Hi, i have been having issues when i place an esteemed elder on the nursery school to teach. The kids are only staying for a few seconds and then they are running off. Even the nursing mothers only stay for a few seconds. In VV4 they stayed until they had finished being taught or i dragged them away due to collectables. I liked the fact that in VV4 they stayed in one spot for a while as i knew where they were (for collectable and crabs). It is frustrating that in VV5 they only stay for a few seconds and then run off as they never gain any skill. Is this an issue or is it how it was meant to be in VV5..Thanks

It was designed to actually impart skill to the children. The guide says:

That is Arthur's intent for the school, so if it's not operating that way, we need to have a look.

Hi thanks for the reply. I can not get them to stay for more than a few seconds. I have just upgraded to windows 7 and have just reinstalled the game. I am about to go into the game and see if they stay longer now. I will post back with my findings..

Just checked and even with a new install i can not get the kids or nursing mothers to stay at the nursery school for more than a few seconds. Its not like VV4 where they stayed for ages.

They don't stay long in mine, either. However, they do learn from the teacher. If anything, they seem to learn more than in VV4. There, 14-year-olds would 'graduate' as adepts, but only just above the trainee/adept cusp. In VV5 most seem to be easily halfway though adepthood (if that's a word).

Well your lucky. Mine stay for 2 to 3 seconds then off they go and they dont learn anything. Its so annoying that i cant get them to stay as this is sometimes handy when you need the kiddies to stay in one spot. I can use butterflies of course but then the kids learn nothing from them...LOL oh well maybe a patch (update) will come out with a fix...

As I say, mine don't stay for any time either. They do learn, though.
