“HOMESCHOOLING, n. The education of children at any place other than a school—usually by parents, tutors, or a mix of both. Where homeschooling is legal, it follows the public curriculum and tends to grow in correlation with parents’ dissatisfaction with the alternatives. Where it’s illegal, all children are forced to go to school, regardless of affinity, bullies, or circumstances—unless of course there is a pandemic and the adults freak out. See HOMESCHOOLING in the Guide to Alternative Education.”

“SCHEMA, n. A mental template students use to process and categorize new information based on previous experiences. They do so by either assimilation or accommodation. For example, a child might have a schema for a dog that includes features like “four-legged” and “furry.” If the child encounters a cat for the first time, they might initially assimilate it into the “dog” schema. However, when her dad tries to hang a painting on the wall, and she then notices that the dog looks up to his master in full admiration while the cat observes the two in arrogance—realizing that the image is far from being hung straight—the child accommodates this new information by creating a new schema for "cat.”
