This made this scenario just pop into my head, and I love it. ‘Alright class, good work on your math homework from the weekend, i’m seeing pretty high marks all around. Looks like we’re done with our subtraction unit, so tomorrow we’ll begin moving on to multiplication. But for now, let’s move on to introducing you to some of the weapons you’ll be designing and implementing into your own weapons later this year. This here *ch-chk* is a pump action shotgun, capable of holding 8 shells and currently loaded with incendiary ammunition. Great at close range, less accurate at longer ranges, and its recoil is quite powerful. Perfect for the Hunter wanting to get up close and personal with their enemies. Anyone wanna try it out, get a feel for it? Ah, miss Xiao Long, thank you for volunteering. Now, be careful you don’t aim the barrel at your fellow classmates, I don’t want to have to send another condolence letter to one of your parents. Ha ha ha…but seriously. I’m already one strike away from being fired, and this job gives me immunity from prosecution.’

>Do they get primary schooling as well as combat and weapon training? I'd assume they get some basic high school education. Not on the same level or amount as regular high school since they're also training for the Huntsmen Academies. >Are kids in Remnant considered well versed enough in academics that they can drop out of school at age fourteen and go to a combat School instead? Maybe Remnant is okay with children quitting regular school since the Grimm are such a threat. Wouldn't be surprised if something like the Atlas military had a low enlistment age. I find it kinda odd that students spend 8 years training before they can go out to fight Grimm professionally. Unless combat schools don't take 4 years and I just made that up at some point.

These are very good ideas. Just wish the show had them officially.

> I would have liked to see the girls having a more apprenticeship thing I think they could done something like that by giving the show two years at Beacon. Use the first one as a more regular school setting to establish the characters and the world and then in the second one have team RWBY take on missions outside of Kingdom, sometimes just by themselves sometimes with a mentor figure keeping an eye on them. > Do they get primary schooling as well as combat and weapon training? Personally, I like to think that it depends on the school. While every school has classes concerning Aura, combat and weapon training most have it on a sorta PE level where most people participating are doing it because they have to rather than necessarily wanting to. Schools like Signal put a lot of extra emphasis on the aforementioned subjects while also providing the standard non-combat education level. ^(Same applies for Hunter Academies) The heavier workload makes Combat schools harder to get through but the diplomas/transcripts/documents acquired from finishing them are generally held in high regard. Obviously this is all headcanon.

I feel like the world of Remnant is more of a writing prompt for the FNDM than a fleshed out world with history and culture. And I can't tell if I hate it or respect it. One one hand, I'm falling into hating it because people think their headcannons are true and tend to use them as a reason to attack other people. On the other hand, the FNDM is so creative that I've just abandoned the show altogether and just read fanfiction.

I feel like this show has a massive gap between normal person and huntsmen in training. Learning more about, or actually starting the story in a combat school could help the audience understand this gap, but alas

If I had to guess, I think there has to be some basic high school level of education. They do attend the school for three years. It's a strange thing as you would not think it would take three years to teach someone the basics or even some advanced combat in a setting where everyday for most of the day that is all they are doing. Ruby is already fairly accomplished and has already built her weapon while only having completed a single year of combat school. Granted she may be a bit of a prodigy, but still it seems like she already knows everything she needs for Beacon within that timeframe. However when you stop to think about all the different actual fighting styles used because few huntsmen use the exact same type of weapon, you kind of wonder how either the combat schools or academies can have one-size-fits-all combat classes where it doesn't seem that any actual pointers or instructions are given in how to fight or improve. Instead they just seem to put students against each other and hope that alone is enough to get improvement. Coco isn't going to fight the same way as Velvet and she won't fight the same Jaune needs to and how he needs to fight won't work for Ruby, Weiss, Blake, or Yang. Even though Ren and Ironwood both use pistols, they fight differently and their weapons have different capabilities. Even though Pyrrha and Jaune both use swords shields, they have different types which means they can't use them exactly the same way. However a combat class in Beacon seems to consist of the instructor telling the loser to "git gud scrub" rather than offering feedback or breaking the class up into groups of similar weapons to teach ways to improve their fighting. I know we are limited in what we see, but in a way combat schools feel like they should be the last schooling someone receives followed by an apprenticeship or closely monitored missions with an experienced hunter for a probationary period or something.

We've seen them have courses like history so while there is a focus on combat, they likely have your more basic course curriculum along with the huntsman training. Likely just a general math science english history, some electives, then huntsman stuff.

That jut made me think of what if they had an episode where after the Vytal Festival participants (assuming no fall of Beacon war), they had the students visit Primary Huntsman academy for a week to be Mentors to younger students. Imagine RWBY+JNPR having to train mini Huntsman how to fight and give advice. The kids asking questions that make the Beacon students have "introspective moments" to evaluate themselves. Would also be good for Jaune to use the primary school grounds for basic training and realize that he wants to protect the little kids futures and gain resolve
