She can if they nearly start an international war.

I’m telling Princesses Celestia and Luna on you two!

@Background Pony #A797  
Well one of them had a point and we don’t know if besides being an elitist he did his job properly and the other well is likely just a tale and not based in reality.
 
Besides Celestia can’t just go and fire ponies just because they are mean, that would be tyranny.

Why didn’t Celestia fire both?

Well I liken Neighsay to Igor Karkaroff so I will go with Flintheart because even if not everyone can get in Neighsay school those that do will get a good education and potentially become well adjusted members of society, while those that don’t will just go elsewhere. Flintheart will emotionally scar most of his student this means more dropouts and callous achievers.

@Animedvd1990  
I agree that that is just as bad

also i dont really care what is acceptable in todays teachings, we live in a educational system where boys get in trouble for playing Cops and Robbers, and for making guns with their hands and bang noises while playing. I do not accept that it promotes violence as an excuse, because literally every boy in kindergarten before 2000 played that lol

@Blue Star  
Remember that the episode takes place long ago, and such behavior was considered acceptable in the past.

@Animedvd1990  
the problem with that logic is his wording.  
“Study, work hard and focus on the betterment of Equestria.”  
and then to reinforce that: “you can either do what I say or play with your toys and make nothing of yourself”  
that right there is harmful guilt tripping. okay, imagine you’re a child, your teacher just destroyed your beliefs and one of your decorations for Christmas and you’re told “you’re only allowed to study, don’t play with the other students and don’t play with toys because having a childhood will make you a loser.” his priorities would be severely frowned upon in an actual school and he would be fired.  
I know this because I’ve seen it from a Principle who tried to bully me into basically the same thing.

I’m gonna have to say Both.  
one’s a tightass like Snape the other is a fucking Racist.

@Ihhh  
basedon what we saw, his priority was to educate magic and science (same thing, ask thor) he cared about that above everything else, and someone who is that dedicated to education, wouldn’t be prone to push anyone that desired knowledge

@Animedvd1990  
You do not know that.

alteast flintheart did not segregate, nor fully force, sure he kinda shit talked any ideal that wasnt his own, but alteast there as offer of choice of his way or leave, and was dedicated to teaching to those that wished to learn

@Background Pony #3DD1  
Unicorns are not real.
 
Oh you mean lousy teachers and uptight schoolboard.

You know what ths sad thing is, that this kind of pony is real in our world.

@Kamazeustra  
The question was Equestruan Education. Not Politics.
 
With Twilight keeping the exchange students/ junior ambassador idea from her friends till the end I have to wander if she kept it from the EEA as well.

@Backgroundpony  
Aside from the fact that his position on the board of the E.E.A. doesn’t grant him the authority to dictate Equestria’s foreign policy, which is what he was actually trying to do.

Celestia School for Gifted Unicorns  
Ponyvile School  
Rock University  
School of Friendship
 
We should consider that we (may) are biased and he actually does his job just fine.

Headcanon, Neighsay is Flintheart great great great great great son

Neighsay. Flintheart can only screw up one class at a time.

Neighsay because he overlooks ALL of Equestria’s schools until Twilight’s. His influence is in the entirity of it. Flintheart is just the second richest duck in the world…I mean he’s just the teacher at a small time school.

Severus Snape vs Doctor Strange…wow, now that’s a wizard battle I actually wanna watch on pay per view.
