As long as he promises not to cause any trouble, from what I've heard he has behavioural problems.

you can't say "might i go to the toilet please Kether" during class, because that would be wrong.
i'm sure i've heard 'might' used in that context in Shakespeare plays. but then that’s not really the best piece of literature to learn grammar by

I'll be quite willing to make this a free and bi-weekly event.
Prize of a free wimpy burger and shake to whoever comes top of the class.
Any takers?
Not everyone speaks with the same accent so I don't see why everyone sound have to spell properly either.

I reckon your first lesson should include "you're" and "your" and which is which.
Are you gonna do lessons on when to use "may" and when to use "might"? Could do with learning that...
You're means "you are" as in you're driving me insane = you are driving me insane.
May and might...
May is sort of asking for/giving permission as in "May I go to the toilet Miss?"..."No, you may not"
Might is just a possibility. "I might give myself a bikini wax" and "You might be lucky enough win the lottery"
I think thats explained it enough. If not, just ask the substitute teacher, Mr Ginge.

Might is just a possibility. "I might give myself a bikini wax" and "You might be lucky enough win the lottery"
that's kind of right but not really... 
"may" is a verbal auxiliary which means "to have the ability to". as in, "you may go now". it can also be reversed to take the form of a question "may i go now?"
might is simply the past form of may - using the same example: "he might have gone". it also functions as the future conditional "he might be there if..."
from looking at the strict definitions of these words, it's clear they've become misused greatly and are now often used interchangeably.
i think english is a beautiful language and it seems mildly amusing how many people, especially online, give others grief for asking people to simply use it right...
"you're" and "your" are two very obvious candidates but also:
"they're", "their" and "there"
"to", "too" and "two"
"its" and "it's"
it's also amazing how many people don't know how to use an apostrophe properly...
