10th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Action/Voice

May 15, 2011 21:23

[Filtered from Selphie | You can probably hack this by just sneezing]How many of you have gone to school? I don't mean studying about something specific like magic to be a sorcerer or however that's done. I mean a general school, with several classes and a lot of hours sitting on a desk doing nothing but listening to the teacher. Do that type of ( Read more... )

Schools like that certainly exist in my world, but I never went to one.

flamesofanger May 15 2011, 20:14:04 UTC

[That makes two, him and this girl.]

Have you ever thought of not going to them as a bad thing?

intangible_girl May 15 2011, 20:25:20 UTC

Well, I always wished I could go. But I... couldn't. So my father taught me at home, and I studied a lot on my own.

I did go to a year of college, before I came here, but that was graduate work, so it was mostly doing research instead of listening to a teacher all day.

So to answer your question... sort of?

flamesofanger May 15 2011, 20:43:46 UTC

Hn, I see. That's not exactly what I meant, you weren't able to go to the school physically but you still studied those things with your father and on your own. I meant to ask more in a manner of never going to a school or attending that kind of studies.

[So the count drops back to one.]

No, it isn't quite like that...or even here. Children learn a trade early, where I'm from, so their training is pretty focused. The rest is taught at home.

[Voice] flamesofanger May 15 2011, 21:30:49 UTC

Hn, that sounds similar to what I had. We were trained specifically for a job, so we didn't need anything else. We did study the alphabet and numbers for the basics but nothing beyond that.

[Voice] eidolon_soul May 15 2011, 21:36:02 UTC

Exactly. Summoners have to hone their talents early, so there isn't that much room for anything else.

[Voice] flamesofanger May 15 2011, 21:41:28 UTC

Ever thought that it was something bad? Or, that it wouldn't hurt to learn more beyond that?

I went to school in my world. I enjoyed it.

[Voice] flamesofanger May 16 2011, 12:56:08 UTC

For how long did you go?

[Voice] no_use_running May 16 2011, 21:36:37 UTC

Ever since kindergarten. Thirteen years.

[Voice] flamesofanger May 17 2011, 05:54:30 UTC

[Thirteen...]

Why so long?

How old were you when you started school, Lucy?

flamesofanger May 22 2011, 12:42:45 UTC

Nine... That sounds almost as late. Did you like it there?

I went to that kind of school, but it's been a while...

[voice] flamesofanger May 16 2011, 12:58:58 UTC

A while? How long?

[You don't sound extremely old...]

[voice] magicwarding May 16 2011, 19:39:24 UTC

A couple years, I guess. I sometimes go back for work though.

[voice] flamesofanger May 17 2011, 05:53:40 UTC

What work can you do in a school? Other than being a teacher, that is.
