okay but consider this: INTERSPECIES FAMILY FRIENDLY SCHOOLS. For any family with any amount of supernatural family members - though it’s probably more of a haven for human couples who adopted a little monster kid.
Imagine some freshly graduated human elementary school teacher having to “settle” for a job at one of these schools. Being overwhelmed, confused, terrified, but eventually comes to love it there.
Imagine the fucking HANDBOOK on teaching classrooms full of every kind of supernatural creature.
“Molting season for harpies should be handled as such: Assure the child their molting is natural, and offer them the special molting-itch cream from the nurse’s office. Help the child collect any fallen feathers, etc….”
“Kappas only get ONE cucumber before nap time. Otherwise they will refuse to go to sleep.”
“Make sure playtime with especially carnivorous/predatory children is heavily monitored. Before they mature, most reactions are instinctual and the child cannot help it.”
“Seat the children accordingly…. do not place pixies too close to children who may find their erratic hovering distracting or tempting.”
“Aquatic children should be placed in the transportable aquariums so they can join the others for recess.”
“Insect-variant and snake species will have to miss school periodically during their molting process, as it can be very painful for them. Be sure everyone in the class knows to be extra gentle with them once they return, since they’ll be very sensitive to touch for a few days.”
“Remember that not all sentient supernatural children are humanoid. Take care in addressing little ones like chimeras, kemono, dragonfolk, or the like. They are not animals but fully fledged persons despite any difference in stature.”
“Slime children should all be placed in classrooms with tile floors and special drains for easy cleaning. However, do not keep these rooms isolated, make sure each room has a good balance of different species for optimal socialization.”
“Remember to teach children tolerance of one another, even if a certain species is particularly troublesome to them. (Only within reason; do not attempt this if two species are hazardous to another’s health, for instance.)”
“Night classes are held for children who find it more comfortable without the sun.”
“Remember to accept any hug given to you. Slime, tentacles, smell and all.”
I could honestly go on for hours but I’m gonna stop but JUST IMAGINE. JUST. IMAGINE ADORABLE CLASSROOM SHENANIGANS IN A STILL RELATIVELY NEW POST-TRANSCENDENCE WORLD.
