<h2>It&#8217;s coming up to World Book Day, so let&#8217;s find out.</h2>
<h3>Since the magical dawn of time, school children have been turning teachers into parodies; much like our favourite children&#8217;s book authors. </h3>
<p>Somehow, the nuanced human experience of a teacher slides by unnoticed in most classrooms. Still, there&#8217;s unique delight in being caricatured by petite wordsmiths. (10 points to Gryffindor if you tell us what nicknames students have given you.)</p>
<p>The &#8216;good-cop-bad-cop&#8217; binary is one that pigeonholes most teachers under the imaginative gaze of a child&#8230; Kids will think you&#8217;re mean or you&#8217;re nice; there&#8217;s no in-between. So what category do you think your class has you boxed int0? Not sure? </p>
<h5>Picture yourself in the following scenarios, add 1 every time you side with our half-moon-spectacled friend and minus 1 every time Trunchbull is your spirit animal. </h5>
