[Video] Educational Advocacy

Guys, we need a school.

And not JUST because I've been stuck in Turtle-opolis for almost six months and I'm seriously behind in my studies. [She cycles through six different half-grumpy, half teasing faces before she assumes a more serious face.] I know people have been offering to teach self defense and magic and stuff like that, but it's not -- look, it's what we need to be doing.

Educating ourselves is how we prepare for stuff like -- you know, the thing that we have to prepare for.

Obviously, I'd mostly just be a student. I think most of the people who can teach valuable skills already are, but they could afford to be more coordinated. That means we need a Headmaster. Any volunteers?

[She clears her throat and steps back from the camera, revealing half her apartment to be covered with notes about something -- presumably this project.] Oh, yeah, I have a preliminary curriculum, lemme know what you think.

Lessee, we got... Self Defense, English, Kedan Language and Culture, Computer Science, Magic, Physics and how not to introduce stupid invasive furballs into the ecosystem.

Ahem. I mean Newcomer Orientation. Obviously there's not enough of us to really do levels or whatever, but come on. Let's get on it!

All maths relates to physics, they go hand in hand. You can't really study science without knowing maths. And you can't exactly separate maths into what's useful and what isn't. Even the most basic formulas build up to the kind of equations needed for psychics and there's no way you can just jump to that high of a level without a -- well, cheat code.

You'd be shocked how many people fear maths. Either by lack of doing it or by knowing how powerful it truly can be. Not to say it's fun or anything, just always useful.

You never know what will turn out to be useful. Worst comes to worst and there's no time for most of that, try doing an abridged version of the 'un-needed' topics. Not overly hard, just summarise the gist of all the subjects and the main principles.

Meeting? When would that be? Not sure if I want to commit to the idea of teaching as well, seems a little boring.
