Don't you find that separating girls from boys - like this school does - just in itself is a real bad start in modern life?

You are right that it is probably Esther's mother who chose that school because Taffy cherishes the freedom of his mind: His daily hour spent on the forum is all about the freedom of the mind. He would not live in a mental straight jacket. He accepts to put his daughter in a mental straight jacket because he has not thought about it deeply yet.

Anyway - it saddens me that schools like that still exist, but I have to move on - if you and me had little SB's, we would send them to public schools, I am quite sure you would agree with me on that one, so the little SB's can learn to deal with the complexities of the modern era right from the beginning of their education. Am I right?
