I'll comment again later, but I had to say, that description has me in stitches
Defnitely checking this out!
Does Equestria have no secondary school system or colledge? I'm certenly enjoying this fanfic.
Well I am interested in seeing what you do with this story although I have never heard of a teacher giving a project out without even a single guideline, no it has to be a written report or a science experiment, just do whatever project you feel like. Good story though.
Why is this being downvoted? It's an excellent idea.
Upvoted, favorited, followed.
First thing. Scootaloo, the daughter of Vinyl Scratch and Octavia. A+
Nothing more of great importance to add.

You know, that's an interesting point, but I'll be honest, I've had teachers who have assigned something very similar in the past. Usually it's a semester-long project, and we had to run the specifics by the teacher to get their approval, but otherwise it was very open-ended. That said, I think this is mostly just Cheerilee's way of adding an extra dimension of challenge to the project for Scoot and Spoon. Every other pair will have a more specific project to do, but Scoot and Spoon will have to find a way to work together well enough to actually come up with their own project, let alone DO it.
(Incidentally, we need a Spoon emote.)
2043540 Well I have at least heard of teachers giving assignments that are very open ended, just never something that is 'whatever you feel like' usually there is a sort of guideline even if it's just 'something to do with the class' like if it was a history class then your project had to relate back to history in SOME way. So with that in mind, do we at least get to know what type of class it is, because I always assumed (and you seemed to enforce) that Cheerilee was the only teacher, and that she taught all the different lessons.
2043628
Technically this project is just for the whole curriculum. In my headcanon, Cheerilee teaches the whole class as a unit and teaches every subject, although in Equestria education is less rigidly organized than it is here, or at least in Ponyville it is. Cheerilee has a specific set of educational goals in mind for each of her individual students, with a simple base that includes all the necessities (history, simple math, reading and writing) with additional detailed lessons for each of the students according to their interests and talents. Everypony graduates with the same set of basic skills, but is also well-versed in those specific fields that will benefit them in their eventual careers. So far in the show, we've only ever seen Cheerilee teach very basic stuff, with a few detours into things like cutie marks, Equestrian history, and career day. This is mostly because the foals are still pretty young. When they get older, she'll teach them more individually.
This is, obviously, only possible because she has a very small class to teach. As Ponyville grows--and it will--Cheerilee will eventually have to start limiting the number of students she can teach, and Ponyville will have to open another school. This hasn't happened yet.

Then you might like my other story, No Longer Lost. It's all about Scoot and how she ended up with Vy and Tavi.

I've always held within the deepest confines of my brain-canon the idea that Scootaloo and Vinyl are both the daughter of Photo Finish, but I'm a sucker for any original Scoota-stories. (Besides scootabuse) In other news, I have another Scootaloo is adopted by X story to read.
2043748 Okay that makes much more sense, so basically the project will involve what ever the student is trying to do when they grow up, more or less, and all of the basics they can squeeze in. Also instead of opening a new school it is more likely that they would try to make the original school bigger and hire more teachers first and only open new more specialized schools. At least that is what I think.
So Far, Really Good!!
Keep It Up!!!!
All The Best to You!!

Woah. That. Was. Awesome. That is soooooo my headcanon now.
Great start. When you said you were planning a sequel, I expected it to be more of a "family growth" kinda thing. But you did what psp7 (Josh) did and jumped a couple years (except he did 16). I cannot wait to see where this goes.
You're portrayal of Cheerilee was great. You have great flow and grammar. Great characterization. Keep it up.
2047302
Don't worry, I'll go back and do some family growth fics later, too. This has just been on the back burner for a long time, and I wanted to get it going as soon as NLL was complete. It actually started as a challenge (one of those, "What's the most ridiculous ship you can think of?") and it grew on me. Now Scootaspoon is my headcanon.
2047708
That is good to hear. Let's just hope this one doesn't take as long to finish as NLL.
O vell. Can't wait for your update. Don't make it take FOREVER again. Please?
I am intrigued and tracking this. Can't wait for more
okay ya got my interested, it should be interesting to see Silver and Scootaloo working together, lets hope that they can get along without too many fights, verbal or physical anyway.
i've got a few questions though. why is scootaloo being called scratch harmonica? am i assuming that her two mothers are vinyl scratch and octavia???? why those two anyway?
2065225
The details of Scootaloo's adoption are in my other story, "No Longer Lost", but the jist of it is that yes, Vinyl and Octavia--marefriends--have adopted Scootaloo. Vinyl's last name is Scratch, Octavia's is Philharmonica, and so whenever someone addresses Scootaloo by her full or last name, they call her Scratch-Philharmonica.
The reason I chose Vinyltavia? Hard to say. I've always been a big Vinyltavia fan, and Scootaloo just seems to fit best with them, to me. She doesn't really fit as a 'daughter' figure to anypony else, IMO, but really I just wanted to write a Vinyltavia story and a Scootorphan story, and got impatient, so I wrote them both at the same time.
My only thought really is that
It seems weird to me to have a teacher call students by last name. Then again I went to public school so that might have made a difference in experience
You never gave a point saying that scoots explained what happened in the room with Cheerilee. you just made it seem as though AB knew right off the bat.
2093981
Dammit. I should probably read these things more than once before posting them. I could have sworn I'd checked all of those continuities...
2093998
S' cool dude. Live and learn.
Ok ... I want to know why Scoots was so vehement about not being like her mothers? I'm curious about that.

When people make assumptions about how and who you are based on how and who people you are associated with are, and they make this fact obvious, it is very troubling regardless of whether or not you are that way.
That very kind of thing has resulted in a lot of humans in a lot of self-denial for likely as long as we've had the language to display those assumptions to one another. I doubt it's that much different for ponies. And in both cases, such assumptions are really, really aggravating and make it hard for the being that others are making the assumption about to distinguish themself as their own person, rather than 'just' a highly malleable product of someone or somepony else's actions.
Hope the explanation helped.
I'm confused as to Silver Spoon academic status.
For some reason I got that she too was one of Cheerilee's brightest students but according to Scootaloo she is a dunce.
But then again if she is only basing her accusations on the fact of her asking simple questions and turning in a test last, that's really no indication of her intelligence or lack there of.
turning in a test last could indicate that she either takes her time answering or stops to check her answers before turning it in or both.

Well, this response is way, way late, but I thought I'd actually take the time to clarify this particular point.
Silver Spoon is not dumb. What she is is underachieving. Cheerilee is right, she's actually rather bright. She's clever and talented, but she lacks the confidence to express that talent as well as the support system to improve her ability to learn. Diamond Tiara is not very helpful, because she actually DOES have a support system at home that makes learning easy and generally pleasant for her. Silver Spoon, on the other hoof, has to weather discouragement, beratement, and general ennui from her family, so she falls behind when trying to learn something new. Naturally, the further she falls behind, the harder it is to catch up. Her grades were satisfactory when she was much younger, but they've been declining steadily for years. Cheerilee can only do so much when she has 20 students to take care of, and as much as she'd like to dedicate multiple hours a day to helping Spoon, she can't. This naturally frustrates Cheerilee, who--as she mentioned--misses when Spoon used to ask good questions that showed she was trying hard to keep up. Now, she usually just sits in sullen silence, lost beyond her control.
Conversely, Scootaloo is extremely intelligent, talented, and has a superb support system at home. She excels at anything she tries (with some exceptions), and that has given her a dangerous sense of academic invulnerability that Cheerilee wants to break her of. It's an odd pairing, and Cheerilee hopes that by putting the bored, overconfident genius with the lost, struggling filly they can help each other. It's a long shot, but that's what makes good stories.

Holy Frak. I'm just now getting to this comment. Sorry about that .
Yes it was very helpful.
4th Re-reading of this.
6402731 I hope Kiro will finish this. I keep looking hoping there will be a magical update from time to time.
I followed both stories, I mean the prequel too, but now it saddens me to have to read both knowing it may never truly end.
5th Re-read.

And a few weeks after posting your comment, he gives us another awesome update *squees*.
Well. That's one way to start a story. Also Short chapter I have time for anothe
6th Re-read. Going to bed now, I'll pick this up in the morning.
"Yeah, but she said I just let you do all the work and stared at your flank the whole time, which I don't."
You don't? Is.. is there something... something wrong with my flank? *sniffle*
Of course not, Sweetie. Only an uncouth, uncultured, blind, uncouth barbarian would think such a thing!
Now you've done it, Scoots. We're never gonna hear the end of this one.
Well...that was certainly a way to start a story....
7th reread.
Seriously love the series you've built up.
8th Reread. Hope more comes out later some year.
So awesome to see a new chapter! I've loved the fic for a long while, and it's super awesome to see it updated, and with such a great chapter (as always)!
Wow Im so surprised to see the 2 recent updates. Time to reread the entire story again!
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY SUCH A THING
