 listening to a teacher, or stop stalking someone.

Notes

• The response depends on both the activity and its current state. For example, STOP STALK says "You're not stalking anything though." when idle, while STOP CLIMB says "You weren't practicing your climbing skills anyway."
• STOP TEACH can end a class, cancel a pending teaching offer, or report that you are not teaching anyone. STOP TEACH <PERSON> affects only the named student.
• STOP LISTEN can still end the listening state after the teacher has left, in which case it reports, "You stop listening to your class."
