Hi! I’m brumeier, and this week we’re going to be filling themes inspired by the movie Grease (And Grease 2 because I like it and I’m not sorry!), using 100 words or any multiple of 100. Today’s theme is SCHOOL. Any school related prompts are fair game today, whether your characters are in high school or college, or they’re teaching, or maybe just breaking

Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes +/ John Watson, Sherlock goes undercover as a school teacher

Fill -- Making the Grade

[vanillafluffy]

Ostensibly a teacher, Sherlock is undercover investigating rumors of a cheating scandal. He endures mindless paperwork, but the general cluelessness of the students themselves is nearly intolerable. Now the headmaster wants to see him? Why?

“Could you be more specific?” And faster--damn it, he has papers to correct.

“The parents think you’re asking too much. That vocabulary list you sent home is quite advanced for thirteen-year olds.”

Right? I could picture him going off on one of his poly-syllabic diatribes while the students stared blankly at him. And when he's done, one of them got up the nerve to ask what some term or other meant--hence, the vocabulary list of doom!

Challenge them kids, Sherlock! Heck yeah! Love that he commits to it so much, haha. :D

Well, we all know Sherlock doesn't suffer fools--so what better way to avoid the problem than to fix it before it starts? Get them early and educate them well!
