Silence at the Back Desk!

A collection of funny stories from school life!

Schoolchildren have many problems besides their grades. The authors of this collection told how some of them can be solved brilliantly. Or not brilliantly, but with a bang. So…

Onchuks olats? (boring?)—Try writing a reverse dictation!

Schedule nothing, do nothing during the holidays—and still get everything done?—Easy!

They assigned to write an essay on a text you didn’t read?—No problem: you can just make it up.

No pocket money given?—Great idea for saving some cash! Learn to bargain and you’ll save a ton of money. Just don’t forget: the miser pays twice.
