I'd have class outside every time, as long as the weather holds. But for some reason teachers get this idea that fresh air and sunshine are privileges and we can't just have them whenever, and they never want to have class outside.
But this time I think we have a pretty strong discrimination case we can make. Like, okay, you don't want to let the teenagers touch grass, whatever, but it's legitimately not as good a learning environment for Temeraire to have to do everything online, and it's not like a history lecture has to be in a building.
