Time to wake up, kids. School is about to start. This teacher is fully aware that a loud noise will get kids to look up from their phones or take their earbuds out, but he also does not want to scare them. So, he lets them know beforehand. It all makes perfect sense.
After that, of course, it is down to business as usual, learning about gerunds or the Alamo or the quadratic formula or something like that. The best part is that this tactic would work well at the beginning of the day or at the end of the day.
I Want Four Hours a Day, No Exceptions
Learning how to play music, read music, or do anything involving music does not just happen by accident. You have to put a lot of thought into it, and that means lots of hard work. Music teachers, thus, can sometimes seem mean to poor students who just want to get to the end of the day.
This teacher knew he or she could be a little nicer and let the students know that. Except, syke, no, this teacher is going to continue being mean until you get better at your chosen instrument. This is really giving us the same vibes from that movie "Whiplash."
All Hans on Deck
If you have spent enough time on the internet, you have probably seen this one floating around, but it is always nice to go back to the classics. And just as you saw this image for the first time at one point, so will everybody else. It is simple, it's quick, and it's funny.
It uses Star Wars – perhaps one of the most popular things ever – and it brings in a little tiny bit of music theory. We bet that Han would be great on lead guitar — but as part of a choir? He has to go his own way, Princess.
Or Both, We Guess
You are probably aware of Schrodinger and his famous cat example of quantum physics. A cat is placed inside a box with a radioactive element that is triggered by opening the box. The element will kill the cat fifty percent of the time, and leave it alive the other fifty percent. Is the cat dead or alive?
Well, common knowledge says it's both, but Schrodinger was actually mocking the scientists that argued for quantum states – he was actually saying we just don't know. The cat is either alive or dead, but you won't find out until you open the box.
Let It Go, Please
“Frozen” really hit the world hard. Nobody could escape its immense gravitational pull. Everybody heard the songs, saw the characters, and – even if it was under duress – watched the movie. “Let It Go,” the standout song of the movie, is an amazing piece of music, and if you do not like it, then you are wrong. There, we said it.
HOWEVER, even the biggest fan, having to listen to it without end will make it something that stings in your ears. One classroom had heard it just about enough and decided that something had to be done. Did this sign actually help?
