A girl who is so bizarrely keen on school, she – well, I'll leave the twist to others to discover. The school is practically devoid of white people, if that kind of (mis-)representation matters to anyone still, and it's a school day that is quite different to what I went through all those decades ago. But the sentiment is a fun one that adults will welcome, and anything that spreads such an educational enthusiasm is going to be a good thing.
