The School of Friendship is a good idea


Karnak

Recommended Posts

Remember in The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, they said Friendship would revive the kingdom of griffons and make it better than ever! Greed currently is head of Griffon and Dragon culture, replace that with friendship and we could see grand kingdoms, that could put Canterlot to shame.

Community and friendship must replace selfishness and greed for the kingdoms to reach their full potential.

Twilight has the right idea, ending the toxic elements that prevent every creature from attaining true greatness.

She is indeed the princess of friendship!

I dunno. The school idea doesn't sound very interesting to me. But I hope they can prove me wrong!:)

Its seems to be more then just friendship.

Applejack seemed to be teaching agriculture

Every creature could use that even dragons. Why eat gems when you can eat grains and other foods, its a waste of great materials.

School is a bit overused but we'll see.

This whole school thing I find................... kinda dumb, it's just that we ALREADY have a school in the MLP series (Equestria Girls are in high school), I personally don't want the main series to be centered around this whole school because I feel like it just dulls the story plots and the new characters I've heard aren't all that interesting either. I don't have high expectations for season 8 overall.

Well, in the end it comes down to the way they introduce it and play around it. At one point I like the next big step, but on the other hoof I hope it will not take to much screen time. Rarity is already very busy. Running a school beside her job will not go well. ^_^

If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example. Sorry for it already. :smug:

I was just wondering if a school had started education in distance? o_O

This is studying by computers, notebooks or tablets. This is a multilateral topic. Or did I miss an episode about this?

Good idea, bad execution story-wise.

As long as I can see, it works more as a constraint than an oportunity. Unlike it should have been.

It also gives an impression that "Frienfship" is somrthing specific and vague power disconnected from every day life.

it completely contradicts the lesson that Twilight had to learn in earlier seasons- that you can't learn friendship in school. hence why she was sent to Ponyville

My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony's life than studying, so I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location: Ponyville. And, I have an even more essential task for you to complete: make some friends!

I don't understand where this "friendship can't be taught" mindset is coming from. The exact wording specifies books, studying, obvious solitary activities can't ALONE teach a student friendship. That is why the school works. It's not just students reading books, studying and doing school activities by themselves, it's a confined physical environment to make friends and interact throught the school TOGETHER. In parallel Celestia's first real friendship assignment is a broader version of the school. "Twilight, go to this specific place to make friends because letting you have the complete worldly freedom is not making you ambitious enough to do it on your own."  The new environment will teach you friendship, the different ponies you will encounter will teach you friendship, just like all the different students.

The problem is that the school's way on friendships is more artificial in controlled environments, compared to Twilight who had to  experience the ups and downs over the series.

There are a few aspects of the school which I wish were handled better, and I still think it's probably the least creative gimmick possible for this show, but I'm still just glad for the change of pace it provided.
