I know everyone's busy prepping for the Fire Festival but I've had something on my mind the last few days and I thought it was worth talking to everyone about it.

I've noticed that the longer we stay here, the more people we've had turn up who are missing out on being in school or college because we're stuck here – I was supposed to be starting college myself when all this started and I'm honestly a little disappointed that I'm missing out on it.

I know it's probably not the same for everyone, but something I've been wondering about doing for the last few days is maybe starting some classes and study session for people who'd like to get back on the education wagon. I'm not exactly a teacher, but I've tutored people before and, well, my grades were good enough to get me into college.

It's important to have some structure in your day in a situation like this and I think classes would be a good idea. So if anybody's interested, I can see about setting up something.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea, if you ask me. I've gotten myself into a little routine, but I wouldn't object to having something more in there. It's hard to know what to do with so much free time...

There's a thought. We can't neglect mental training.

I suspect I will have much to catch up with regarding natural philosophies.

That's an excellent idea. What would you need in terms of supplies and space to set it up?

Is there anyone else willing to tutor? I can teach some practical mathematics and psychology.

I don't see why not. Even the adults can learn from each other.

I'm all for it. I've been doing some self-study as of late in order to avoid falling behind, but I haven't been making any headway. Having someone tutor me would be a big help.

Can I ask what you're teaching?

It'd definitely beat continuing to study on my own.

do we even have any qualified teachers tho like who here can teach basics on a college level tho

[serrata]

Exactly. Just trying to fill the time from one day to the next can really wear on you after a while. If you have something concrete to work on then it works wonders for keeping you engaged and motivated.

[serrata]

The only problem I'm starting to see is that we're all from such different places and we're all at different places in our education. It'd be one thing if we all had the same sort of curriculum but we're going to have to work out between ourselves what we want to prioritize and how it's going to work.

[serrata]

I'm not sure yet. Obviously, we'll need a space to sit and work where we won't be disturbing anyone and some stationary and writing supplies wouldn't do amiss. But it's hard to know exactly what we'll need until we have an idea of how many people we have and what we'll be doing.

I was already planning on helping tutor some of the people still in high school, though. I've done it before, though it was a Japanese curriculum I was teaching.

[serrata]

So long as we're willing to sit down and learn, yes. The only question is who's going to be teaching and what.

[serrata]

That's good to hear! This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to help people out with. Are you in high school still, or are you studying for college?

[serrata]

Of course! I haven't started nailing down a hard curriculum yet – I don't think there's much point in doing that before we know who's going to be taking part – but I was thinking we'd start with the basics like... well, obviously it wouldn't be Japanese for most of you, but some general literature studies. Some maths and sciences probably too and some more practical things like home ec.

[She has to think for a minute. She doesn't want to out herself too much, but...]

Would you mind if I sat in on it? I've been trying to help teach people how to control powers here, but I'm not sure if I'm any good at it, so... Sitting in to watch how other people teach might help.

[And she can herself benefit from the lessons somewhat.]

[serrata]

It's much harder keeping yourself motivated if you're doing it all by yourself. You'd be in your second year of high school now, right? Or the third?

[serrata]

I was hoping we'd cross that bridge when we came to it.

[ that means "no" ]

[serrata]

Of course not! I'd be more than happy to have you. I don't know when we're going to be starting or how big the groups will be but I can let you know once I've got the details all ironed out.

[nojohnyouare]

We have fight club already. It could work like that. Where everyone has something to offer.

[motherfucking_ghost]

isnt saying hey lets make intrdimensional school that bridge otoh the librarys kinda nice for smart books

[ax_iom]

Thank you. I'll be looking forward to it. I haven't been to school or anything in a long time...

ariadne

[daughterofthemark]

I will attend any classes you plan to teach!

[So, in other words, Arianna is here to tell Yuuri nothing she didn't already know.]

[serrata]

It could! The only thing I worry about is people burning out from teaching and learning at the same time. We'll have to make sure no one spreads themselves too thin.

[serrata]

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get back into the habit.

[ she doesn't say "me too" but the implication is there. ]

[ax_iom]

I hope you're right...
