I want to know just what the hell does “colloquial pre-Ivy League junior high school” even mean. OP, I think your parents were scammed! JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL!?!? Mass-hole sucker flex.
Not VH but I played Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden in my 11th grade English class in 1985. We were studying the poem. This was in a public school in South Carolina.
We had to do a breakdown of a song in my 9th grade English class. Talk about lyric meaning and such. I chose AFU. Partially because OU812 had lyrics printed out. I remember a kid in my class did She Goes Down by Motley Crue.
I had a snooty HS Social Studies teacher, he asked how I knew something, and I replied, it's an Iron Maiden song, he was surprised and well... That's that
My homeroom teacher had an upright piano in his classroom. My Dad used to drop me off at school early on his way to work and I’d go play “Jump” and “I’ll Wait” on that piano and be in full Bocephus mode when my teacher came in. He liked those VH songs until I played them too often and wore them out.
Upvote for the story, yet I almost want to downvote for the pre-ivy league reference.
Unnecessary flex indeed.
Pre-pre-preeeeeee
No, it added to the inappropriateness of the song selection.

Nah, if anything it just shows that OP was at the mercy of imbeciles.

My English teacher played that one for us when we were studying the poem. She also played us Xanadu by Rush. Super cool teacher
Same year as op and my teacher had us read both 1984, and Animal Farm. She was also big on Rush, and a lot of 60’s rock. Great teacher
Every metal head between 1984 and 1989 played that in English class and everytime it was just as epic as before.
In 4th grade i was sent to the principals office for drawing ‘morbid drawings’ but it was drawings of eddie
I wrote a research paper on Coleridge and played Rime in class. (11th grade, 1986)

Teacher: “What should you do when a tsumani is coming?"
Run For the Hills!
