fandomhigh | Revolutions: Week 15, Period 5

The class met in a normal classroom today. Aly waited at the front of the classroom for everyone to come in.

"Afternoon, everyone. Welcome to last class of the semester. This is supposed to be a final exam, but without sending you overthrow the school administration - which I am not endorsing-" she added quickly, glancing at Jamie ~~if he was there~~. "There's really not much of a scope for a practical examination."

"So I hope that you've all learned things. And I hope that you don't hesitate to put what you learned to use in defense of your people, your country, or anyone who needs it. I have the notes here from our first class. What I'd like you to do is look over your answer to the question 'when are revolutions appropriate, and what would it take for you to rebel against the current power structure.' Take a look and then tell me if your opinion has changed. Why or why not?"

After the discussion was over, she nodded. "I've enjoyed having you all in class. If I can help any of you in the future, let me know. And given that our topic this semester has been war and revolution, I'm going to leave you with a quote I found from one of the founding statesmen of this country. It's something to think about: 'I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, [...] in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music...'"

[OOC: OCD's up. Quote is from John Adams and way shortened. I love you all like pie and give you pie. Or cake if that's your thing. And, umm, because I forgot in the OCD, let me know what grade you think you deserve when you sign in or in the OOC thread]

One last time all collapsey.

One last time, no throwing notes, ~~Parker~~.

Has your answer changed from the beginning of class? Why or what not? What caused the change?

She's around if you've need of her.

Seriously, you guys. You all have rocked so much this semester. Thank you for the immense amounts of awesomeness.

D'anna Biers

Bridge Carson

D wrote down the quote, but other than that, there weren't a lot of notes to be taken so she put her notebook away.

Sam Carter

Bridge thinks about the questions carefully, before deciding on his answer. "My answer to the first question hasn't changed," he says finally. "I still believe a revolution is appropriate when the government in power has failed its people. But... I think that *now*, if I were in such a situation, I might notice the signs of a corrupt and failing government quicker, and hopefully be able to take action sooner."

Seely Booth

Sam shook her head, "No, I don't believe my answer has changed. Revolutions are not to be undertaken lightly, but sometimes they're necessary."

D's answers had remained the same, but she had a new question.

She raised her hand, "what if one were to want to break a revolutionary force from the inside, Miss?"

After class, Bridge approaches Aly. "Hey, I just wanted to say, uh. Thanks for being such an awesome teacher." There were other things on his mind too, but he's still working up to that.

Aly chuckled. "Thank you, Bridge. I'll still be around though. You don't get rid of me that easily."

"Good," Bridge says. "I'll admit I was kinda worried that with Alanna graduating, you'd be gone too."

Marie D'Ancanto

"I don't think my ~~totally handwavy~~ answers have changed," Marie said. "I still think that sometimes people need to take matters into their own hands if it's going to benefit the majority in the long run."

"I considered it," Aly said with a smile.

"I'm glad you decided to stick around," Bridge says. He looks at her carefully before adding "You and Bron talked a lot last week."

Steerpike

Belthazor

Steerpike paused before leaving the class to give Aly a deep bow. "It has been an honor and a privelege to be in this class," he told her. And heck, he was even being honest, for once. "You've taught me a great deal. Thank you."

"I'm not exactly the same person I was at the beginning of the class," Bel said. "So I guess my answers have changed."

Bel looked cranky. This may or may have not been news to anyone.
