After Miranda and I landed here years ago,
there was this ugly creature we got to know.
The only one of Sycorax the Witch's offspring,
he has to be the most hideous living thing.
This island's inhabitant is half beast and half man.
He is our servant, and his name is Caliban.
Caliban is someone I am unable to trust.
He tried to victimize my daughter with his lust.
Because of his attempted lecherous crime,
he has to be kept in check all of the time.
Caliban has seemingly obdurate incorrigibility,
I have to constantly threaten him with my sorcery.
based on the play "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare

Instructing these pupils can be quite hectic.
How do you combat their incorrigibility?
Sometimes, it seems like an impossibility.
This is a task that displays formidability.
