An hour after the start of the Jaunt, asking important questions

[naturaltwohands]

... I suspect these questions may be on the minds of others, and it is on mine because it obvious differs much from the one of my childhood:

What is it like to attend a school? What should we know about it? What is expected of us? Are our studies canceled right now?

I cannot speak to if studies are cancelled or not, but schools are... interesting places.

In my world, they are regimented places where one learns prescribed information in a formal setting. Much of the time, they encourage neither creativity nor individuality, as everyone is expected to dress and act and learn the same.

[Someone is a cynical so-and-so today.]

Perhaps that is just my area of the world, first of all. Second, school is what you make of it. One can do things that makes the entire situation more tenable.

Then my experiences have not been altogether different.

[There's a heavy dose of sarcasm there. I mean, look at what he just told Daneel.]

Casper has mentioned math, science, history, and gym? And tests for them? We were never tested on anything except in direct practice.
