Teacher's Lounge is Open -- 12/8/2005

Since he couldn't think of anything better, Methos bought doughnuts and fruit from the NPC Grocery and piled them in the lounge. And also made lots and lots of coffee, as well as setting out tea things (no bags, proper loose tea and tea balls). On a hot plate a large kettle of apple cider is steaming.

"You're obviously not new here," says Jenny. "Or everyone would be swarming you asking if you were new." She grins ruefully. "How's it going?"

"No, not new. I usually keep to myself, though," she says, not without a touch of melancholy. "Things are fine! There's an assignment due tomorrow and I fear that my students may have put off writing it till tonight. It's a bit irritating. But nevermind that, I'm sorry, I'm Eighth, cyborg theory teacher. And you?"

"Jenny Calendar." Jenny holds out her hand. She's not asking about the weird name. There are too many at this school to ask about each and every one. "Pysch teacher. And before you ask? Yes, I'm a real teacher. I taught computer science over in California before I got this gig."

Jenny grins ruefully. "I feel your pain. Some of my kids? Haven't done homework all semester."

"Pysch teacher?" she asks, tilting her head. "What sort of things do you teach?" she continues with interest.

[[Is it bad of me that I hear a "whiiiiiiiir, clink!" when she tilts her head?]]

"Right now, the kids are designing their own experiments," said Jenny. "It's sort of their midterm and final project all at once. I'm having fun watching them come up with projects and get excited about them. Next term? I'm thinking we'll run something a little more basic."

"But what kind of experiments are they? I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject," she asks.

"Pretty simple ones, mostly," said Jenny. "Studies of perception. You know, give someone two pictures, make them pick one. Then, take the pictures back, hand them the one they didn't pick, but tell them it was the one they picked. Then ask them why they chose that one. You get some interesting responses. If you want to see it in action, I can send them over to do their experiments on your students some time."

Jenny took another drink of her cider. She'd have added more cinnamon than Adam did. "So, cyborg theory, though? Pretty advanced-sounding stuff. I can see how it might be related to psych."
