A teacher's best friend

I was just reminded of The Devil Wears Prada today when I realized that it would be amazing to have a talking Miranda Priestly doll to take to class.

Kids are slowing coming into class and you push #1- "By all means, move at a glacial pace. you know how that thrills me."

I ask the kids to get out their work and they either don't have it or it's not finished, push #2- "Why is no one READY?"

After going over an assignment to do in class a student comes up to ask a question, push #3- "...please bore someone else with your... questions. "

Right as the bell rings, push #4- "That's all."

and the doll would be slightly larger than a Barbie so she can stand on my desk, but not get in the way.

I think it's awesome and after I get a job (and tenured, b/c it might get complaints) I'm going to make a talking Miranda Priestly doll and use her daily in class
