He doesn't want the stress of the constant attention MLP brought him. He would rather compose background music for games uncredited.

The 'right' lesson cannot engage these kids. I can't really explain but I've observed for three weeks in a very bad school and it's more fundamental than that. But yeah my plan is to be completely detached and not care about it. Too many teachers I've seen get upset and try and reason with the class, or shout at them.

Stand and Deliver, Soleron.

Stand and Deliver

lmao that was the best joke I've heard in a long time! Good one, sir.

Not to be frank, but if that's your mentality, you have a long way to go in education. There's always a way to reach students. Am I gonna be naive enough to deny the occasional lost cause student? No, but I'm not gonna generalize all as hopeless students either.

Here's how it works, you get thrown in the 'worst' schools during the teaching program. If you can last, you are teacher material.

These kids are gonna be the bane of your existence. And these fundamentals you speak of, you're gonna have to deal with it. Nothing is without their flaws. Make your own set of classroom rules and manage it consistently based on what works for you and the class. In the end, you're gonna have to manage things yourself. No one's gonna bail you out. Not the mentor, not the principal. And for goodness sake, study and learn some education strategies in management before throwing in the towel or worse -blame the students.  Try different strategies and see what works for you.

And no no no. Don't detach yourself from the students They are people too. A kind word in the hall with a troubled student will take you a long way. You'd be surprised by what problems they have and how eager they are to open their heart to you. It's the difference between them hating you, and being your best friend.

At the same time. Don't take things personal. Remember, these students are still children or adolescents going through extreme hormonal and physical changes, and are not fully aware of what they say or what consequences it has on the teachers or their school mates. Peer pressure, crushes, relationships showing off... etc. All that has to be in the back of your head, and it has nothing to do with you as a teacher. Once you understand that, things can flow a lot more smoothly in the classroom. If it gets out of hand, that's where you come in. At least try to show them the right way whilst not lowering yourself to their level of (poor choice of word) immaturity.

I'm pretty sure you ARE being frank.    Perhaps you meant "rude" or somesuch. 

Well, I'm not one to pick a best pony, but Rarity has always had a special flavor to her.

Marshmallow?

Being a part of the furry fandom for too long has destroyed my train of thought...why did you have to use flavor?! dirty thoughts, dirty thoughts!  

or juicy thoughs...erm, NO!  BAD GRYPHON!
