Problem Solving and You!, Thursday, Period 3

[wrongkindofsith]

Class was in the Danger Shop, because where else would it be.

"Technology professionals worldwide logo the informations," Cara said looking visibly annoyed, apparently the Danger Shop (or the island) was a bit glitchy today. "Punching bag of the day before the end of the mutiny."

"Sorry, things are a little... wonky?" Magnus said, looking deeply concerned. "For some reason we're 😕😡."

Okay, so now he was talking in emoji. That was cool.

Totally cool, you could tell by the way Cara's expression resembled the second emoji. "Picture information the face punching machine. Machine wash the car is still available for remote punch list items."

You got that she wanted you to punch things, right?

"🤳💔🗣," Magnus added. Because reasons beyond his understanding. Pretty sure it was a curse. He sighed and hit a button to release the glitchy robots for that class to punch.

Couldn't even muster up the enthusiasm for robotic arm ripping.

Ballet for Beginners; First Period [03/29].

And then she was back to it, another week of teaching ballet, but at least the end was in sight...until the next semester when she discovered what other new fresh hell the moose in the office cooked up for her. "Sorry about last week," Rosa, come on, don't lie to the kids, "but you know how it goes. Hopefully, you all got the choreography I sent out for you to look over and try to learn. If not, well, I guess we're testing your improvesational skills today. No clip while we warm up today; I'd rather have you just focus on the steps. Once we're done with warm-ups, I'll have each of you try it, figure out what you've got wrong, and then try it all together. And if everyone does a good job, maybe we can get out of here early."

Yeah. Someone wss so not in teacher-mode right now.

Someone was...rarely in teacher mode, in all honesty, but some days she at least tried to not make it obvious.

Practical Diplomacy, March 29, 2019

[sith_happened]

Today, the diplomacy students would find themselves in the Danger Shop programmed to look like northern California a heavily forested moon.

Doesn't everyone love when Anakin gives you semi-practical experience?

"Today you will make contact and form an alliance with a species that doesn't not speak your language," Anakin began. "You are basically stranded on this world and need this species' help in order to defeat your mutual enemies--also on this moon--and be able to escape back to your people. Your people can't help you themselves because of the aforementioned enemy presence. You aren't even supposed to be here, technically, but one of the fun parts of diplomacy is being places you aren't technically supposed to be."

The sad part was that he really believed that, kids!

He waved his hand at the simulation controls and out popped a dozen Ewoks, holding spears and glaring at you.

And about three feet tall, but that wasn't entirely the point.

"Go," Anakin said. "Negotiate. Don't get speared, kidnapped and eaten."

Though that would've gotten ridden of his son-in-law. Hmm...

Life Skills Through Screen Time, Friday Second Period

[stickitupmyjinx]

"So, last week we talked about how Aunt Becky was a white collar criminal. Today, we're gonna watch the descent from working class progressive to full on paranoid conspiracy theorist," Wade said. "Which means we're, of course, talkin' about Roseanne."

"Ah, yes, Roseanne," Vanessa said fondly. "The only show on broadcast television to regularly talk about loose meat. And then it all went so wrong. So, so wrong. You see, Roseanne had been cancelled for many years when someone got the bright idea to do a reunion. Unfortunately, Roseanne Barr had...changed. Now watching the original show is like watching the first act of a horror movie."

"And then they killed her off in the new show!" Wade added brightly. "I've heard it's better now. More poignant."

Wow, your teachers really had some opinions on this.

"They had to kill her off," Vanessa explained. "Because she believes Hillary Clinton runs a sex trafficking ring out of a pizza place. Just keep that in mind as you watch this show about a blue collar family in the heartland, struggling with real issues."

"They should have just recast her like they did the daughter," Wade replied, popping that VHS in
