Due to the confusing nature of the course, students enrolled in Algebra 2 are apt to nap at their desks after resigning themselves from the lesson. Because administrators have seen the writing on the wall, Algebra 2 will be renamed Nap Class, where students will be taught the academics of sleeping.
Mr. Maddock, an Algebra teacher at WHS, has seen this coming for a some time now.
“It doesn’t come as a shock to me. Students bring pillows and blankets to my classes all the time. This one student even brought in a night light once. It doesn’t bother me that I have to come up with a brand new syllabus; I have the power to teach anything,” Mr. Maddock said.
Mr. Maddock’s students weren’t even surprised by the curricular change, because they claimed they thought his class was for taking a nap.
“I used to bring in a warm glass of milk to help me fall asleep quicker. I thought that we were getting graded on how quickly we would fall asleep,” Sophomore Sheenika Greenidge said. “There was a student who actually got a prescription filled for sleeping pills.”
Mr. Maddock is confident that his students will do a phenomenal job in his brand new class and is prepared for anything.
“I already have the first lesson planned, which discusses what side of the desk is the most beneficial to sleep on,” said Mr Maddock.
