While he wasn't exactly resembling members of the living dead anymore, Cal was still not in the best of health. He was sniffling, coughing, carrying a box of Kleenex under one arm and wielding one of those little bottles of antibacterial stuff in his other hand. He was pretty sure he wasn't contagious, but the antibacterial stuff just seemed like a necessary politeness.

He flopped into the chair behind the desk, tilted his head back, and groaned.

He was probably going to be like this all day.

Sex Ed, Monday [2-2] Third Period

[screwyoumarvel]

"Let's talk about pregnancy," Steve said, beaming at his class. "Pregnancy is how--barring crazy witches or mad scientists--new life is created. Now, half of you--again, barring crazy witches or mad scientists--will never be pregnant. For that, you should thank your God. Yes, it is a miraculous process, but it is not a fun process, and definitely not one that should be undertaken by teenagers. Ahem."

Business 101, Monday [2-2] First Period

[notanactualfairy]

"It is tax season, so let us talk about taxes," Jean-Paul said, sitting on his desk and leaning forward to address the students. "To be more specific: do them. Do them, and do not lie, or the IRS or tax authority wherever you happen to be will f--excuse me. They will get you. They will hunt you down and take everything you own, and then your shareholders will kill you. So: do your taxes, and do them honestly. I have provided for you the information the Internal Revenue Service of the United States provides for businesses; I invite you to spend the rest of the period familiarizing yourself with it."

Mad Kings & Queens, Week V [Monday, Period 4]

[atreideslioness]

"Today might seem familiar to some of my previous students, and for that I apologize. I had to re-arrange our syllabus slightly."

"Over the last few weeks, I have given you some examples of rulers gone mad," Ghanima stated. "To be honest, the best way to survive such a monarch is to quite simply keep your head down. If you don't make waves, you'll probably survive the experience. Some may call this cowardly, but it is common sense. Unless you have some way to change the status quo, your best option is to try and wait it out."

( If history teaches us anything, it is simply this: every revolution carries within it the seeds of its own destruction. And empires that rise, will one day fall. )

"Remember – sometimes a failed revolution can do just as much good as a successful one, if you play your cards right. However, is a dead revolutionary really a successful one, even if his or her cause succeeds?" Ghanima leaned back against her desk, neon eyes swirling. "I will leave that up for you to decide."

Blank Page Art Club, Art Classroom, Monday, 2/2

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

As promised, Savannah headed over to the art classroom after her class was over in order to set things up for the art club meeting.

She had pulled out different types of moddable media for creating and figured that the other members had their own ideas on what they wanted to sketch or paint.

She was very cheerful. Yay art stuff!

Young Entrepreneurs; Monday, Period 6 [ 02/02 ].

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

After pushing the desks of the classroom together and putting out the coffee and donuts as usual, Turtle went to the blackboard and wrote on it three quotes:

“Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.” --Confucius

“Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners.” --James Stewart

“The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.” --Milton Friedman

Once everyone had come into the room, she called the meeting to order with a little bang of a gavel.

She couldn't believe she hadn't thought about a gavel until now.

"Take a second," she began, "to look over these quotes. What do they all have in common? They are all about dealing with other people. As Young Entrepreneurs, dealing with people is something that you'll do an awful lot. There are lots of ways to do this, but almost every successful model of business suggests what these quotes are suggesting: you business partners are just that: your partners. Respect, virtue, and the desire for both parties to benefit is essential in a successful venture."

"...right?"

"I don't know," Turtle grinned a little, reaching for a donut, "you tell me. We've got some very different minds in this group. Do you think the egalitarian type of approach is more successful? Or is it all just optimistic hogwash, and to be successful is to be cutthroat? Let's just have have a good roundtable, yeah?"

Child Development- 1st Period- Class #5

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

The class was in the Danger Shop again, though the cribs were gone. Today the room looked very much like an indoor play area full of toys and games.

For a long moment after the bell rang, Lily just stared at the class.

Then she let out a heavy sigh and said, "I had to have a class where I have to talk today, didn't I? Okay, look, if you're in the same boat I am, you just want to do what you need to do and get out before telling the cute guy you've been staring at you like him or something, or whatever kids do these days when they're supposed to be listening to the lectures. So. We are covering ages two and three today. You know this as the terrible twos. Kids are running, jumping, climbing trees, and yelling 'no' at you a lot. They're a lot like teenagers that way.

"You have handouts, look at them instead of listening," she said, passing them out. She was also talking really quickly, like it was the speed of her speech and not so much what she said that might stop her from yelling something like "SOCK" out in the middle of class. "You're going to have fake toddlers in class today. You each get one, and you get to take care of him or her for the class period. Good luck with that, I made them especially annoying."

She covered her mouth with her hand and said, "And don't forget to clean up after them before you go."

Management Theory [Tuesday, February 3, 4th period]

[saveonpostage.livejournal.com]

Yzma, as always, was ready to pace before the class as soon as they all arrived properly attired.

"One of the most important ways to prove your management potential," she overenunciated, "is by planning and correctly pulling off a party!"

She threw her hands into the air. On cue, confetti fell from the sky. She nodded her head. "Today, you will pair up and plan proper party!" She held out a hand. A party hat materialized out of nowhere. "In this hat, there are many suitable party themes. You must come up with the food you will serve, the attire your guests must wear, and most importantly, how to stop losers from attending!" She gazed around at the students. "You have fifteen minutes!"

Nice and reasonable of her.

"The rest of the time you will be working the rope line," which magically appeared in the corner when she pointed to it, full of people who all looked suspiciously like an emperor she used to work for, "explaining to the losers why they aren't on the list."

During a day when many students were compelled to tell the truth. This should be good.

Food Appreciation [Class Four, Period #3]

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Marshall was just kind of staring at everybody when class started. He didn't look angry or anything. He was just staring, maybe looking a bit worried.

A little more staring.

A little more...

"I'M AFRAID TO TALK TO EVERYBODY TODAY," he said suddenly. "So far today I told a radio squirrel that if I were another squirrel I'd totally tap that and I told Ted that I didn't really mind his red cowboy boots!"

Ignore the fact that nobody here knew who Ted was.

"What if I start doing lecture and I suddenly start talking about how I think Kaylee's little accent is about the cutest thing I've ever heard and how that sometimes I want to ruffle Sam's hair because it looks fun?" Marshall's eyes widened. "Oh god, I'm doing it already!"

He pointed at the buffet table which had all sorts of moddable sandwiches and subs on them.

"Sandwiches! They're delicious and easy to make! Eat them!" Marshall said. "And for the love of god, someone save me from myself!"
