* TruckDriversGearChange: "School of Friendship" begins in A major, followed by shifting two tones to C major for the first verse and second chorus; it then shifts to Eâ™­major for the second verse, shifts back to the original key for the second chorus, then shifts between C minor and Eâ™­minor as the song [[DescentIntoDarknessSong descends into boredom.]]

The school seems to start off okay, with Twilight and her friends teaching the students, but Twilight gradually recognizes that their ways of teaching are against the EEA book, and makes sure both teachers and students conform to the rules. This quickly sours the mood at the school, but Twilight insists they need to do this to get EEA accreditation. Many of the students begin to doubt that Twilight and her friends are the apparent heroes of Equestria they claim to be, since they are so boring as professors. On the Friends and Family day, during which Chancellor Neighsay plans to review Twilight's efforts, Gallus and Smolder convince their friends to ditch classes. This leads to some panic by Twilight, Starlight Glimmer, and Rainbow Dash when they find they've gone missing while under the eagle-eye of Neighsay. The six students, having spent enough time to relax at a local lake and get to know each other better, decide to fly back to the school; this leads them to ask Ocellus what forms she can transform into, which she demonstrates by becoming a giant insect just as they near the school where all their family and friends have gathered. This creates a mass panic, quickly ruining the ceremony. Neighsay is outraged by it, and is even more livid when he finds that there are non-ponies enrolled at the school. His angry outbursts at the non-pony students anger the various non-pony guardians, such as Prince Rutherford and Dragon Lord Ember, who decide that the school is not helping teach their students friendship, and take them away, while Neighsay immediately closes it, placing a magical lock to prevent anyone entering it.

* HypocriticalHumor: During the argument in the hallway, Smolder says that maybe dragons and griffons are just too tough for friendship... before sharing a fist bump with Gallus, showing that the two are already bonding as friends.

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Gallus says Gilda has told him a lot about Rainbow Dash. After seeing that she’s a teacher now, he says he was expecting her to be cooler.

** Chancellor Neighsay is shocked that Twilight includes a Griffon at her School, even though Gilda attended the Junior Speedsters flight camp with Rainbow Dash in her childhood (as mentioned in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E5GriffonTheBrushOff her first appearance]]" and shown in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E8TheLostTreasureOfGriffonstone The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone]]")

I'm unsure if the flying camp would technically fall under EEA Jurisdiction (although it does educate ponies), but it still seems weird that Neighsay objects to Twilight and Co having a Griffon in their school when we know Griffons are accepted in Equestrian Society for the most part

Twilight prepares her plan for the school and presents it to the EEA, led by Chancellor Neighsay. Neighsay is concerned about the ability of Twilight and her friends to run the school given their regular adventures, but Twilight convinces him that the school is an important part of defending the realm and parts beyond. Neighsay grants preliminary approval on the basis that the school will help teach ponies how to protect themselves from threats outside Equestria, ignoring Twilight's insistence that it's meant to help them get along. Neighsay provides her with a detailed EEA rule-book to follow.

** Chancellor Neighsay wants to keep the friendship school open specifically to help ponies against the other races of Equestria. When he finds out that the school will admit any creature, he promptly locks the school gates with a magic spell (though his stated reasons for closing the school are due to rule violations and other such things, not the species of the students).
