If your favorite musicians were teachers here’s what would happen
Imagine a school where every teacher rocks and no class is worth skipping. We took the liberty of matching some of your favorite musicians with what subject they would teach in school. Let’s take a look at your schedule for the semester.
First Period: Math with Mr. Whibley
With a band appropriately named Sum 41, we say lead vocalist Deryck Whibley, who has also had experience as a record producer and manager, is best suited to teach a class all about numbers. If he can bust out some hit albums, we figure he can bust out a few equations, too.
Second Period: French with Monsieur Bouvier
Most die-hard Simple Plan fans would know that the band hail from Montreal, the busiest city in the Canadian province of Quebec. Therefore, it should serve as no surprise that the entire band including frontman Pierre Bouvier are fluent in French. Très merveilleux!
Third Period: English with Mr. Wentz
Since the early 2000s, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz has been known in the scene as a master of lyricism. His literary contributions sure don’t stop there as he has also written two books—The Boy With A Thorn In His Side and Gray—and a five-issue comic book mini-series titled Fall Out Toy Works.
Fourth Period: Science with Ms. Williams
After delving into the synth-pop sounds of After Laughter, Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has transformed her image into a prismatic powerhouse. Her new eccentric look, paired with producing her own line of vivid hair dye, goodDYEyoung, can be directly translated to the world of science.
Fifth Period: U.S. History with Mr. Armstrong
We can’t even begin to fathom how intense a lesson in American history (mainly, politics) taught by the one and only Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day would be. We’re sure it’d be a truly memorable class loaded with a breadth of knowledge and plenty of heated debates.

Sixth Period: Business with Mr. Hoppus
Not only is Mark Hoppus of blink-182 a guru in online marketing (à la Twitter), but he has also had his fair share of business ventures. He once co-owned two companies, Atticus and Macbeth Footwear, and currently runs his own podcast called Hi My Name Is Mark.
Seventh Period: Art with Mr. Way
Gerard Way, formerly of My Chemical Romance, began writing and illustrating the first version of his original comic book series, The Umbrella Academy, in 2007. Nowadays, the comic is being turned into a series on Netflix, and we would love some of his illustrative tips.
Eighth Period: Home Ec with Mr. Knight
We think after his series of hilarious, yet informative Think TEI classes at this summer’s final Warped Tour, Waterparks’ Awsten Knight makes a natural home ec tutor. And if all goes wrong, at least he has BFF, new dad and teacher’s assistant Geoff to help him out.
Ninth Period: Drama with Mr. Urie
Was there really any question on who would be best fit to instruct a high school drama class? Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie has always had a knack for being theatrical, but that side of him climbed to the next level once he scored the lead role in Broadway’s Kinky Boots.
Tenth Period: Gym with Mr. Merrick
Normally, we would hate to end a long school day with a round of phys ed, but when your teacher is Zack Merrick of All Time Low, how can you not be excited to get in shape?
