Think it's more so that Esmeralda gave permission for the slime to be taken to school, but she didn't give permission for snacks to be brought to schoolBring a slime to school? go right ahead kid, bring 20 if ya want

I don't think this is fair to Rain. If you look at the previous chapter, Rain wasn't even present in the group when Esme was trying to teach that lesson. Rain has probably been told all her life that monsters are dangerous creatures for killing. She was doing what she thought she was supposed to do. And Esme seems to have ignored Rain entirely, instead of ensuring everyone actually learned the lesson.Note that Rain (the jealous girl) was more proud of killing harmless slimes than befriending them... Esmeralda (the elderly teacher) wanted to teach a lesson about the weight being alive and taking a life, not abusing/exerting power over the helpless. What Lily did instead was remind Esmeralda that there are times when one can simply appreciate being alive and sharing its joy.
I'm actually more concerned that Rain's first act was to kill rather than observe the slimes. Esmeralda wanted to teach a lesson in "adventure", not score-keeping kills for the sake of "sport". The way Rain went about killing the slimes as an experiment for her magic is a sign of a potential psychopath right there.
I failed to see what is/was unfair about my observation and opinion on my part. And I am certain Rain has been in class - she even appears on page 3, top panel of chapter 25.2.I don't think this is fair to Rain.

Page 3 is not a page in which the lesson about monster lives happens, though. It's only toward the end of the chapter.I failed to see what is/was unfair about my observation and opinion on my part. And I am certain Rain has been in class - she even appears on page 3, top panel of chapter 25.2.
Esme's own thoughts say "To survive, humans have to fight and kill monsters. They'll defeat monsters plenty of times in class from now on." Rain is probably aware that classes will go in that direction. It's probably a basic expectation anyone would have.I don't disagree on being taught, but then you have to ask how does Rain end up with the conclusion that killing first is what she is supposed to do?
Checking that all students are present and accounted for when instruction is happening is a basic teaching duty. Unless the lesson doesn't really matter, but in that case we're back to having no reason to harshly judge Rain.No idea why you seemed to think Esme ignored Rain entirely - she had an entire class to supervise. Not every student is fortunate enough to get all the attention they need from their teacher. Realistically, students need to reach out and ask because a teacher simply can't read the minds of every student.
Parenting is tough
I'm actually kind of mad at Esmeralda. Part of the reason they were there was to get the children use to reality that yes they kill monsters but to not become numb to it and see them as living creatures.So when are we going to get to the jealous girl causing some big incident, being forgiven, and them becoming best friends? That is where its going right?
