the whole "teach the town children" thing was weird. did only rich kids go to school back then?
I would imagine the poor kids just really needed to learn basics(reading, etc). Remember he was teaching history. Those children all had parents in service so they likely were thinking "why do I need to learn this if all I'm gonna do is follow in my parent's footsteps?"
Him admitting he was also a service worker made the kids more interested cause he was now seen as "one of them" who was able to rise above his station. Obviously people did rise above their station back then but it likely wasn't something done often, especially in small towns like that.

I was somewhat surprised to learn that kids in tourist areas (that's where I was; not sure about the rest) go to school from age 6 to 12. I guess after learning the basics they are expected to get to work.
Maybe the same thing?
