The Elements of Friendship, Thursday, Period 3

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie waited for the students outside the Danger Shop, today, playing with Gummy, her toothless baby alligator, which seemed to pretty much just amount to letting Gummy attempt to eat her mane and tail. When it seemed all the students had gathered, she offered them all a huge grin.

"One of my very favorite types of friendships is the friendship between a pony and her pet! Gummy may only be one year old -- going on two -- but he's been such a very special friend that it's like I've known him forever! Isn't that right, Gummy?"

Gummy stared. That and trying to bite things were pretty much his only skills.

"Of course, the very best pony-pet relationships are built on careful criteria! Getting a pet is a huge decision in which you have to weigh all kinds of factors. How much space do you have? What kinds of activities do you enjoy? Do you have any allergies? How much will food for your pet cost? And of course, which pet wants to be your very best friend!" She threw open the door to the Danger Shop. "So today, you all are going to do just that! We have all kinds of nice pets in here for you to choose from! There's kitties and doggies and owls and squirrels and toucans and orangutans and alligators and snakes and wasps and grasshoppers and turtles and fishes and ferrets and hedgehogs and foxes and bears and a hippo and most anything else! They're all waiting to play with you and show them how they can be the best pet for you!"

The Danger Shop was as full of creatures as promised, set up in a quaint little garden by a tree house, with a track and an obstacle course near by, for those who wanted to put the potential pets through their paces.

"Now, I know that maybe some of you ponies already have bestest pet friends, so if you want to run back and get them so you can show them off, that's just Pinkie keen! I'd love to meet all your furry or scaly or slimy or feathery or other-y friends! And then we can have a . . ." wait for it "PET PARTY!"

She flung confetti in the air, then shooed away a curious kitten who tried to eat it.

"So let's get petting!"

Superheroing 101, Thursday, Period 4

[electrocynic]

Electroclash had listened to the radio this morning. Electroclash was also probably seeing what she could get away with under the guise of teaching SPA mandated classes.

The Danger Shop was someone's backyard today. With apple trees and lush green grass and the sun shining. There was also a slightly bored looking photographer – and about two dozen cats. Yes. Electroclash was totally stealing ideas from other teachers now.

With a purring ginger cat rubbing it's side against one of her go-go boots, Electroclash greeted her students once everyone who was going to show up had filed in. "Alright kids, today's an easy day because I feel like it." Of course, she always felt like it. "One of the big things about being a hero is publicity. And sometimes, if you're lucky, that'll involve something other than paparazzi pics of you falling face first into a ditch while drunk."

Not that anything of the sort had ever happened to her.

"So, today we're going to pretend you've successfully completed a heroic task – saving a cat from a tree because let's be realistic with your level here – and you're going to get to practice posing for a picture for some positive publicity. With a cat, yeah. You --" Random student. "-- get to go first. Oh, and anyone I hear making inappropriate jokes about any synonyms for the word 'cat' will owe me a pint at the bar in town."

Oh wait it was probably going to be her making the tasteless jokes. Oh well, she'd be buying herself pints anyway.

Life of the Sea, Thursday, Period 2

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

Today, the classroom was set up in a somewhat ordinary fashion. Summer had moved the desks in a semicircle formation and was sitting on top of one, waiting for her students to settle in.

"I thought we could use today's class as a discussion platform. I'd like to know what you want to learn about next, concerning the ocean and the life that calls it home," she added. "I thought it would be fun to plan a lesson around something you want to learn about, not just what's on the syllabus."

[OCD is up.]

Ethics [Thursday, March 22, 2012]

[sith_happened]

"Today," Anakin said, sweeping into the classroom with a stack of papers, "we're adding a little literature to our ethics discussion." He began passing out a short story

"I'll give you a few minutes to read it, but the short version of this story--called 'The Lady or the Tiger'-- is that there was a fictional king with his own sense of justice: instead of a court system, he had an arena with two doors. Behind one door was a beautiful woman, handpicked by the king. Behind the other was a tiger. If you chose the tiger, you were eaten and declared guilty. If you chose the lady, you were considered innocent and immediately married to the lady. The king didn't care about your previous marital status or sexual orientation, apparently."

He leaned back against his desk, though the posture of his back showed that he wasn't very comfortable with the idea of relaxing. "One day the king discovered that his daughter had been having an affair with someone far below her station, so the man was arrested and tossed into the arena. Now the princess knew which door had what behind it, and her lover looked up to her for advice. She had two choices: watch her love die, or watch him marry another woman. The story ends with the princess telling him which door to open, but leaves us hanging as to what waited behind it."

Anakin smiled. "Your task today is two-fold. First, pair up with a classmate and decide what the princess did. Then tell me what you would have done in the princess's place."
