In an attempt to make his class behave, a maths teacher in Belgium has resorted to revealing forthcoming plot twists in HBO series Game of Thrones

It sounds like the sort of stunt Mr Burton would pull on his pupils in Channel 4 series Educating Yorkshire, but it's in Belgium that a teacher is threatening to punish students by revealing Game of Thrones spoilers. Aware of how much his class love the series, the maths teacher vowed to reveal forthcoming deaths in the HBO show if his class didn't quieten down.



How does he know about the deaths? He's read George R.R. Martin's books.

“I've read all the books,” he told the class. “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.”

To prove he meant business, he went as far as to write down the names of those killed off in the third series on the board in front of the class - much to the dismay of one of his students, who decided to blog about the incident on the French site DansTonChat.
