Q: There is a saying that goes, “Always be extra nice to your enemies. Nothing annoys them more.” Try to be as polite as possible in class, and don't take the bait if your teacher tries to get a rise out of you.  Eventually, this may wear them down and they'll start treating you like one of their favorites. And if not – well, it will really annoy them that you don't seem to be upset by them anymore. Pay special attention to the kids that the teacher treats best. Try to act like they do, and use the same tone of voice. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, ask yourself, “How would (your teacher's favorite) handle this? What would they probably say?” The number one pet peeve of most teachers is being ignored in class. Think how it would feel if you read a report in class, and the kids started talking to each other like you weren't there – no fun, right?  Pretend you're taking notes. Work on homework for a different class, write a poem or story, or make “to-do” lists. Avoid drawing or doodling, because most teachers can see that it isn't writing from across the room. If you're too shy to hand it to your teacher, leave it on their desk at the end of the day with a little note just saying the gift is from you and you hope they enjoy it.  If you get juice or a candy bar between classes, buy two and bring one to your teacher. Pay attention to which topics your teacher seems to be most excited about, then print out a funny or interesting article about it. Bake cookies or brownies, and wrap up a few little bundles of 2-3 cookies each. Hand them out to all your friends and teachers. This way it won't look like you specifically brought them to kiss up to your annoying teacher. If on assignment they give numbers 1-20 plus a bonus problem, always answer the bonus question. If your grades aren't the best, ask if you can do an additional project to improve your grade. Your teacher will be impressed by your initiative, and may treat you better as well. Although it's difficult to get past your own feelings sometimes, it's important to see if there is anything you can change. Are you late all the time? Do you forget to do your homework? Do you interrupt her when she is giving a lecture? Correct your behavior and your teacher will probably treat you better. If your teacher keeps calling on you and embarrassing you with difficult questions, try rephrasing the question before you answer it. She may not realize you don't understand the material – she might just think you haven't been doing the work.
A: Kill them with kindness. Watch how other students interact with them. Always look like you're paying attention. Bring them a gift. Do extra credit. Don't do anything to make the situation worse. Rephrase confusing questions.

Article: Turn the oven on to 410°F (210°C). Get out a baking dish or roasting pan that's large enough to hold all of the chicken in a single layer. Put the dish in the oven to heat up as the oven heats. Putting the chicken into a hot pan will create a crispy crust. Crack 1 egg into a shallow prep bowl. Pour in 1/3 cup (80 ml) of milk and whisk the egg and milk together until the egg is completely incorporated. Set this mixture aside. In another prep bowl, place 1 cup (125 g) of all-purpose flour and 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs. Measure the baking powder and seasonings into the bowl and combine them. You'll need to whisk in:  1 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon salt 2 teaspoons ground paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper Take 2 pounds (900 g) of boneless skinless chicken breast and use a sharp knife to cut each breast into three or four pieces. Place the chicken strips into the dry mixture and toss them until they're coated. Shake off any excess from the pieces. You'll need to coat them in batches, since all of the chicken won't fit in the bowl at the same time. Transfer the chicken to the bowl with the egg mixture and cover each strip in the egg mixture. You'll need to do this in batches, so you don't crowd the chicken. Put the coated chicken strips back into the bowl with the dry coating. Toss the chicken strips again, so they're completely covered with the dry mixture. Use hot pads to take the baking dish out of the oven. Put 1/4 cup (60 g) of butter into it. It should melt quickly in the hot pan. Once the butter melts, lay the coated chicken strips in the pan. Put the hot pan back into the preheated oven and bake the oven-fried chicken for 10 to 12 minutes. You should see the chicken crisp up and become golden brown. Using boneless, skinless chicken and cutting it into strips helps the chicken cook quickly. Remove the pan from the oven and use a thin spatula or tongs to carefully flip the chicken over. Return the pan to the oven and bake the chicken for another 5 to 10 minutes. This will help the other side become crispy. Remove the pan from the oven and serve the oven-fried chicken. If you want an even crispier crust, consider broiling the chicken for a few minutes until it's as crunchy as you like it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Preheat the oven and the baking dish. Combine the egg and milk. Whisk the dry coating. Cut and dip the chicken into the dry coating. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture. Dip the chicken into the dry coating again. Melt the butter in the pan and add the chicken pieces. Bake the oven-fried chicken. Flip the chicken and finish baking it.

Q: There are a few common bad practices to keep your eye out for, and lenders are more likely to try these practices on someone with bad credit. A few examples are outlined below.   Loan Flipping  involves repeated encouragement to refinance your loan, and borrow more money each time. Refinancing comes with fees and increases your interest rate.   Insurance Packing  is the policy of adding unnecessary insurance, such as credit insurance, to your loan.   Bait and Switch  is a tactic used by lenders to offer a set of terms, and then push higher charges right before you sign the paperwork. If your lender tries to change the loan terms on you last minute, don’t fall for it.   Equity Stripping  is when a lender offers you a loan that is solely based on the value of your home and not on your ability to repay. This is an attempt to have you default on your loan and forfeit your property. To avoid this, look at your finances and be sure you can confidently pay each monthly payment. Because your house is being held as the source of collateral, defaulting on a home equity loan can put your home in danger. Before you decide to open either of these types of loans, be sure you can pay the borrowed money back.   Don’t borrow more than you can repay. This is the easiest way to lose your house to a lender. Some home equity loans will punish you for paying ahead of schedule. This means that, even if you are able to pay off your debt earlier than expected, you may not be able to. If there is a distinct possibility of paying your debt ahead of schedule, consider negotiating the prepayment penalties out of the contract. If for some reason you realize you have made a mistake, and less than three days have passed since the contract was signed, you can legally cancel the contract. You have until midnight on the third business day to cancel the transaction, starting on the day you sign the credit contract. You can only cancel if you are using your principal home as collateral. If you decide to cancel, you must tell the lender in writing.
A:
Be careful for deceptive lenders. Recognize the consequences of defaulting. Check for prepayment penalties. Know the Three-Day Cancellation Rule.
