Five teachers The clues
Five teachers met at an educational conference. Their first names were Myron, Mildred, Mavis, Mark and Moe, and their last names were Learner, Texton, Graden, Passerly and Study. They taught different subjects at five different schools. They taught maths, science, English, geography and history at Howard High, Menzies High, Holt High, Hawke High and Scullin High. They all had nicknames their students called them behind their backs. The students called them ‘Ironsides’, ‘Sergeant’, ‘Tyrant’, ‘General’ and ‘Da Boss’. Based on the clues, match the teachers with their last names, their subjects, their schools and their affectionate nicknames.
1. Graden, the ‘Tyrant’, taught maths at the Howard High. 2. Learner, better known as ‘Ironsides,’ taught science at Scullin High. 3. Mavis would have been surprised to hear that her students called her ‘Sergeant’. 4. Mark did not teach maths, he thought Learner was an intelligent person, and they both admired Mildred’s beauty. 5. Myron’s last name was not either Learner or Graden. 6. ‘Da Boss’ taught geography, and the ‘General’ taught English, but neither of them taught at Menzies High. 7. Study taught history, and Myron was not Passerly. 8. Passerly was called ‘General’. 9. Texton taught geography, and the English teacher taught at Hawke High.
