The school of friendship was a bad idea from the get go.
First off the idea behind it is teaching subjects about “friendship”. I dunno but I was feeling they started to overstretch the main theme of the show a little bit too far. Sure, you could make an argument that it’s more like “human interaction classes” but still, I’m not really sure it works well in a show that showcases fantasy adventures and comedic slices of lifes, specially because that would also means they would get too upfront with the lessons.
Once the actual execution comes in it really didn’t change my perception, the stundent six were utterly boring (I do have some small guilty pleassure on Smolder but as a whole the rest of the student six as both individuals and group were rather forgettable and bland), and the plot with Neighsay was honestly rather unnecesary. Is just an asshole who says “only ponies so no creditation”, it doesn’t bring anything interesting, not even the fact that the Yak’s belligerence or the changelings invasions could have explain his logic agains other creatures while still portraying him in the wrong, but no just make him a jerk for the sake of being a jerk and not even an entertaining one.

It doesn’t help the classes themselves are also not really something really extraordinary, is just some small history classes and something something else, is not like Celestia’s school for magical unicorns or Cloudsdale’s camp for flyers, heck AJ’s barn makes better use for Earth pony related things.
