Totally Random Animorphs Thoughts

Give him the silent treatment, he'll bore and prance away down  the yellow brick road, to hang with the winged monkeys and such.

What has Tim done that's bothering people so much? He posts a lot, but otherwise...

[redtailedsaffa]

Yeah man, chill out. Unless something extreme happens, no need for drastic measures.

Also, did y'all straight-talkers realize he can still view this thread? Damn smooth, Dylan.

[YeerkSalad]

So he hasn't done anything?

[redtailedsaffa]

He hasn't insulted all of us or our mothers, so no. Seriously though, there are a lot worse things that have happened in RAF's history that have gotten people banned. Tut tut, newbies.

Well said, Saffa

He reminds me of my past self with regards to noobiness, tbh.

[YeerkSalad]

Heh! That's funny, but remember that he can read this.

PP 46-59 of Book 8: The Alien: Ax attends Jake's school, posing as his  cousin "Phillip".  Shouldn't "Phillip" have to register at the school, so that the officials at his home school can be told that he went to school while on vacation?

Shouldn't Phillip have to give Jake's school proof that his vaccinations are current?

I am confident that Assistant Principal Chapman would be particularly interested on gathering information on everyone who sets foot at his school, just in case "Andalite Bandits" are seeking to infiltrate the school system in order to spy on the Yeerks who have infiltrated the school system.  He has heard speculation that the Andalite Bandits might be human!

Is this a good place for the above comment, or should I stick it in the "Simple Animorphs Questions" thread?

At one point do questions concerning aspects of the Animorphs series count as "spam".

Eh, in a school of so many people I doubt the authorities would bother if there was one extra hanging around, plus they allow visitors in all the time. At least, they do here. Don't schools in the US have visitor policies? Kids coming over and sampling a class when applying for admission in the school? Then again, you guys do have this weird ass education system that has way more rules than necessary, so.

In this case, the authorities are aliens from another planet, who are fighting a resistance force which can morph into animals, attack, then retreat, demorph, and disappear.  I would therefore expect that said authorities would be more concerned about "visitors" then normal school officials, and would be interested in their backgrounds (as in "do these visitors really exist as legitimate humans, or might they be Andalite fakes?")

True. I've always wondered that. You couldn't get away with it here in a British school.

Surely it would have been better to have Ax pose as one of the Animorphs at the school? No random extra relative, no new kid at the school, no reason to draw suspicion (providing Ax can hold himself together).

If Ax IDed himself as an Animorph, wouldn't Chapman jump down his throat?

The only thing I have found so far on the subject of kids bringing visiting relatives to school is the following from the Marshal Public Schools website about its summer school program.  I'm assuming that the below policies would apply to the regular school year as well.

Program Visitation by Students not Enrolled: At times, summer school students desire to bring an out-of-town visiting friend or relative. Visitations are allowed according to the following guidelines:

    A non-enrolled student may visit the program for a maximum of two days.
    Parents of children who are bringing visitors must call the summer school office one day prior to the visit to state that their child is bringing a visitor.
    Student visitors to the summer school program must check in at the building office upon their arrival.
    No student visitors will be allowed to visit a class where a field trip is occurring in the class on that day.

Dunno about school, but you can definitely get away with it in university. I've sat in random classes without giving attendance like no big deal. That said, shifting the books to a college/uni environment actually opens up a lot more possibilities since parental interaction is at a minimum.

Also, thanks Tim for bringing the thread back on topic.
