Math; Wednesday, First Period [10/20].
Surely, part of the fun of this class by now was just going into it to see who might actually be teaching it, since that was an element that hadn't been consistent for a few weeks now. And this week was no different, as the class would find yet another teacher waiting for them in the classroom that week, one that looked completely too amused by this whole fact as he leaned against the desk at the front of the room while everyone came in and got settled.
"So," he started. "It looks like I'm your teacher for this class this week. In case you don't know, my names Gladio Amicitia, I teach the bird class on Fridays."
Look, Gladio was not unaware of what that class had become in the eyes of literally everyone around it, and he was clearly deciding to just embrace it for what it was.
"But today," he continued, "I'm apparently teaching the math class, and we're going to be talking about measurements."
Because what better choice to talk about units than an absolute unit himself?
"Bear with me," he said, lifting up a hand as if to placate the tide of boredom he figured was about ready to wash over them all, "this first part is going to be a little tedius, but we've got to get through the technical stuff before we can do something a little more interesting. But, basically, units of measurement are ways in which we can determine the size, volume, length, weight, so on and so forth, of something, and there might be different ways of measuring things where you're from, but here, there's basically two different systems. You got the metric, and you've got the imperial, and we're going to go over the basic units of each one real quick on the board here, so bear with me..."
With that, he took to the board so that he would at least jot down all the different units of measurements, how they stacked up against each other, all those fun details on the board, frequently consulting his notes because it wasn't like he was going to memorize this stuff for a class he was probably going to be teaching once.
"A lot of these," he allowed, once he was finished, set down the chalk, wiped the dust from his hands and put them on his hips when he turned back to the class, "seem kind of arbirary, right? Especially if you're from somewhere that uses different measurements, but, basically, the people in charge decide what to use, it sticks, so everyone else follows suit, and then you get things like rulers and stuff so that everyone can follow the same standard, it sort of makes everything easier in the long run. I know you guys got textbooks from your teacher the week before the break, there should be a chapter on all this stuff and with all the different units in it that you can use for a refrence, but that's not really my style. I'm more of a hands-on type of guy, so we're going to get out of this classroom, enjoy the nice day we've got ahead of us, and see what we can do to put some of this measurement stuff into practice."
He hitched a thumb toward the door, and then started for it.
"Pack it up, kids, and let's go!"
