The School of Friendship may have been an awkward idea but I liked it a lot because
- It was a much-needed change of pace for a show which I felt was stagnating and running out of ideas for its main characters.
- It seemed like a natural evolution of the main-six-as-teachers trend in the show, and introduced a bit more failure and uncertainty to those stories.
- It let Twilight work as part of an educational institution, which I had always felt was the perfect line of work for her.
- It served as a symbol of acceptance and let the mane six stand against xenophobia, which was a positive development in the show's depiction of non-pony species.
- It gave Starlight a clearer purpose in the show, which was especially nice because I felt that season was a major improvement for her characterization.
- The main student characters are cute.

It suffers from the fact that the idea of an actual School centered around friendship is a really dumb idea, especially when it was established from the first episode that Friendship is something you can't just learn at school.
Student Six themselves aren't bad in concept, but they suffer from the school as well. If they really wanted them, they should have just been the mane 6's personal students instead - Show next comments 3 more
