It's kind of implied rather than explicitly taught, and even then only really in certain subjects after those subjects become optional.

The misanthrope in me questions how many of the people in the mobs paid attention in school in the first place. You can't just hammer stuff into kids heads, you need to inspire them to love learning and I doubt we will be getting that.
