So humans are relatively boring and staid, excusing Therengian political theater.
With the teaching system likely to get looked at in the not-too-distant future I wanted to float an idea that ties into the successful nature of humans as a race.
While typically racial bias affects the quality of instruction, perhaps humans are capable of transcending that. So a human instructor is considered "of the same race" for all of their students, and a human student is considered "of the same race" for any instructor.
A small but not pointless advantage to being human, possibly.
