Hi-Story, Tuesday, 3rd Period

[jedigrammarians]

Aphra was scowling at her datapad when the class came in, and waved her hand at the projector screen without looking up.

"Apart from history, the other place holomakers get things really wrong is tech," she said. "They treat it like it's magic, when often it's a chore to even get your dumb kid's entertainment, let alone anything else."

So You Want to Be a Pirate!, Wednesday, period two

[betterthanaplan]

The Danger Shop for today's class was set up a bit differently than it had been before. Instead of the deck of one big ship, the students would find themselves on a replica of Fandom's docks facing seven small sailboats.

"Ahoy, mateys," Duke greeted. "I thought today would be a good day to give you all a taste of some actual sailing. Pick yourself a boat, give her a good name, and lets get started with some sailing basics!"

Duke kept the whole "intro to sailing" lecture as short as possible (which wasn't very), glad to have a classroom available where he could control things like wind power and direction, and be reasonably assured that no one was going to get concussed or crushed by a swinging boom. There was a lot of terminology to cover, and loads of guidelines, and he was pretty sure at least half the students would end up capsizing or falling into the drink today. But hey, that was half the fun of learning to sail, right?

"Alright! Now that you've got at least a bit of an idea of what to do, let's have ourselves a race! First one to make it all the way around the island and back here wins! Seeing as we're pirates —" and in a very safe environment full of safety protocols "— sabotage and cheating are not just allowed, but encouraged. Show me what you've got, ye scurvy bunch of sea dogs! Arrr!"

Ethics, November 6, 2019

[sith_happened]

Today's ethics class was held in the Danger Shop today, with Anakin looking a bit smug.

Always a bad sign.

"We've talked about big ethical issues," Anakin said, "but the general standard of 'being a good person/sentient being' is different in different places, but 'that person/sentient being is behaving like a jerk' is an ethical judgment we all make at least five times a day. More if someone is holding up the line at the coffee shop. Today you'll have three scenarios to navigate. Your goal is to avoid a violent confrontation while still stopping unacceptable--if you find it unacceptable--behavior."

He smiled. "This will be fun."

Probably not for the students, but details.
