No, not a single one. It was ludicrous exercise. Read it in some teaching literature once as being a great way to boost your students self-esteem, and not to stigmatise them about making mistakes (learning opportunities, not mistakes).
There was a lot of nonsensical mumbo-jumbo around teaching in the 90's.
EDIT>>>>for the record, the last few years I was teaching (1998-2003) I went very oldschool in my approach, hard marking, being honest with students who were shit, or underperforming, lots of grammar based lessons, as opposed to topic-based and communicative work, and if the truth be told the students found it more useful, learned better, enjoyed it more, and most importantly IMO had more enthusiasm....

mugz mugz mugz.
?). I told him we'd been out on the piss, my mate went AWOL, me and his bird had come back to the flat looking for him and found him KO'ed surrounded by booze and the blues were missing. The paramedic said "he must have taken GBL at the club". No idea where that came from as no one mentioned GBL, my mate had never taken GBL and the chances of that happening had to be slim. I told him I didn't think that had happened and he told me he was the professional and I should stop making guesses about what he'd taken and that it was probably G. I showed him the empty bag that had contained the valium and he dismissed it. He was rude and dismissive about everything any of us said. He took my mate to hospital and didn't even bother to pass the info about the diaz onto the nurses or doctors, told them he had just drank too much. My mate never got his stomach pumped and the hospital never found out, when my mate woke up he lied to the doctors and said he drank too much booze because he was embarrassed to admit he tried to top himself. He was out his tits for days after they let him out. ![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
