Mostly what she learned that year was to feel safe in the care of her teachers and to find comfort in the company of her classmates.

->However, there is a very high failure rate at the school. Children of privilege who fail out are returned home in disgrace, or discreetly steered to less rigorous schools. Scholarship students who don't make the cut are [[ReleasedToElsewhere presumably returned to their humble origins, never to be heard from again]]. Those who endure simply assume that their former classmates are simply too embarrassed to keep in touch. [[YouHaveFailedMe They couldn't be more wrong]].
