With schools closed, Texas’ Wylie High School is making house calls to students, particularly the troublemakers who need some “drive-by discipline.”
In April, the school district asked parents to report their children in “drive-by referrals.” Teachers and other school staff would then visit nominees at home and jokingly call them out for their behavior in quarantine. While Maggie Smith hasn’t been causing trouble, her nonstop singing of show tunes has been giving her family headaches. That’s why her parents nominated her.
“I have promised her a visit from Lin Manuel Miranda himself, if she will give it a rest for at least an hour,” her mom, Michelle, wrote in her daughter’s submission. “Please WHS AP’s we beg you to come and save us from the freshman Phantom of the Rona!!!”
So, Maggie’s assistant principal and theater teacher stopped by, megaphones in hand. But the teen realized this wasn’t a punishment at all when a special guest stepped out, wearing a familiar mask. Maggie couldn’t believe her eyes. Standing before her was David Gaschen, who played the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway.
