  • How can so much happen without there appearing to be any kind of class taking place?
  • Why are so many students wearing high heels and dresses?
  • How is the common area so nice? How are there picnic benches?

  • How is the art room so big? Why does the teacher have a turban and a feather?
  • Does anyone have homework?
