Instead of driving Theo away, he ended up joining my morning sessions permanently. Dad took a day off to correct my techniques and to teach Theo. Then he had to take another day off, because Theo came over with a whole gaggle of children. The town children were separated into several groups. Those under 8-years-old were free to wander and play as they pleased. Those who were between 8-years-old and 15-years-old were enrolled in the town school to learn vocational magic and physical skills, as well as reading, writing, and math. Then there were two years for specialization training, and then finally the children were fully-fledged adults able to fend for themselves.
