Back to School!

ten_fwd_modsYou all may remember that Captain Picard, before the arrival of the Department of Temporal Investigations, decided that it was time to get the Enterprise's passengers more involved in shipboard life. If you don't, or if you weren't here, the PL in which it happened is right here.
One of the ways he suggested doing that was getting them involved in shipboard classes!
The Enterprise is a ship with a large civilian complement, which includes families with children. There are, of course, schools on board to cater to their educational needs. Children on board the ship learn subjects such as math, literature, botany, and art.
The Enterprise is about to expand its teaching and learning opportunities.
What does this mean for you?
From September, lessons will be run in a single monthly catch-all post that is open for threading, much like our Sickbay and Roommate Mixers. Each teacher will tag in with their subject and classroom, and from there students can tag in to start threading. We'll have a "teachers lounge" and "common room" subthread as well so teachers and students can mingle outside of the classroom. Do you have ideas for something else the post should include? Let us know in the comments!
The first IC school post will go up on September 28th, though it will be open for backtagging into until the next post goes up the following month.

What does this mean for you?
- Does your character have something to teach?
The Enterprise is now looking for teachers! This can include standard school subjects like English, Botany, History, or Science. There are also going to be classes specific to the Star Trek world such as Warp Engine Tech. But there's also room for plenty of general interest or more specialized classes. Got an art or craft skill you want to run workshops on? Want to teach self-defence? Music? Dance? Writing? Something else we haven't thought of?- What if another character is already teaching a subject yours is interested in teaching?
That's not a problem! Every teacher needs a "substitute" now and then, if they can't make it to class. Sign up for the course you want to teach even if someone else has already done so, and we'll investigate having multiple classes or switching off months.
- What if another character is already teaching a subject yours is interested in teaching?
- Does your character have something to learn?
Both adult and child characters are welcome to sign up for classes. Obviously, the availability of classes threaded out with a teacher will be dependent on teaching offers from player characters. If there is a class you would like your character to attend and nobody has signed up to teach it, courses can be handwaved by request.
