Finals

[fightingofthespirit]

Final exams?   Now?  

It's not even May!  What sort of terrible curriculum is this?  Summer vacation for a whole three months -- Preposterous!  How am I supposed to make anything without any students?!  In my day, we got a single day off to celebrate the creation of the world.  Maybe a holiday on the side for the founding of your city if you were lucky.  Heck, this hardly even counts as summer; the temperature barely goes above 75 every now and then.  Real summer comes around when it gets so hot that a minute out in the sun will knock you out and send you straight to the healers.  Then maybe we move classes under the shade of a tree.

What?  Stop complaining?  Why should I?  Do I still get paid over the summer? . . . . . . . . . . . ...........

Ehh.  Students, though you may have learned almost as much as this class as you did in gym, your final exam will not be waived.  In the spirit of home economics, it will be a hands-on project.  As for the specifics . . . Surprise me.  Bake me cookies.  Paint my room a different color.  Make me a uniform made of blue and red. 

You have two weeks.

Bonus points if you somehow manage to include some of our discussion upon magic theory into the project.

I've never seen you in my class.

((I thought as much. XD))

. . .

Back when I was going to school, young whippersnapper.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. So you remembered being in school, then?

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Yes. No.

Don't question your elders, sonny boy.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Riiiiight.

You know I'm a teacher too, don't you?

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

You're barely older than some of the students. How did they even let you teach?

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

I do a damn good job.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

They couldn't have known that before they hired you.

Unless you made them do a hundred sit-ups or something.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Obviously my enthusiasm and winning personality was all the proof they needed.

Jeez, what kinds of standards do you set for your class?

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

. . . Probably lower than yours.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

What was that?!

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Only the highest standards of teaching for the little tykes. They deserve the best.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

You are so full of it.

Hey. I admitted from the start -- I'm not the most qualified person in the world for this class. I won't deny it. I'm still not convinced that some of this material is even worth teaching at all. But heck, I try pretty damn hard for their sakes. I'm not joking. These kids deserve the best. And if I can't give it, I'm just going to have to learn along with them until I can.

Heh. I see.

Guess I misjudged you. You're a pretty good guy after all.
