Little Witch Academia/Headscratchers

Akko's admittance and isolation?

 * Ok, so it's said that Akko comes from a non-witch family line. A trait that many of the students AND faculty at Luna Nova apparently look down on her for. It begs the question though, if they didn't like the idea of admitting someone they call "a commoner" to the school, why admit her in the first place?
 * The obvious answer is that the school is on the decline, so they are considering opening their doors to more girls outside of just witch family lines to begin attending, and Akko just so happens to be a test/guinea pig for said program. The only people in the school who aren't usually seen mocking her or talking down to her for not being from a witch family are her friends Lotte and Sucy (kinda), and the Headmistress and Professor Ursula (of the faculty). Really though, if they want to start opening the school up more, WHY are the others seemingly doing all that they could to make her feel SO unwelcome?

Magic useful in the modern age?

 * It's said many many MANY times that magic is becoming less and less useful in the modern age thanks to the rise of advancing technology. Why? Magic seems like it could be used WITH technology to achieve incredible success.
 * The faculty at the academy have been doing very little to integrate magic into the modern age, instead focusing more on old traditions. Yes traditions are important, but they're actually destroying their own culture by keeping magic use seem so inflexible.
 * For starters, if it exists, one of the first uses for it would likely be military applications. That sounds bad, but that's how the world works. There's also mass transit with teleportation and flight, construction (via transformation or moving object magic), energy production (turn garbage or waste into fuel), world hunger/poverty (making food bigger or stay fresh longer without using harmful chemical preservatives), natural disaster aid/prevention, environmental clean up (recycling via transformation magic), and the medical community would be foaming at their mouths to try and find ways for magic to help cure diseases, heal wounds, and save lives.

Expelled for poor grades? But were they really THAT bad?

 * One of the episodes shows how exams work at Luna Nova, and Akko struggles with pretty much every single subject. She gets C's or lower, but the odd thing is that they threaten her with expulsion if she doesn't get an A in at least one subject. Why? She wasn't actually getting F's in a single subject (she even got a D- in riding a broom despite being unable to fly at all) so why would they expel her for her grades? At worst, they could've forced her to repeat some of the courses, but expulsion seems excessive.

Sorcerer's Stone Magic Output?

 * In the anime, it's repeatedly said that magic around the world seems like its fading and the only places that witches can truly practice magic at "full strength" is when they are in the presence of either "a" or "the" Sorcerer's Stone. That raises SO many questions:
 * If magical energy is THAT low for everyone, how are any of the other witches living around the world able to do ANYTHING with magic, much less make a living using it? (This is conditional especially to the notion of there being multiple OR only 1 sorcerer's stone in existence.)
 * One episode focuses on the fairies who are employed by the witches and working at Luna Nova, and apparently the faculty were unwilling to compromise on the fairies' demands of getting access to more energy from the stone for their own use. The way they said it, witches used 90% of the energy and fairies got 10%. The fairies wanted 10% more energy to use, but the professors said it wouldn't be possible. Now, there's also mention that the school is losing students and therefore funding each year, and that the total number of new enrolling students is a small fraction of the number of students Luna Nova had during the "Magic Golden Age". How then did things work out back then for the fairies and witches if there were even more witches around using up the magic of the sorcerer's stone? How did the fairies not go on strike sooner?
 * Furthermore, concerning the whole "fairy strike and energy usage deal", there are SO many ways that they could have saved on magical energy AND taken the burden off of the fairies at the same time, and most of it involves pretty simple technology. Such as: electric water heater or a massive boiler for handling the hot water problem, electricity for simple light bulbs (could even install solar panels and receive tax credits), and washing machines for laundry. It's actually shown in one of the episodes that Constance was more than capable of building simple non-magic or rather minimal-magic using machines that could pump up fresh water and handle the laundry relatively easily. There's traditions and then there's self-deprivation.

Diana's Family Hospital No Longer Necessary?

 * So... It's revealed that Diana comes from a long line of witches, and that her family specialized in healing and medical-centered magic. They were apparently running a pretty big hospital-esque facility for a long time. However, with the rise of technology it seemingly caused the usefulness of the hospital to decline. Really? You're telling me that the world DOESN'T need more hospitals? Especially charity-based ones? Magic or not, there is never such a thing as "too many hospitals".
