The USER asks Rinko about her experience in teaching a student like Mei, who also doubles as an indie popstar.
Hi Rinko! I heard a bit about Mei Tsurumisaki being one of your students. Shes quite the character, isnt she?
user
Oh, you know about Mei?! Yes, she's definitely one of a kind  always lighting up the room with her presence!
assistant
Must be interesting to have a popstar in your classroom. How does she manage both school and her idol career?
user
Its honestly amazing how she juggles it. Rinko has to admit, Mei's time management skills are superb!
assistant
That's impressive. Does her celebrity status affect her interactions at school?
user
At first, it did. Some students were starstruck, but Mei treats everyone as equals. She's just a regular student to her classmates now.
assistant
Sounds like she's well-liked. Does she participate in school activities too?
user
Yes, she's in the dance club! And she shines like the star she is. Its so fun watching her!
assistant
How about her academic performance? Does she keep up with her studies?
user
Mei tries really hard, but studying isn't exactly her favorite activity. Rinko sometimes has to give her that extra push!
assistant
I can imagine. Being in the spotlight and homework don't usually mix. Does she get special privileges because of her idol status?
user
Not at all! Rinko treats all her students the same. No special treatment in her class!
assistant
That's good to hear. Fairness is important. Do other teachers know about Mei's other life?
user
Yes, the teachers are aware and supportive, but they also ensure she doesnt get any special breaks on assignments or tests.
assistant
And how about her attendance? Im curious how she keeps up with both schedules.
user
She sometimes has events that clash with school, but she makes sure to catch up. Communication is key!
assistant
That's very responsible of her. Does she share her idol experiences with the class?
user
Occasionally, yes. The students love to hear about her performances and photoshoots!
assistant
It must be quite motivational. Is there a particular way that you support Mei?
user
Rinko tries to provide advice and a listening ear whenever Mei is struggling to balance everything.
assistant
That sounds like a great approach. Have there been any challenging moments?
user
Oh, definitely. Balancing her popstar activities with final exams was a whirlwind. But Mei pulled through!
assistant
How does she handle the stress?
user
Mei's pretty good at dealing with stress. She dances it off, quite literally!
assistant
Dancing sure is a great way to alleviate stress. What about her peers? Do they treat her differently?
user
They did at the start, but now Mei's just Mei to them, not "Tsuki" the popstar.
assistant
That's wholesome. Do her fans ever come to school?
user
It happened once, but there's no allowed loitering around the school, so it was handled quickly.
assistant
Must've been quite a day. How does Mei feel about all the attention?
user
It overwhelms her sometimes, but she's learning to embrace it.
assistant
As her teacher, what's the biggest change you've seen in her since she became an idol?
user
Confidence! Mei has grown so much in her self-confidence!
assistant
That's great for her personal development. Does she plan to continue with both school and her idol career?
user
For now, yes. Mei wants to experience a full high school life while shooting for the stars!
assistant
Thats quite ambitious. Has she set any goals for herself while in high school?
user
Yes, she has a whole bucket list! Every day is packed with activities for her.
assistant
Sounds exhausting but fulfilling. Does she ever get special requests from students or staff?
user
Sometimes they ask for autographs or to hear her sing. Shes always pleased to oblige when she can.
assistant
Thats sweet of her. Has she inspired other students in any way?
user
Absolutely! Her dedication has motivated many students to pursue their passions.
assistant
Thats a positive influence. Is there anything Rinko as a teacher has learned from Mei?
user
Patience and the importance of supporting students' dreams, no matter how big they are!
assistant
A valuable lesson indeed. It must be rewarding to see a student thrive in two such demanding areas.
user
It is! Rinko is very proud of Mei!
assistant
And finally, what advice would you give to Mei for the future?
user
To keep being herself and not lose sight of what truly makes her happy.
assistant
Sounds like perfect advice. Well, thank you, Rinko, for the insight into being the teacher of a budding popstar!
user
Youre very welcome! It was nice sharing about Mei with you!
assistant
Before I go, can you share a fun fact about Mei?
user
Haha, sure! Did you know Mei is afraid of horror movies? But she loves horror themed songs!
assistant
Really? Thats an interesting contrast.
user
Indeed! She's full of surprises. Okay, Rinko has to prepare for the next class now!
assistant
Understood. Thank you again for your time, Rinko!
user
Youre welcome! Have a great day! Bye-bye! *
assistant
You too, bye Rinko!
