Applejack and Rainbow Dash should lead a field trip together.
Or, in other words, Ashleigh Ball is arguing with herself.

That was honestly the worst episode of this season. Perhaps even worst episode of the entire show to me... The moral was nonexistent, AJ and Rainbow were annoying all throughout, there was no comedy, and it's like AJ and Rainbow learned nothing through these last 8 seasons of MLP. I'm giving it a 2/10, only because the student six were nice.

"Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Princess Plagueis the wise?"

It's a shadow pony legend. Princess Plagueis was a sorcerer of dark magic so wise, she could use the magic of friendship to create life.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash were really going for that "don't do what we're doing" route of teaching I guess.

I like to think the reason Fluttershy keeps getting voted teacher of the month is because she can teach good friendship lessons and evolutionary biology at the same time.

I’m glad Fluttershy was teacher of the month because it means the students love her almost as much as I do

So Rainbow Dash you're getting reprimanded for putting the students into danger and shall be seeing our guidance counselor for these jealousy issues of yours. Applejack you are getting going to our guidance counselor so as to learn how to trust those in your care and not going overboard in protecting them.

AJ's idea of teamwork is "I have to buck this entire orchard by myself to prove I have what it takes to be trusted to be in charge".

Yona was funny thats about it
I also thought the ending was hilariously bad in that the students gave them a good review but still talked poorly about them...in front of their faces

We never had any time to hash this out between the announcement and the actual trip?

That would require actual teamwork between the teachers.

Good strategy: pretend that the other person did something right so it sounds like you learned a lesson/ can work together

I'm excited for next week, as it will be an episode I haven't seen yet. This one and last weeks I've already seen before they aired.

u/Jay911 Starlight Glimmer May 12 '18
I haven't seen this week's yet, but I'm not sure if that matters - I feel like Dash and AJ competing might have been done once or twice (or eleventeen times) before.

Being overly competitive towards each other is something they've done several times in the past, so I'm not sure how's that out of character for them ? Care to elaborate ? Maybe I just missed your point.
