Scholastic knowledge and… (what shall we call this?) Situational Awareness, don’t necessarily use the same parts of the brain. She could have an eidetic memory for everything she reads, aces all her tests (presuming she can locate the exam room.)
You don’t necessarily need to be a “teacher” to feel teachers’ pain. We all have moments in life where we get to teach someone else something. And sometimes moments where we fail to teach someone else. Sometimes, it’s our fault. And then other times, it’s not.
I’m reminded of times I went to try to help students who asked for it, but clearly were not ready for it. But also times where I’ve been directed to help coworkers who also clearly weren’t ready for it.

O …. M …. G !!!! She is the Physical Embodyment, AND Avatar of Cognitive Dissonance!! She’s Scaring them.
Is this a Adolecenmt Succubus Thing or is Briar the Full Incanation of a Recessive Trait that Atsali , [As a Hybrid,] is only partially Smitten with?
Ms. Alger used to be overall slim. I do wonder what her para type is, and if she had to study the wall-healing spell, or if it just came naturally. As for her body type, give her time.
What if Briar didn’t disappear, but is instead and N-dimensional being, and the school extends into the N-dimensions, but only those able to perceive the N-domensions can see & access those parts of the school? So, although she followed their directions, she didn’t take into account their limited perceptions.
The great mystery is why she’s in high school.

Lots of sensory issues.
Does her… brain fog clear? This doesn’t seem to be a sustainable way of life. Waaaay beyond Finding Dory….
Is she unanchored in time?
. . . and (mind)space as well . . .
And does she know Billy Pilgrim?
She may perceive time very differently to others. It might mess with her spatial positioning.
And I thought slipping into the space between spaces on occassion was bad.
The teacher thinks; ‘All the students in the world, and I gotta get the belaboring one…’
Oh, I can’t relate but I can still feel her pain (I was never a teacher).

Oh frell. Is she living live not just by being displaced in location but by being displaced in time as well. A life lived NOT in a linear fashion?
Inner dialog: ” do NOT zap the airhead! DO NOT zap the airhead!”
To Briar, causality is apparently something that happens to somebody else. Occasionally.

She’s a goldfish.
In time and space as well as mind.
How often does she pass out because she loses track of what comes after exhalation?
It seems she loses track from one sentence to the next.
Is she living backwards through time, like Merlin?
That would be too easy’
Her trail is probably full of all sorts of time ‘lords’ trying to make sense of her travels.
Or does she just have a short-term memory problem?
how about “no memory”
after all, she’s forgetting what happens between sentences or even what the last sentence was.
A) The drama club has its lead for it’s staging of Memento this year; and
B) I realized Ms. Alger’s body type is just an upside-down Standard Wapsi and now I can’t unsee it.

In the words of some one I don’t know “Oh My God”…LMAO
Interesting observation — all the girls tuck their ties into their shirts — except Briar, where it hangs freely in mid air.
Maybe that’s how they wore it at her old school.
Out of sight, Out of mind…
She’s clearly not as tightly wound.
I don’t think she’s ‘wound’ at all.
In fact, she couldn’t find the ‘winding room’.
She has progressed beyond the threshold for ‘airhead’ into ‘void head’ …
It’s rather amazing her tie is even in the front.
If Briar is like this, one wonders if her sister is similarly causality-challenged…

It’s official. I love this one.
I laughed so hard and so long at the teacher’s reaction.
It is SOOOO obvious she has information about this student we are not yet privy to.
