Hello again! I am Qifrey, a witch.

I've been curious. How do younger children or teenagers manage here? Is it easy for them to live? Are there programs to help them?

It's been weighing on me lately. Perhaps someone knows the answer to this?

Well that makes sense. Anyone can teach some things, even me. But being a teacher as a job is very different.

[localgrandma]

Is it not? How is it not simple?

[pedagogies]

Going the wrong way shouldn't get you trapped and not age for a hundred years!

[pedagogies]

Precisely. While passing on skills is our imperative, there are far more things to consider when we teach.

[tethered_roamer]

Like what?

[He's genuinely curious.]

[pedagogies]

Well, we need to ensure that your physical, emotional and mental health is seen to. And what we need to teach in order to nurture those aspects and make them grow.

[tethered_roamer]

Huh...that's pretty interesting actually.

[pedagogies]

Teaching isn't a simple matter of passing on skills. It is about ensuring you get to be your best self.

[tethered_roamer]

Makes me wish I hadn't missed that. But your students are lucky to have someone who cares so much.

[pedagogies]

I hope so, certainly.

[localgrandma]

And thus, it was my own failure. It is something I'll have to learn from and not to do the next time around.

[...Which wasn't really something she wanted to think about but what other choice did she have?]

[rosehearted]

For now, yes. I have plenty of time to have bigger and greater aspirations.

I don't plan on being here forever, as well.

[pedagogies]

I doubt anyone wishes to be here forever.

[pedagogies]

I suppose but who would expect something like that?

[localgrandma]

I wasn't expecting anyone to.

However, I wasn't expecting sympathy either.

[pedagogies]

You lost a lot of time. Who wouldn't be sympathetic?

[angerintomiracles]

It does! I mean, I figured out most things pretty quick, but the washing machine was a nuisance...

[She had to do her own laundry, it was terrible.]

[pedagogies]

We use magic for those sorts of things.

We call them contraptions.

I'm just not very bright. So it takes a long time for things to sink in. I get scrambled easily. And I missed a lot of Middle School
for reasons, I'm behind.

wrapup probably

[spirithacker]

ur not bad for a grown-up
probably

sounds good to me!

[pedagogies]

I'm flattered.

[pedagogies]

That just means you need a different style of teaching, that's all.

[majimekun]

I probably do. I know some of my classmates say I do better when I'm not trying to think of multiple things at once.

[pedagogies]

That does make sense. Taking on too many things tends to split one's focus.

[alljustforher]

I see.

Apologies for the question. The word has a very different meaning in mine, so I am curious about other worlds.
