Now is the time on Sprokets, um, this thread where I say, "Whoa, cool! I got Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition from the library and enjoyed it so much I bought it the first time I saw it at the bookstore. Shame the recreational kaboom group can't do their stuff anymore without being hassled. Would be fun to watch (from a suitable safe distance) some of the stuff described in that chapter.
That said, I think that in all of fenspace there will probably be quite a few small schools. Everything from people on ships homeschooling whatever kids they have with them to small schools on the stations and colonies. If you can imagine it, someone is probably trying it. I see the school Andrew is working for looking a little traditional at first glance, but also taking advantage of the smaller size to make sure the students get individual attention. Of course if you took a close look at the physical education it would probably become clear it isn't a traditional school. How many schools have parkour and martial arts (in the broad sense, everything from hand to hand fighting to fencing and the martial use of the staff) as part of the standard P.E. schedule?

Will the transhumanist future have catgirls? Does Japan still exist? Well, there is your answer.
