American History, Period 2, 01/08

Jan 07, 2009 21:29

When students entered the classroom today, they would find not one, but two men standing at the front. One of them was probably familiar to some of them, the other one was a new face... Although his wardrobe probably needed a little updating.

Lecture shiroi_tiger January 8 2009, 04:36:45 UTC

Listen, take notes, wonder what in the world is wrong with your teachers, that sort of thing.

Re: Lecture flowering_mind January 8 2009, 04:52:35 UTC

"Yamanaka," she muttered very, very quietly.

Besides, she was more amused that Tyler-sensei had primarily managed to stick to his form for introductions even when another teacher was there too.

Gavin hadn't really seen someone who looked like he was from so far in the past but really everyone was from the past to him. Still, at least he knew what he was talking about.

And his coat was really cool.

Cal slumped with his chin in one hand as he listened, thinking it was a little pointless telling him to think about history as a living thing, all things considered. Should be interesting, though; he hoped he could come up with something that wasn't lame for the question.

Introductions! shiroi_tiger January 8 2009, 04:37:19 UTC

You! Name, class, which historical figure you would challenge, and why!

Re: Introductions! flowering_mind January 8 2009, 04:59:39 UTC

"I'm Ino Yamanaka, a sophomore, and I... guess I can't get away with either of my usual answers for this one, so um..."

A long, long pause.

"You know," she said slowly, "I honestly don't know. I mean, I don't like some decisions of some people, but when my village has done the same or worse as any other village it's hard to pick one person to lecture. Especially when I don't know all their circumstances 'round why they did what they did."

Re: Introductions! shiroi_tiger January 8 2009, 05:17:36 UTC

"That's an interesting answer, Miss Yamanaka," Algren noted, raising an eyebrow. "Are you simply accepting the way things are, then, without wondering what might have put your villages into situations which cause them to take the actions that they have? You said that yours has done the same or worse as any other, is that because you find yourself in a situation that might be different, were actions made differently in the past?"

Re: Introductions! flowering_mind January 8 2009, 05:28:34 UTC

"Well," she said, tugging at a bit of her hair, "I mean, there's not much I can do but accept the way things are now, right? I mean, I can change the present and work on changing the future, but the past isn't something I can alter. So it... almost seems silly to say 'if this and this were done differently then we wouldn't be like this' because we are like that. You can learn from the past, sure, but you've also got to, you know, accept it and make your changes for the future. Dwelling on something like 'if I could've changed that there' just leads to a lot of headaches 'cause you can't change it."

Once she knows she is one, of course!

Re: Talk To The TA flowering_mind January 8 2009, 14:57:11 UTC

She was the least knowledgeable TA of American History ever, but she was there after talking to Tyler-sensei and flipping through the book he'd given her as a primer.

Man, she had a lot of reading to do.

Re: Talk To The TA not_a_mused January 8 2009, 15:31:53 UTC

"Don't think," Cal couldn't help commenting after class, "that just because you're TA, that I'm going to listen to you any more than usual."

Re: Talk To The TA flowering_mind January 8 2009, 15:40:09 UTC

"I'll shove you in detention," she threatened.

...could she shove people into detention?

"And, well, whatever. I think you'll kinda have to if you come to class and the teachers are gone. 'Cause I'll be the one in charge then." Which was a weird thing to contemplate. American. History. With Ino in charge.

They don't bite. Really.

There are better ways to make students suffer, after all. ♥

Re: Talk To The Teachers flowering_mind January 8 2009, 05:00:25 UTC

"I didn't do anything," Ino announced, wandering over to Tyler-sensei. As ordered.

Re: Talk To The Teachers tyler_back January 8 2009, 13:14:10 UTC

"Did someone say you did?" Tyler said, exaggerating his confusion.

Re: Talk To The Teachers flowering_mind January 8 2009, 14:09:40 UTC

"I'm just getting that out there," she informed him. "In case you thought you had something you could pin on me, Tyler-sensei."
