"Considering the points presented, there are three professors that can be removed, but the two outweighs the other.
Point one: Professor Trelawney can be fired, not because she cannot make predictions upon requests but because she cannot seem to entice the student's attention that well. She also is deemed and must be entered to proper teaching techniques and with the proper handling of students.
Point two: Professor Hagrid can be fired because he has not have the proper teaching qualifications. He has not undergone schooling. But the good point is he is enticing the student's attention by showing them the right and correct handling and taming of creatures and what he teaches is based on experience.
Point three: Professor Umbridge, although she is not on the list is not to be missed. She teaches theories without giving the students time to participate or practice what they learn. She has barbaric ways of discipline and teaching procedure.
All three of them can be fired. But if Professor Trelawney and Professor Hagrid will undergo a training for their lacking, they can be accepted back to Hogwarts. As for Professor Umbridge, following her dogma, she cannot be accepted back to Hogwarts because of violations to wizards rights.
DH then looked at his answer once more and flicked his pen to disappear. Antigone stepped forward and looked over the man's shoulder at his work. Interesting... another one for Umbridge, eh. She wasn't actually on the list, but oh well. He made some good points there. " I would cover my ears if I were you," she said with a smirk as she walked away... Quote:

The reason being because even though High Inquisitor Umbridge is a bit harsh on evaluating the Professors of Hogwarts, she does have a point. Professor Trelawney does not show she has the skills or talent to teach a course, especially a subject as questionable as Divination. I believe Professor Trelawney is wasting students time because not only is her subject useless, but she doesn't know how to teach it. Oliver put down his pen and waited for further instructions. Antigone made her way through the desks and looked over people's shoulders in true teacher fashion. She stopped at one of her Department's employees and said, " Honey, I need a little more detail from you if you will." She smiled warmly and walked away... Quote:

He started working on his answers, jotting all the ideas he have on the back page of the paper. Antigone then gave the next person a little smile as she saw him dilligently working. Had she not been so freaked out by the while idea of Reagan and Allie being gone she would rather enjoy having so many men around her... Quote:

Charms... A first year student faces a small core set of classes, including charms. As he remembered, many of them were easily intimidated, and it was difficult to encourage some of them.
That's right, Slade had been muggleborn. He'd developed some dislike of charms at first... Meanwhile, he'd felt it to be simply a natural progression. If he'd been easier on the boy...
Next, Divination. If this entire ordeal hadn't already made him uncomfortable, this most certainly would have... and did. However, he'd learned a great deal about the subject from his wife, as well as from his own mentors. And from what he remembered, it wasn't exactly a reliable subject. Other than that... Trelawney wasn't exactly a name he wanted to see right now. Especially not in these circumstances.
Discipline in Divination... From what he remembered, there was rarely a class that went right with his wife. While he wouldn't have the heart to fire his wife, he also didn't think it would have been necessary anyhow. Heaven knew his class had his share... And what was it with him and seers? Moving on...
Care of Magical Creatures. ... He was tempted to skip it. He'd spent half a day upstairs hiding from a kneazle. What did he know about it? He even left it up to Jasmine to take care of his late wife's cat. However... From what he remembered, and his history wasn't exactly the best, but this Hagrid person was something of a bumbling idiot. Well-versed, and could care for some... interesting creatures, but perhaps not the best professor material.
Herbology. Well, as far as he was concerned, no one could match him in that area. Again, he was tempted to skip it, but it was likely better that he didn't.
He'd glanced up to see that one of them had already written something out, and was facing... Well, that was interesting. A direct confrontation very rarely did well, however. That much he remembered. A small smile pulled the corner of his lips as he remembered his students protesting, against his word, even the possibility of him being fired. It was a fine day...
That brought him back down to the sheet of paper. How had he been seen? His wife? His fellow professors?
he pushed to continue,
Potions... At this point he was realizing his memories of Hogwarts and his past were fairly skewed. But he needed to handle himself long enough to get to whatever the next level was. And then he wouldn't have to deal with memories of Hogwarts... or the wish to return.
And you weren't?
He growled. He'd gone the entire day without hearing that voice. Refocusing, he continued.
He almost felt bad for choosing the Herbology professor. It seemed a little biased, even to him. But then, given he'd been close to someone in all fields besides charms, there probably wasn't a choice that wouldn't look biased. Well, it was said and done. He signed the parchment and laid down his quill, waiting. o_O WOWZA! This dude took things seriously. " This is great! Thank you so much for your hard work. I would watch my feet... there will be someone coming to visit," she said and smiled as she walked away. OOC: Please, let's not have everyone pick Umbridge. Yes, I know she was terrible... put there are other options.  Thank you |
