A Matter of Education

The Matter of Education.

We’ve got the drop-outs group which exiles certain characters from Hogwarts for certain reasons. However, there doesn’t seem to be much going on with that group. It seems to me that it is just there for the hell of it – something that has to be there but doesn’t really have much to do with the site as a whole. Most of the drop-outs don’t have homes either as they are underage and have been subsequently thrown from their homes by their NPC parents. A fair few of these homeless waifs have ended up in Khaat’s house which is technically her own fault for letting them in but whatever. My point is, the drop-outs do nothing and it seems as if they never will do anything apart from sit around and be terrible members of the magical community. So, I think there should be a clause. If you’re going to be a drop-out then get a job and be active within that or you’ll be sorted without consent and sent back to Hogwarts. I know what does seem slightly harsh but the drop-outs are nigh on useless. If they’re not part of one of the large site plots or actually doing something useful then what’s the point? They’re underage so send them back to Hogwarts.

I do agree with this. I somehow can't just abide with the current way we are doing things that let them participate in some limited things but leaves them even without basics of food, cloting or shelter. They are children after all, and I cannot imagine the wizarding community would put up with having wizarding children wandering the streets homeless as dangerous as the wizarding world has become. I would like them to go one way or the other.

Well I'm thinking of soon, perhaps by the next plot, make going to Hogwarts compulsory, sort of like in Voldy's reign in DH. That way, every single character under 17 has to go to Hogwarts, or their character gets sent to the character graveyard. I don't want drop outs to actually have something to do, or more people will become drop outs.

Completely agree, 100% useless, and i can't a use for them any time soon.
Surely you would agree that these people had a choice 'Be underage and go to Hogwarts' 'Be a graduate and have a job' or 'Be underage and not go to hogwarts' you can't just bend rules for them to be able to have grad rights, that's just not... right
so yeah, make it compulsory, or make them grads and age them a few years, they're characters, they'll get over it

Good that someone remembered to mention this since i agree with the whole drop-out thing is stupid. For graduates or those who are over 17 it should be fine since they are techiniclly adults, but a drop-out with a parent character (like real charrie not NPC) should be an exception since people have right to teach their kids at home if they like.Again just for those who have a parent non-NPC charrie.

Not to mention how those drop-outs seem to have extraordinary skills with a wand which is totally unfair for students who actually go to school. You know that Ne'Os is the right example for it? I mean come on he can't be more powerful then the entire world he is just 16 years old. I thought we were gonna resolve that somehow, but we didn't. Returning to drop-outs i really think that being one is totally without an actual point so we should start to get rid of it.

We did resolve that...at least we laid the groundwork for it. The Tier list s there, people just need to come down hard on him and say "You can't do that."

Indeed. He's no longer overpowered.

But Yeah, people like Ne'os, well he didn't choose to be a drop out did he? The plot just made it so that he had to be one. but yeah, that sort of started this whole nonsense.

I think some cases, like Ne'os, we should allow it. But not for every other person.

Mmm, maybe some very strict circumstances, and only with people we trust/think wont screw things up, and that was we can have a reliable source of people

that is if we keep them at all, you know my views

Do you seriously think Ne'Os would listen to someone? I mean come on he entered the ministry full of aurors and ministry officals and Gabrielle couldn't beat him. It's apsurd he can be one of the most wanted wizzards being a 16 year old drop-out.

What do you propose we do then? If he won't listen, push harder. We need to kill those kinds of ridiculous plots when they're still in the RP request section.
