“The subtle humidity may cause slight discomfort to a student, but the assortment of memes, morbid French Revolution propaganda, and signs that say things like “Do Not Scream,” will certainly peak one’s interest. String lights may create a cozier ambiance, although the student-drawn caricature and caption reading “Fear the Jones,” might retail some concern into the brains of new students.

Despite this, Mr. Jones of H-103 is not one to be afraid of. His professional demeanor may seem intimidating at first, however students soon settle into the routine of his class. A typical class period goes as follows: homework collection and bellwork, followed by lecture notes and an assignment. Occasionally, activities and projects are thrown into the mix, but nothing is ever too wild.

In fact, nothing is all too wild about Mr. Jones; other than his interest in cars, he’s a pretty standard teacher. But like any normal human, he makes mistakes; misplacing papers and forgetting to return them is not a rare occurrence. The Google Slides presentations that are used for lecture notes are often ridden with grammatical errors and word art. All is well though, as he is open to suggestions and critique, unlike some other teachers.

Some teachers have overly complicated grading scales and rubrics, but in H-103, simplicity is key. If the work is completed on time, credit is given. At the start of every class, homework is collected from each row. Mr. Jones then proceeds to select from a plethora of adorable stamps which he uses to assign credit to each completed paper. Work is turned at the end of each chapter for a grade that is based on the number of stamps. Tests and quizzes are scantrons and include multiple-choice questions. This simple and to-the-point grading system is easy to understand, which is quite refreshing in comparison to the elaborate requirements that other teachers have.

Every person has their own sense of humor, and Mr. Jones is no exception. His sarcastically serious remarks confuse targets into obedience while causing surrounding students to buckle over in laughter. This kind of attitude may make it seem like he’s a jokester, but when students have genuine questions, they receive genuine answers. That is, if the student isn’t a knucklehead. Those kinds of kids are allowed to shine in their spotlights of stupidity, providing entertainment to their peers, but only for a short while, as Mr. Jones quickly restores order.

Two minutes before the end of each period, a gloriously catchy anthem fills the classroom. The Munsters theme song is a signal for students to begin cleaning up. Although this may seem childish, it’s a great way to alert tired students of the progressing day. The obnoxious humming and eccentric dancing that come along with the commencement of this tune are also rather amusing.

Mr. Jones, sovereign of H-103, has his faults just as everyone else does, but his mildly sardonic comments, methods of humiliation, and consistent lessons are what make his classes truly enjoyable.” —Anonymous
