Within Teacher!Verse, Tyson has returned to the family legacy of teaching mathematics at Cambridge University; and struggling not to see that as a failure.
If Tyson died mid-semester and anyone had to look through his files to take over his lessons, they would be doomed. Tyson doesn’t keep anything related to the web at the university, but his very organised system is …intangible for anyone else.
It begins easily, sorted by class and then descends into a complex colour coding based on the colours Tyson sees with his Synesthesia. He simply finds it easier to link the work to the student than trying to remember purely by name. However, that means no one else can follow along.
A blue folder may mean one thing for one student, yet mean something else with a yellow dot sticker on the outside, and something different if that yellow dot has a blue, black, or red 2 written in the middle.
It makes perfect sense to Tyson and so long as Tyson doesn’t get killed in his work for the Moriarty Mirrors, no members of the mathematics department will be reduced into tears having to sort through his system.
Rather than only allowing his best students into the Delaney family manor as his father did, Tyson has opened it up for as many students as he can. He doesn’t want people to have free access to his home, but he wants the resources to be used and to help as many students as he can, not only those in his classes.
He continues to guest lecture elsewhere whenever he can, but Tyson will always prioritise his own students. He’s already dividing his attention between the university and the needs of the Moriarty Mirrors, he doesn’t want to take more away from them. He owes his students, and the university, to give as much as he can.
