And more school trouble.

[Zancrow turns on his camera and looks into it, frowning. Hard]

How the fuck this school thing work?

I did the summer homework, [Sorta] And all that crap.

I haven't done this shit since I was, like, eleven. What kind of classes are there? Are they useful? Let's be real, how useful is literature going to be in the field?

Believe it or not, teaching you field skills isn't our only priority, though you'll find plenty to learn there, too.

Standard curriculum includes field skills in addition to everything you'd find in a normal school. Science, social studies, math, the arts, and so on. Different emphases and available options depending on grade level and how hard you're willing to work.

[kinofwrath]

Why? It's not like the baselines are going to let us take up jobs with them. So why need the same shit they learn?

[koukai_kirai]

First, that's statistically untrue. Plenty of mutants have normal, civilian jobs. Second, even if non-mutants won't hire us, mutants still need people trained to get all sorts of jobs done. Third, you're not doing yourself any services by staying ignorant. It'll only make the world harder on you.

[kinofwrath]

You're right. I almost forgot my parents did menial jobs.

Until they were outed as mutants and got fired.

[koukai_kirai]

An unfortunately common problem, if not as common as your own experience might suggest in isolation.

And one to be addressed in a number of ways, but not with short-sighted bullshit excuses to skip out on informing yourself.

[kinofwrath]

Met more kids that dealt with it or similar than not.

Yeah, whatever.

[He's not going to do your homework out of principal now if he's in your class.]

What the hell do you teach anyways?

[koukai_kirai]

Again, your own experience biases you in that regard. I'd show you statistics, but if you haven't been in school since you were eleven, I'm not sure it'd do any good. At any rate, accepting what you think of as the current status quo as immutable so easily is just lazy.

[Hijikata has less than no patience for laziness, academic or otherwise.]

And I teach world history.

[kinofwrath]

[Well, fuck, he's signed up for that course. That's fine it was going to be a boring class anyways]

Well, fuck you too.

[koukai_kirai]

I assure you, that's something you don't need to concern yourself about.

[kinofwrath]

Good to know.

[koukai_kirai]

More on topic, though: willful ignorance is as good as giving the world permission to use you.

[kinofwrath]

Fuck that. I'll burn down the world first.

[koukai_kirai]

You'll have an interesting time doing that without a working knowledge of history, too.
