I do hope it is by Professor Dione
Professor Dione walked from student to student, paper to paper, an almost endless amount of evaluating, but if it would help her find any mistakes that needed to be corrected, then it would be worth it. Already, she was seeing common wrong answers in need of correction, but overall, a fairly decent class.Looking at a certain student's paper, Anne Wright at the top of the page, she noticed that it was an example of one of the better papers she had looked over. The one she had missed was only partially incomplete, and at least she knew what the Galilean moons were. The only question she had completely wrong was the bonus. Morgan le Fay? It didn't matter much, however. It was merely bonus. The fact that she did so well on the rest of the questions was most important.\n\n

And a new professor along with it by Professor Dione
She passed over the students, making a quick and informal evaluation on their progress. As she looked at Connor Pierce's parchment, what first stuck out was the multiple attempts to sign his name. First time with a quill, perhaps. Whatever the reason, it didn't matter. This was Astronomy, not a penmanship class.Looking over the answers, she concluded that it was an average paper. A bit of trouble on a few of the harder questions, but she was expecting that much. Getting half right was a pretty good start for the beginning of the class.\n\n

Ursa Major, Greater Bear by Professor Dione
She wandered the class, determined to get a glimpse of each paper before finally going over the answers. So far, the common mistakes were on questions three and four, while the questions after that were either known, mere guesses, or completely blank. No matter, she would go over each question, and go over any that needed any more explanation.She looked over Juliet's parchment, examining the mistakes that might be found. In this case, she was missing some of the Galilean moons and lacking a third example of the differences between terrestrial and jovian planets. A very impressive paper.\n\n

...and an answer. by Professor Williams
Genevieve was just going about re-organizing the crates of objects in order to make them all fit better, but it was in vain. She barely even noticed that one boy had stayed back after the usual bustle of students had made their way out into the corridor. It was in the midst of this re-arranging that Genevieve heard the boy address her. She listened to his question, resting her hips against the side of her desk."Well, Mr. Dill," she said, remembering the name from the beginning of the year and his appointment to prefect, "I'm afraid I don't have an answer that you'll find satisfactory. I'm not sure that it's possible for you to commute back and forth off of the grounds to attend a muggle school, and I myself don't have enough background in some of the advanced mathematics to properly teach you. I believe this goes above my rank- you might consider bringing this issue to the attention of the Headmaster. He's the one who can really help you out in regards to arranging such an extracurricular option."
She looked the boy over for a moment, knowing he probably wouldn't be content with that answer, but it was the best she could do. Then, as an afterthought, she added:
"I would be happy to speak with him on your behalf of course, if you would like me to."\n\n

... and a very much belated reply by Zack Dill
Zack was disappointed. He'd liked the part-time schooling at a real high school idea. Dropping out of Sonora and going to the one at home never once occurred to him, of course; the Detroit high school his brother attended did not qualify as a 'real school.' That was an 'inner city school,' which was a different monster entirely and Sonora's complete lack of math and sciences was much preferable to going there.It was also disappointing that the faculty (or at least Professor Williams herself) didn't have the expertise to teach him the material of interest one-on-one. Of course, this was a magic school, not a certified center of public education for normal people, so it was no failing on the school's part. It was just a different, very different, take on education.
"I'd appreciate that," Zack told her when she suggested speaking to the Headmaster on Zack's behalf. It wasn't that he was afraid to talk to the man himself. There was just a good possibility that he'd come across wrong and he didn't want to spoil his chances of being taught these important subjects because he insulted the school, the faculty, and the magical world in general by mistake. "Should I be there when you do talk to him about it?"\n\n
