005: Knife in the Back (Locked to the Adults.)
[Yup. No teenagers allowed in this filter. Mac is only included after a very, very long and intense mental debate. The toys and the Easter Bunny, as odd as they are, are also in on it.]
So, I've been thinking. Jorgmund's doing a... job of getting everyone some sort of physical training, and there's some of us who don't mind getting a little bit of an extra hand. But we're going to be here for longer than I think any one of us anticipated.
One of the things Jorgmund isn't touching on, though, is education for anything that doesn't apply to missions. Some of these kids and, yes, some of the adults, have serious knowledge gaps.
This is going to be an unpopular idea for some of them, but I think they, and we, would benefit from setting up some sort of lesson plan, get some schooling going. Obviously not history or anything tied so closely to our worlds, but universal things like physics, math, computer skills, locksmithing, other things that could serve them later.
Any opinions? I should probably say that I'm not the most experienced when working with and educating young teens, my only experience is a few guest talks and 'field trips' with the kids at the Ravenswood Academy (I don't think Rowan's desire for secrecy there applies when there's no one from my world here) and Generation VIPER.

For more usual stuff? Appraisal, either art or jewellery. French. And yes, I can teach that without the yat. Pretty good with geometry and algebra, if that's needed.

Don't see a need for appraisal. [He'll bring up the possibility of using the appraised goods for bribes later, when they're not on a network monitored by Jorgmund's tech admins.] I think French would be good. It would help if we find ourselves in an area where we need a private language. And algebra and geometry would be a big help.
