Lilia watched as the image nodded and disapeared. She was pretty sure this meant she did the task right or atleast she hoped it did. She was sure what she said were true issues with Trelawny and her teaching and the image seemed to have acknowledged that which she hoped was enough.". |
Candy smiled as the image of Snape disappeared, she was sure she had done the task right, she looked toward the door and walked out. |
Violet pressed her lips together, head tilted to one side, comtemplating the words before her. She allowed the ideas half-formed in her mind to finish swirling around in confusion, then she pushed aside the uncertainties and biased opinions that lingered. She picked up a quill and put it to parchment, the rasp of the nub scraping against the paper filling her ears and the smell of ink urging her forward. Violet wrote as follows: "I, Violet Silvermoon, have given this matter a great deal of thought and shall divide my opinions on these professors into the subjects that they have taught. Charms: I believe that while Professor Flitwick certainly has his flaws, as does any human being, he is on the whole a very good teacher and should stay within the school. His teaching methods are strong and his cheerful demeanor is effective. Students would rather be taught by someone smiling and forgiving of mistakes than someone who is grim and does not show any humor. Divination: Professor Trelawney seems to love what she does and those interested in the divining arts seem to think her an appropriate teacher. While her time in class does not always reflect the true power of Divination, and witnessing a true prediction seems to be exceedingly rare, the learning environment is sound. If the teacher assigned the role had a prediction often in class, the students might feel discouraged that they themselves cannot match such a skilled Seer. In addition, the principles taught in Professor Trelawney's class seem to be valid, even if they often seem to amount to nothing. Therefore, Trelawney shall keep her position. Care of Magical Creatures: Professor Hagrid takes an unusual approach to his subject. While the fearsome creatures she shows to his students might frighten them unnecessarily, they also become more educated because of it. In general, knowing how to care for an fend off bigger, more dangerous creatures, like the ones Professor Hagrid brings to class and enjoys so much, is more important than knowing how to protect against the harmless. It is for this reason that I believe Hagrid should stay. Herbology: In this case, I find it almost painfully obvious that Professor Sprout should keep her position. The High Inquisitor had only one complaint about her teaching methods. The allowance of profanity in class is, I think, one that does not make or break one's job.When dealing with vicious plants, a slip of the tongue is not uncommon, and punishing students for crying out in surprise is unreasonable. By showing lenience towards the matter, Professor Sprout shows that she is a just and competent Professor, forgiving of human nature. Potions: As a skilled potion maker, it seems only right that Professor Snape was hired for the job. I see no reason to cast him out of Hogwarts, unless he ever purposefully poisons a student using a potion, with no intentions of giving them an antidote. As for assigning them difficult potions, it is the same as Professor Hagrid showing his students dangerous beasts. It elevates the skill level of the student more prominently. I also believe that out of al lthese teachers, it is Professor Snape who is most suited for his job because potionmaking is a harder skill than most, and mastering it is harder than mastering other subjects. I have reached the conclusion that if anyone is to be fired, it is the high inquisitor herself, for showing such a biased and unfair point of view towards those who she observes, and also for basing whether or not to let the professors keep their position on such small and insignificant reasons. Once she finds a flaw, she seems unable to look past it to find strong points." |

OOC. Umbridge is NOT an option |
Violet looked back down at her paper, deciding that something needed to be changed. She considered it for a moment, then crossed out the section regarding High Inquisitor Umbridge herself. But now she had to pick someone to fire...She thought about it, then replaced Professor Trelawney's section. Her paper now read: "I, Violet Silvermoon, have given this matter a great deal of thought and shall divide my opinions on these professors into the subjects that they have taught. Charms: I believe that while Professor Flitwick certainly has his flaws, as does any human being, he is on the whole a very good teacher and should stay within the school. His teaching methods are strong and his cheerful demeanor is effective. Students would rather be taught by someone smiling and forgiving of mistakes than someone who is grim and does not show any humor. Divination: Professor Trelawney seems to love what she does and those interested in the divining arts seem to think her an appropriate teacher. However, it is very rare that she shows an indication that she herself is able to See, as is the focus of her class. While I believe that teachers should not be flaunting their own talent every second of their classes - doing so would discourage the students and undermine their self-esteem - teachers should be able to at least show that they are able to perform and succeed in their own subject. In this case, I do not believe that Professor Trelawney has proven herself adequately. For this reason, she is the one I have chosen to fire. Care of Magical Creatures: Professor Hagrid takes an unusual approach to his subject.

A slight wind seems to blow into the room, carrying a small piece of parchment with it. The parchment flutters about for a few moments, then finally falls to the floor in the middle of the room. OOC: The Ministry of Magic RPG Education Fair Mystery is scheduled to come to a close on Wednesday, May 5. We hope everyone is enjoying the roleplay! |

All the classes talked about are neccessary to the educaation of the students. What is not needed is someone who complains about teachers and never has done anything herself. I would fire Umbridge.. She is no help to the students or teachers in her capacity. J.J. Starr made his discovery known to the announcer. |
Huh. Well. This was rather... interesting. Odd. But interesting... yes. Sarah stared at the report in front of her, thinking of... well... nothing really. So... they wanted her to read through crazy Dolores Jane Umbridge's reports on Hogwarts professors and see which ones she agreed with and which ones she didn't... and then fire one of the professors? She merely blinked her eyes a few times and then looked down at the report, studying what was written. After she finished, she pondered the words a bit, soaking each and every detail in. Then picking up her quill, she flipped the page to the other side and began to write. Quote:

Her illusion started to fade, and as the man had made the right decision, the illusion of Umbridge faded away. Quote:
But with her too, the student had made a well rounded argument and so the illusion of Trelawney began to fade allowing the women to pass on. |

Sarah was startled at first to see Trelawney's face and sobbing noises erupting. She was quite the jumpy type. And she didn't do too well with people that cried. Should she hug them? Should she pet them? Should she crack an awkward joke to break the ice? Sarah was awfully bad with that. Nor had she ever had to fire anyone before. Chad took care of that. Which she was VERY thankful for. "Sorry professor. It had to be done. I know you care but caring isn't quite enough. I'm just doing what's best for them," she explained, offering a sad smile to the illusion. Soon Trelawney began to fade and Sarah was left wondering if it was over? It better be because she was leaving! With that, Sarah walked out the door. |
Nikki scanned the sheet trying to understand what the presenter was explaining. When she had finished she diligently began working. Quote:
