In the morning, Kai sighed as he looked at the sleeping Otaku and smiled as he tucked in his snoring cellmate some more. “Sorry buddy, I can do this on my own. You get some sleep.” Kai said as he dressed into his flight gear and snuck out of his room and snuck around the temple to go unseen as he got down to the stables to get his ride. “Hi Lefty, sorry it’s so early buddy but we got to go.” Kai said as he fed Lefty an apple in apology and then got his bag and saddles and was off to do his patrol…
Tenzin wasn’t going to happy about this…

Political Economy
The necessity of foreseeing the ill effects of knowledge affects the choice of books and the whole course of instruction in the schools. There can be no study of History, except as prepared by Turkish authors. There can be no unexpurgated study of Literature. Political Economy, and even Metaphysics cannot be studied except where provision has been made to prevent access to non-Mohammedan views on these subjects.
In all of these schools the charges for tuition are very small, consisting in fact, of little more than small presents to the teachers on festival occasions; the presents being gauged according to the ability of the parents. I11 the higher schools there is no charge for tuition, and in the professional schools at Constantinople students who are intended for Government service, with a certain number of other students, receive not only tuition, but board, lodging, and clothing from the school. Non-Mohammedans are received in the professional schools at Constantinople and at the Academies in some of the Provinces. But the pupils of all the lower grade schools and the great majority of those in the higher schools are Mohammedans bulgaria tours.
Mohammedan family
As in other lands, so in Turkey, the student who is bound to learn will do so whatever the obstacles of his surroundings or his implements. It has been my fortune to be on such terms of intimacy with a Mohammedan family that the son regarded me as almost a relative. “ It was no small pleasure to have the hoy of fourteen or fifteen come bursting into my room, full of exultation and with flushed check and sparkling eye to cry out: “ Oh, Uncle, uncle! I have passed the examination. I go into the Academy next term! ” That boy was a student. Whatever the defects of his books or his teachers, he was on the high road to culture.
There are good teachers among the Turkish public schools. But it is an unfortunate fact that thoroughly wide awake men, who succeed in waking up the minds of their pupils, have more than once been disposed of by being sent to posts in distant parts of the Empire where their alertness may find a balance-wheel in the backwardness of the population at large. Such men are left in obscurity long enough to realize that there is such a thing as being too active as a teacher.
An educated Turkish gentleman one day looked at me sharply in surprise, as though he had been read too closely when I remarked that the great difficulty with the Turkish schools is the incompetence of the teachers. “ Yes,” he said, “ teachers are not easily found at best and with us they are chosen for their need or for their ability to flatter rather than for their skill. The nation suffers that a man may have a morsel of bread.”
A part of the remarks of this gentleman were illustrated by an incident which occurred under my eye in the office of a high official, a part of whose duties was the choice of teachers for the public schools. A man of fifty, slovenly in appearance, wearing the long robe of the old style Turks, and the green turban which shows that a man has more trust in his ancestry than in himself, entered the room, after having been announced bv an obsequious servant at the official’s ear. The old man walked rapidly forward, stooped over, and fumbled for the official’s coat tail, that he might kiss it. This produced a sort of polite scuffle. The official pushed the man’s hand away, saying “ God forbid! ” and the suppliant finally compromised on kissing his hand. Then he folded his two hands on his breast with a gesture of despair.

Hiro was sitting at the lunch table all by himself while eating his food and reading a comic book. He was pretty new to Collège Françoise Dupont as he hadn't met anyone new yet. (Marc)
Tumblr media
Marc was also sitting by himself, far in a corner as he ate quietly and flipped through something on his phone. As usual he made himself as small and unnoticeable as possible, face covered slightly by his red hoodie.
(lol, you picked a shy one. :)

I have passed the examination. I go into the Academy next term! ” That boy was a student. Whatever the defects of his books or his teachers, he was on the high road to culture.
There are good teachers among the Turkish public schools. But it is an unfortunate fact that thoroughly wide awake men, who succeed in waking up the minds of their pupils, have more than once been disposed of by being sent to posts in distant parts of the Empire where their alertness may find a balance-wheel in the backwardness of the population at large. Such men are left in obscurity long enough to realize that there is such a thing as being too active as a teacher.
An educated Turkish gentleman one day looked at me sharply in surprise, as though he had been read too closely when I remarked that the great difficulty with the Turkish schools is the incompetence of the teachers. “ Yes,” he said, “ teachers are not easily found at best and with us they are chosen for their need or for their ability to flatter rather than for their skill. The nation suffers that a man may have a morsel of bread.”
A part of the remarks of this gentleman were illustrated by an incident which occurred under my eye in the office of a high official, a part of whose duties was the choice of teachers for the public schools. A man of fifty, slovenly in appearance, wearing the long robe of the old style Turks, and the green turban which shows that a man has more trust in his ancestry than in himself, entered the room, after having been announced bv an obsequious servant at the official’s ear. The old man walked rapidly forward, stooped over, and fumbled for the official’s coat tail, that he might kiss it. This produced a sort of polite scuffle. The official pushed the man’s hand away, saying “ God forbid! ” and the suppliant finally compromised on kissing his hand. Then he folded his two hands on his breast with a gesture of despair.
