I’m so confused. Celestia sent Twilight away because she was doing great in Magic which means she was bad at friendship so Starlight doing well now means she’s doing bad in something else and needs to be sent away?
 
Does this mean Starlight is actually failing friendship lessons now? It seems really complicated, isn’t the focus supposed to be the student doing good? But they way they compare it to Twilight makes it seem like she’s actually doing badly.

The comparison is completely arbitrary on that end.
 
Notice how everything Twilight suggested was not to get her to learn, but to exercise her apparent skill in friendship. The opposite of what Twilight was sent away for.

Just because you are amazing at magic doesn’t automatically mean you are bad at friendship. It’s more an example of occupying yourself so much with a certain thing that you don’t allow yourself a chance to experience other things.

I don’t know, to me it seems like a coping mechanism, like revisionist history on Twilight’s part because she can’t accept she wasn’t doing well by Celestia at that time.
 
Twilight:” She’s doing so well I’m afraid I have to send her away just like how you sent me to Ponyville for being so amazing.”  
Celestia:“Actually I sent you away because you where faili-”  
Twilight:“Enough about my past as your perfect student, we need to discuss what I should do with Starlight!”

The paralels were the feelings Twi and Celestia both had. THAT is what’s the same. Not the situation.
 
Twi’s problem was the one Discord mentioned. She feels that Starlight is beyond basic lessons that she can teach her as a mentor. So she panicked, because in her mind Celestia had a plan in place for her from the beginning.
 
Twi realized that when she’d reached a certain point in her lessons with Tia, Tia sent her away, so she feels that that’s what she needs to do with Starlight. The situations aren’t the same other than the idea of mentors sending their students away to learn and grow by themselves once the student reached a point where their mentors one on one lessons are no longer enough.
 
The situations aren’t the same. What IS the same is the feeling Twi and Celestia were having. They felt they’d become obsolete if their students left them.

Both Twilight and Celestia, for whatever reason, need to send their student away to spread their wings but they don’t want to because of Empty Nest Syndrome. It’s that simple, and you’re whinging over details.

This is the truth.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Twilight tries to befriend Trixie once again if that’s what would make Starlight happy. The real question of course would be if Trixie would do the same or refuse out of spite of Twilight.

Trixie’s situation makes me hopeful the series will assert unicorns as a whole just need the right teaching to be competitive with the supposed eliteicorns, and they just aren’t getting that education.
 
Maybe an actual societal change the series can do.

And Trixie showed signs of improvement to that in a day.
 
The whole ‘advanced magic’ thing is slowly not meaning a thing. The only thing that keeps other from knowing it is cracking open the same books. Or not even that, just someone telling you the mental process.
