This is a satirical joke article. It is a story about Joe McGrath, who plays the role of a teacher known simply as Mr. Joe. In the story, Mr. Joe’s roster include a Russian immigrant boy, a girl with autism, four choirboys, and a behavioral health professional (BHP).
The Story
Once upon blue moon, in a part of America far far away, a man named Mr. Joe is hired to be the special needs teacher at Ruth Bader Ginsburg Elementary-High School. He is put in charge of Room 77, which includes the following students:
- Sergey, a seven-year-old Russian immigrant boy
- Jakeeta, a fourteen-year-old African-American girl with autism who is homeless
- Todd, a nine-year-old choirboy
- Timmy, a seven-year-old choirboy
- Mark, an eleven-year-old choirboy
- Ricky, a ten-year-old choirboy
Helping out is a behavioral health professional (BHP) named Mr. Ashton, who looks like a younger boy but is really 27 years old.
During math class, which occurs during second block, Joe is teaching the class multiplication when suddenly, Todd, Mark, Ricky, and Timmy begin singing, disrupting the class in the process.
Mr. Joe tells the four choirboys to shut up. They do not listen and begin singing louder.
Later, during English, which occurs during fifth block, Jakeeta begins swearing and death-threatening Sergey, who begins crying and speaking Russian. Mr. Ashton, the BHP in charge of Jakeeta, doesn’t stop her from misbehaving.
At this point, Mr. Joe has a nervous breakdown and he jumps through an open window, leaving the students unsupervised. The principal, Ms. Faye, asks what happened, to which Ricky, Todd, Timmy, and Mark begin to sing the Scottish hymn “Amazing Grace”, which is usually reserved for funerals. Hearing this makes Ms. Faye think that Mr. Joe is dead. As funeral, Mr. Joe is fired, even though he is actually still alive.
