This is the follow-up to Rule Two ( LJ), which won the poll from October's Giraffe Call to be continued. There was a dragon in the school parking lot, between two busses

Operation "rock the boat" commencing?

ETA: if very large and very small races have their own schools for logistical/architectural reasons, what about the mid-range ones? Why doesn't Junie go to the same school as the Elkin and harpy and centaur kids in her neighborhood?

[aldersprig]

*grin* indeed. In answer to your comment and Meeks' below, I'm still working on school logistics. I may have to ret-con something

Is the answer to that "we're not entirely human"?

I thought there were non-humans at Juniper's school. You mentioned 'Noni the pixie' as one of her school friends in "Princess and Dragon".

You know, that method of tea brewing reminds me of a thread years ago on the Terry Pratchett fan newsgroup. Brits more or less ranting and raving about how it's impossible to get drinkable tea in the US, because so many people don't know to use water that's BOILING, not merely hot.
So it's hard to tell if that's poor research, or weird tea. ;)

"it because much more evident" - should that be "it becomes"?
Also, she sounds either idiotic or oblivious. Why does she assume *her parents* don't see her every day?

I really hope this intervention will work. Teachers siding with bullies is awful.

[aldersprig]

Hrrm.

Well, there are arguments about using water just below boiling.

And also, it's not technically "tea."

She's being a rude twat who assumes parents don't pay attention

And she is based on some personal experience.

I've known some teachers who were that arrogant.

And to be fair, I've known some parents who were that clueless..

[aldersprig]

yeah, me too, on both.

This woman has never checked her student's address?

[aldersprig]

I'd been moved for 4 weeks before the teacher that year found out.

[rix_scaedu]

I thought in this case checking the address might have been useful in assessing the situation.
Also,the teacher might be suggesting that when someone with her training sees the child every day, as opposed to just seeing the child everyday.

Typo? " it because much more evident" - 'becomes' instead of 'because'?

[aldersprig]

Becomes, yes
