>>but again the children gain nothing, its like the school in VV1, just a place for the kids to gather. <<

School does do something, it gives them skills. I've seen it in VV1, I had a bunch of kids. They had little bars, i mean tiny ones, a little blue bump. I spent 15 minutes clicking the school drum once a minute. When I was done, almost half of them had reached trainee status. One girl was a scientist, almost adept. She became adept in 2 hrs. Which never happened before.

Teaching in VV2 gives them skills too. Very little but do it continually and you will get smarter kids.
