Scootaloo can't actually fly but technically her wings are functional: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lhXnuNP8g4#t=1m15s

which is why I think she doesn't have strong flight in her genetics.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the "can't fly" interpretation, but that's just me.

Well, I didn't say she couldn't, just can't yet. Her wings are too small.

They are? I never noticed anything like that. Then again, I fail to notice a lot of things. I probably have a low Wisdom score or something.

Yeah, her wings are tiny: Here's Dash.

Here's Scootaloo

One small quibble: that's a full-grown pegasus in that other picture. Best to compare Scoots's wings with another kid pegasus.

Like... this?

Not much of a difference, I think.

Do you think Scoot even wants to fly? She seems pretty content with staying on the ground.

I think it's likely, given how much she idolizes the best young flier in Equestria.

It's hard to say whether she idolizes Dash's flying ability, though, or just her general coolness.

As far as 'mandatory' education goes, I would think that education is more likely guaranteed than mandated in Equestria. Celestia's definitely a benevolent ruler, and an educated populace can only be a boon for a wise and kind ruler - and society in general.

Good point. About the first one, I mean. No opinion on the other one.

[up][up] I'd say it's just the coolness. Flying doesn't even seem to be a factor for scoot

^^That's another thing. She doesn't even have to be benevolent to institute mandatory education. =)

I'd guess that Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is a school that teaches, among basic subjects, advanced magic. if Twilight hadn't gotten in, she'd have gone to another school, I'm sure.

[up]Yeah it seems that her shcool is simply private. While teachers like cherilee are just public.

Well, the point is the stuff you learn is generally stuff you'd need to know anyway. Seems a good reason to make it mandatory.

Do you think there are tuition fees for "Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns"?

^Season two is slated to start sometime in fall or winter, I think. No one's really sure.
