Mr Bahlmann is an English studies teacher at Auckland Grammar School (AGS).
He is fondly adored by his students and uses many grasping techniques to catch and hold their attentions.
These techniques have been used globally for centuries as an incredibly succesfull means of teaching.
Techniques
Insults - Used to show that the teacher does in fact not care about the students personal issues.
Repetition - Using the same sayings or phrases multiple times to make the students think they are alot more capable than the teacher.
Gestures - The use of hand signals, such as pointing to elaborate a command.
Impatience - The lack of tolerance implies the need for a controlled classroom environment.
The Ant Bear
A character that has only recently been introduced into Mr Bahlmann's teaching curriculum that is used for most scenarios.
It provides comical relief but can also adhere a serious learning strategy which is well known by his recent students as being an extreme mockery and insult to his previous teachings.
Although this strategy quite often results in a confrontation between Mr Bahlmann and his students, it can be extremely effective.
