’t stalk people Don’t act completely like you need mental health care Listen to the “If you don’t stop you’re going to get a detention!”

7. Example(s) Example one: After winning a game in instead of saying “Yes!” say “Res!” in a deep voice. Example two: When your laid back teacher (in a good mood) tells you to do something you don’t want to do say “wuzza fuzza?”. Example three: Make noises at the end of the day when leaving school.

8. Hope you are successful in being strange and take note of everything because you don’t want to get a detention. Closing
