Teacher Was a Pirate in a Past Life

8> She focuses on the three ARRRRRRs.

7> Those appear to be doubloons in his penny loafers.

6> Confuses the terms “going to the principal’s office” and
“getting keel-hauled.”

5> He invites the teacher’s pet to sit on his shoulder and squawk
out the answers.

4> Constantly harassing the cafeteria staff to stock more citrus
fruit.

3> He’s afraid to go down the Biology hall. Something about
being scared of that Dave Jones kid’s locker.

2> His timbers shiver even when it’s not cold.
