Time to get schooled.

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

So here's something none of you kids on the ship will thank me for.

Since there ARE kids on the ship, some of whom theoretically have school to go back to or finish, somebody ought to do something about this. Who wants to be a schoolteacher?

Not that we need to have a regular 8 hour schoolday, but even on a creepy meatship, young minds need a'moldin'.

ETA: much as it pains me deep in my soul not to force higher education on someone who's already, say, graduated high school, or otherwise gotten an adult-level education, I guess if you're not interested in taking your learning any further you're . . . okay. Uggggh. Brb, off to nurse my convictions.

Dude I graduated high school, YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!

If you've got your world's equivalent of an adult education, then as far as I'm concerned, you're fine.

What's school?

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

"School" is a general term for a place where one person goes to learn from another.

In my country, children go to school from the time they're 5 until they've reached legal adulthood, and a general American education consists of fundamentals in mathematics, literacy, and various sciences.

The Junkyard didn't have anything like that. I don't know what any of that means. The Dissemination Machine just told us what we needed to know.

Phew, dodged a bullet there.

Early graduation FTW.

[whyarewehere]

Haha, suckers.

Does anybody know what month it is? Never know, school could be out for summer.

[lilyofthedrills.livejournal.com]

Ah...what will this involve?

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

Already graduated?

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

Represent.

It was summer last time I checked on Earth. Could be everybody got snatched up at different times.

If it is summer, that's fine. Just leaves time for whoever decides to take this up to prepare their stuff.

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

Same thing as in any school - a little math, a little reading and writing, some science. Have you been to school before?

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

I guess technically learning from machine is still a kind of school.

The point is that we're all in for a pretty dangerous ride here, and the kids are going to need every kind of preparation they can get. That includes an education.

You're gonna have to tell me about yourself sometime. Your world sounds interesting.

'homework dodging' has been officially added to my to-do list.

[lilyofthedrills.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, when I arrived here I was just entering middle school.

I won't have to fight or capture anything, will I?

[halfgoddess.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, how many months can I go without getting expelled on this one?

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

I'm not really in charge of that, so nah. I'm only concerned with your mind. Somebody else can handle physical education.

I've already talked to Dani about teaching her some stuff until we get something permanent going. If you want, you could come by and hang out with us. Kind of like a really laid back summer school.

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

Whose history?

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

I don't know, how many ways can you think of to make me never want to see your face again?

Not to sound like a creepy old man, but you're very cute, so it's not going to be as easy as you think.

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

I know where you sleep.

[supertshirt.livejournal.com]

I'm graduated. Yep.

This is likely not the reaction you're probably expecting but:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I already missed a whole year of school due to superheroing before this, because I got pulled into the Crisis and had to help save the world like my first day of superheroing, and now there's no way to get back on track and graduate on time, and I missed my SAT date and I'm trying to get in for pre-med/dentistry.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SIGN ME UP PLEASE
