It sounds like a prank you’d see in a feel-good teen movie where a high school teacher really tries to reach out to the kids in ways traditional academia would never allow. But as far as we know, Myron E. Buchholz – a Memorial High School history teacher and Railroad Club advisor – has never had students stand atop their desks to recite O Captain! My Captain! or whatever the history class equivalent would be (hanging from the ceiling whilst shouting the Magna Carta?). But that didn’t stop some ambitious students from constructing a mini Trojan Horse and leaving it in his driveway late Friday night. Buchholz saw a car leaving his house and called the cops, which is totally NOT would Robin Williams would have done in Dead Poets Society, but hey, what’s a guy supposed to do with a huge homemade horse in his driveway? Dude’s gotta park there, you know? The cops tracked down a 16-year-old student of Buchholz’s who admitted it was just a joke and said he’d take the horse away.

We have no idea if Buchholz was amused or not. We’ll just assume that once the little Trojan horse was taken back to the student’s house that dozens of cramped classmates popped out yelling YOU’RE THE BEST TEACHER EVER, MR. BUCHHOLZ! only to be bitterly disappointed.
