The Bermuda Triangle Award
The world is always changing, yet certain things never change. One of these is kids inventing reasons to avoid doing their schoolwork. This was not an exception for Josh Hance. Mrs. Azrai, his teacher, was not pleased with his actions and immediately exposed his lies. She presented him with the “Bermuda Triangle Award” in a comical gesture of justice. After all, scientists have struggled for generations to explain why hundreds of ships disappear (like Josh’s schoolwork) when they reach this stretch of the Atlantic Ocean. This certificate symbolized his mischievousness while also reminded him to take his responsibilities seriously.
Calling the Mozart
Music is a powerful art form that should be valued. This teacher recognized this and sought to reinforce the idea in an unusual way. Instead of putting up a sign saying “Do Not Touch,” they used comedy. They drew the pupils’ attention with the words “Unless you’re Mozart.” The message was amusing, but it also had a deeper meaning. Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, is no longer living, but his music lives on. We’re talking about the man who gave us “Symphony No. 40” and “Piano Sonata No. 11” with his photographic musical memory. He wrote his first piece at the age of four, so it’s no surprise that this instructor chose him as an example.
