The entire situation was an awkward mess, two people with very different life experiences trying to relate without any idea of how the other's experience might possibly differentiate from their own.
At the very least Iesha gave him a bit of a lead on what to talk about, and Samuel nodded quickly. He didn't know for sure that the academy ran the same way as the school he was used to, but he figured it was probably mostly the same.
"Well, I haven't been to class here yet, but..." He started, taking a moment to think things over before responding. "You go to class and you sit with a bunch of other kids at your desks, and the teacher explains the lesson. Then they hand out classwork, which you're supposed to try and do on your own. Then the teacher goes over it and you check to see if you did well. Sometimes there's homework--which is work you're supposed to do at home to help you learn."
He figured that was about as good as an explanation as someone could get.
"And you have a bunch of different classes so you learn different things throughout the day," he added quickly, realizing it wasn't clear at all. "Does that help?"
