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?

[...he has absolutely no idea what to respond to that.

So he simply goes with the next thing on the list.]

No, I mean - is having been taught independently a thing that a human of this world could have happen to them?

[naturaltwohands]

[Uhm. Yeah. Probably the best.]

... Oh.

[A flurry of embarrassment.]

I do not know. I am not human. Possibly?

[finalizes]

I never heard of it, but it would be useful.

[Laughs, home-schooled people still learn how to read and write.]

[naturaltwohands]

I have learned many things independently, and I know that humans do so on my world as well. Through books or apprenticeship.

[finalizes]

I will ask Casper about it.

[He's from a different place than Britain, but surely all humans are the same when it comes to schools, right?]

[naturaltwohands]

He would know far better than I; Casper has taught me much about the modern world since I've met him.
