Idk why but when I started college I just developed a love for data and statistics. Maybe it's because I was never exposed to it in high school, since calculus was the main focus. And I don't know why it was. I've never used calculus outside of high school, but I deal with data and statistics constantly when doing research.
I get that calculus is needed for physics, but more people are going to work with data and statistics regularly than calculus. More people are going to need to understand the difference in the mean, median, and mode. How to determine a good sample population. How to properly read and create different types of graphs. How to know if an article is showing you good, relevant, unbiased statistics. I don't even know what calculus is used for outside of physics.

happy holiday break, let’s talk class schedules
According to the Secrets of Auradon Prep tie-in book, AP runs on a rotating block schedule. Six periods per day, plus lunch. Pretty reasonable for a high school class schedule.
Homeroom once a week feels a little weird to me, but after an unofficial poll of some friends, it’s apparently not too uncommon for American high schools to only have it at the start of the week.
It’s sort of nice that the students get a study period every day, instead of having their free block/study block worked into the rotation with the rest of their classes.
In Mal’s Diary, we get another look at her schedule.
She’s in most of the same classes as the sample from before, but no chemistry class. Is Mal not interested in chemistry, or did Fairy Godmother decide it was more important for her to learn about evil fairies instead? Are there other “cultural history” type classes for other students, or did Fairy Godmother and whoever planned the class schedules for the other VKs just decide to pile on allll of the history/social studies classes for the VK to educate them in the ways of Auradon?
I think it’s funnier for me personally if Fairy Godmother received transcripts from Dragon Hall, looked at the VKs’ classes so far, and decided to say ‘fuck it’ on math and science classes, what these kids need is Auradon cultural education. Woodsmen, Fairies, Auradon History, and straight-up Goodness 101. One singular math class will take care of the rest, they’ll be fine.

Maybe this is a hot take, or maybe this is a super cold take, but
Home ec & Cooking classes are infinitely more valuable than any of the so called "core" high school classes.

that's right sometimes I read
I made these WTTW doodles in like an hour so nothing crazy but I got really excited over Dave 82 system (allegory), cause I know a good handful of systems myself. I'd be sad if they had to fuse (or be separated! screw you 1.) ok good night. <.]
I might make a couple other doodles I like this fic a lot
WTTW is by @roxyteal (I'd recommend reading it if you haven't)
