Something was wrong with this picture but if she were dreaming, please no one spoil the fun just yet.
"Well, she was more than just a mentor," Lyra pretended to blush when really she was soaking in the very feeling of being smart for once in her life. "There are only certain things you can do with plants, really," one could not wear them and come up with new fashion ideas of course. "It was good to dwell on other things for a change." She sounded smart. Was this her moment to speak a lot of nothing and pretend to be smart? Why yes it was.
Aw, that was sweet - a great teacher being more than a mentor. A friend, perhaps? Leo listened to the woman as she recounted her tale. "That is lovely. And, do you feel it has added to your wonderful learning experience in the school?" That is, had her years as a student been enchanced by her mentor? "See, we could ALL use a couple of more dedicated Professors, to take time with the youth." It was IMPORTANTE!

The real question there was, what could that possibly be? The young man sighed and began to drum his fingernails on the table before him in concentration.
"Ah, an activity." He nodded, crossing one arm over his chest, while the other's elbow rested ontop of it, his hand scratching his stubbled chin. "I supposed we DO find an activity..." Hehe. He looked around the room with a slight shifty look. "So...any ideas?"
SPOILER!!: Oliver! Quote:

"Ofcourse! Everything is possible!" Leo exclaimed, but seeing the puzzled and inquisitive look on the young man's face, he cut the 'sillyness', hehe. "Ofcourse, I understand what you mean. This might make it difficult, but that is why we need to work extra hard to figure something out. Make the Professors take time and figure things out with us. But it will work, you'll see."
SPOILER!!: Ryan! Quote:

He carefully listened to both Mr Cavanaugh and Mr Granger who had good stataments to point out. Then he turned to Mr Granger to answer his question ''I think, yes, what Mr Cavanaugh has suggested is a hard goal to accomplish yet i am fairly certain that it is possible''
Being quite much of a talkative person Ryan, of course could not remain silent when others spoke so he stood up to adress everyone, again. ''You know, every individual enjoy expressing his or herself in a way. It is about the ego and it is present in everyone. Hence why simple personality tests have a high rating among especially young people. So, if we let them express themselves by...maybe a class game, which youngster dislikes playing a new game? And we can adapt the class subject to that game. They will be both learning and having fun''
See? Even Ryan think so. Snort.
Leo nodded, hoping they would start a discussion amongst themselves. Oh, there he goes... Raising his eyebrows in curiosity, Leo remained where he was to listen. Ah! Exellent! "That is one way to do it, Mr Chambers. Good idea there." But one thing... "You mentioned tests, do you mean there could be a sort of test, implemented in the actual game?" Because that could work. "One thing we don't want, is for the students to feel subjected to a test. Sure, we are here to try out new things to help us improve their education, but they should never feel like we are scrutinizing their every move or testing their IQ. Right?" Did that make sense?
SPOILER!!: Luna! Quote:

So that's why I joined this Department." she said and took another bit of her cookie and asked "So it would be great to know something about you too, would you like to share something" she said smilingly to him.
Very nice, she was going to share! Giving the woman an encouraging nod, Leo scratched his chin again as he listened. Aw, another person who CARED for the young ones. Bless.
Oh.
Hearing her question, Leo blinked for a short moment, feeling a little surprised at her query. "Oh, about myself?" He looked around the room. Well, it was only fair, ofcourse. "Well... I studied art in Mexico, and experienced how some professors slacked in their duties. So...after arriving in this beautiful country and heard about this job, I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to share my experience and hopefully make the education of the youth a better one." Yes?
"Please, if there's anything you wonder, do not hesitate to ask." Because he was their Head...and he thought they had a right to know...certain things anyway.

Although most students like the idea of fun in a classroom, I feel there will be a few that would rather be learning about the subject of the class. So if games become part of a classroom I think there should be certain regulations to how they work, and should have guidelines to teach the students the subject at hand. as well as having fun" said Oliver.
Gosh his team was so smart! Lovely!
"That is a VERY good point, Mr Granger. There should be structures for the students...because that might be what they crave - like a sort of routine, you know? They are used to having guidelines and such, taking that away might be...how you say, confusing. For a lack of better word. And that would certainly help their education, getting some more fun into it all. Because we all know how horrible boring it could get with learning things, eh?" He smirked, clearly joking. Or not. Hehe.

"It would be great to start such a thing, the students are going to enjoy it i feel and would definitely have a good time learning as well as having fun with their friends. I surely would love to be a part of this event." she said and took another bite of her cookie in her hand.
Well, everyone seemed to have taken the idea to heart. The only thing now was to see how they could impliment it to the current curriculum.
