x-essex.livejournal.comGood afternoon,
I have been speaking with Doctor MacTaggart and it occurs to me that we may be able to dovetail our teaching program with some very real issues. As you may know, the British government has all but crippled the Muir Island Research Centre for the time being. However, Muir Island is not only a highly successful research lab, but it is also a member of several organizations in mutant research, development and therapy, coordinating with universities all over the world.
If our plan is to assist in helping these students with understanding their powers and how different parts of the world will react in different way, whould it not be best to schedule a field trip of sorts to Muir with the classes and some of the staff? Doctor MacTaggert can certainly use the help in safely closing down the parts of the station that are not in use, and the students would certainly learn quite a bit, simply from a cultural perspective. Some of them are planning on higher education, and to meet graduate students and professors in various fields will give them a much wider perspective on their powers and their future.
I feel that we have a professional responsibility to open as many doors as possible for every student here, no matter what challenges their mutation places before them. With the start of term, we could place the event in mid-September, and use it to build the core study focus around for the term.
Questions, comments, concerns?
