[He would be surprised, but Zeff asked him all about it when they met.]
Incredibly common. Children are required to go to school until they are about fifteen or so, at the end of middle school, and then they can choose to work or continue their education into high school. I suppose they could choose the alternative, meaning they do nothing.
[He might be a tad judgmental on the subject.]
At least that's the case in my country, and many around the world where I am from. Piracy is something of a distant past. The world is much more modernized than this place is.
Anyhow, after high school is where it gets a little more complex. You can choose to continue your education, or again split off and go to work, but generally people who are continuing onto high school are looking to go to some college or university program. Otherwise, why bother?
Education isn't free, but it's relatively reasonable. Most people go to school based on their level of knowledge, usually a test is involved. The high school in the Sotoba region however was secluded and was the only choice. I'd rather have gone to a prep school in the city but my parents moved us out there.
