#8: Stars and Ostriches
I guess all teachers have their unique habits and vices. Some teachers eat a jar of jelly beans every morning, and others have unique calls they perform every time their students ace a test. We’ll never know why they do it, as it’s too awkward to ask. So, you just have to accept them as they are and share your funny stories online.
This one habit is particularly strange. This astronomy teacher would perform an ‘ostrich call’ whenever his students all got A’s on their exams; a sound that included an obnoxious screeching. Why a bird call? Why not just say “good job”? What’s the connection between stars and ostriches? To this day, his students can’t make sense of this weird habit.
