alt_antoninLadies,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner -- I am distracted by research this summer. This note is to follow up on the NEWT class lists for the rising sixths.
I will of course accept Miss Perks into the class. Madam York, Miss Perks' poor performance on the exams, when her work in my class has been so consistently excellent, is yet another proof of my assertion that the exam is outdated, poorly-constructed, and in desperate need of an update. I have submitted the parchmentwork to examine her exam performance and expect to find her performance on everything but the spellwork demonstration to be thoroughly solid. I warned you that the collection of spells you were using for the practical demonstrations were outdated, impractical, and wholly inappropriate for an examination; I trust this year's results will serve as proof I am correct. I expect the examination corpus to be updated by this year's OWLs.
I do also note one omission in the class lists: Mr Finch-Fletchley has been left off the list. I trust this oversight will be corrected immediately.
The number of students continuing into NEWT study from the theoretical class track will not be a problem, though I will need to speak to several of them later in the summer to adequately prepare them for the rigours of the curriculum.
Regards,
Antonin
