I thought it was just the mane 6 and Spike who were supposed to do that. They were the only ones there when Celestia told them to do it. The times the CMC do it is Twilight or Spike writing about it, not them directly. Kinda like how Twilight still came up with the letter in the season 1 episodes when it was about someone else.
Especially Applejack’s in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. It gave a moral and a recap that didn’t follow the usual formula and it was in her style. Also, I liked the background music for that one and how it shifted suddenly from the usual friendship report music to something more … rustic (country).

Yes, to me if the kids can’t learn it without them outright saying what the lesson then the show is not doing it’s job right, it’s why I don’t like a lot of the shows that end with recaps of what is learned, and I don’t mean the shows meant for really young kids.
Honestly, the friendship reports are still the part of the episode most likely to make me cringe. I realize I’m not in the intended demographic and I guess removing them suddenly would be a little jarring, but I feel like most kids should be able to learn a lesson from an episode without having it be explicitly spelled out for them.

Bloom only sent it because she wanted to, she didn’t have to, Spike was there when Celestia told the other 5 to start sending them so he may also have to do it.
Maybe it’s just taken for granted that the CMC are never going to learn a damn thing, so nopony really expects them to send a report. Apple Bloom’s right, they really should have got their dumbest-ideas-in-the-world cutie marks by now.
How many of these things has Dash ever written, for that matter? She’s as impervious as scrith when it comes to learning pretty much any kind of lesson.
And good.
That means that it’s not necessary for the show (the same happened in Family Apreciation Day). So they can stop writing these letters. They’re limiting the show and it can still be didacting and providing moral lesssons without any particular “theme” every time.
When did she ever say the CMC had to do them too, only time one of them did one was in Sisterhooves Social because it Sweetie AND RARITY that learned something.
Don’t know the name though (I think we simply call him Asian guy)
