Jeanette turns to Hikaru. "Under the current system in Charlton, what does a child do when they finish the sixth grade?"

"The child would either attend a private school, become an apprentice or work."

"Does any of that involve prostitution?" Jeanette asks.

"No." Hikaru answers.

"Crime does exist but nothing much happens in Charlton. It's a safe place to live in."

"Is anything Fernando saying true?"
 
"Some of the jobs are cleaning jobs." Chihiro answers.
 
"Fair enough. Anything else?"
 
"No."

Hikaru shakes her head. "There's nothing I can think of other than what was already mentioned. The problems that do exist are being worked on."

"Again, you are listening to what you want to hear." He begins. He continues, "If Charlton is such a paradise, then why are we selected? Why are supplies needed? Then you must ask, what is being done to stop crime? You can not do that with a population that has a 6th grade education. Furthermore, what is happening to the criminals? They being hauled away and secretly killed off? You can not tell me that there is low crime in the area because there is always crime, even if it goes unreported. Who are the judges? And who are running these private schools? You just said that public education goes to one point, but to get to a needed point, one needs to go to work, even as an apprentice. Have you forgotten the Industrial Revolution and the child labor laws? What about the Triangle Shirt fire that claimed many hundreds of 13 to 18 year old girls who were trapped in the building? Have you forgotten the lessons of history? Or are you so oppressed to believe that this is for the best for those in Texas? You want Chihiro to end up working next year and be molested by a managing supervisor at work to trick her that it is part of her job? And when she goes out to work, where is she going to live? What if she gets hurt on the job? Or killed? All this stinks of 'The Lord of the Flies.' And if you forgotten how that story ends - every child in that book killed themselves in the end."

"That's a question that Jeanette asked." Hikaru says. "She asked if it sounds strange that the Spirits are going through a lot of trouble to get an EMT-Basic who is still green when they could have chosen someone who is more experienced and then have that EMT retire to what seems like a cushy job when the mission is over. I told her that is a little strange.
 
"After forty years of rebuilding, we climbed our way back up to pre WWI technology and in some areas we have surpassed that. Give us another twenty more years and we'll be close to what you and Jeanette brought with you.
 
"A population who went to private schools can. The free education is for those who can't afford to go to a private school such as the residents at the orphanage that I mentioned.
 
"A serial killer was executed shortly after he was convicted.
 
"I'm not hearing about a lot of crime and people feel safe within the walls of Charlton.
 
"Why are you asking who are judges and who is running every private school. Even if I had a list with me, I doubt any of the names would mean anything to you.
 
"The child labor laws are currently different from what they used to be. Children as young as twelve do work.
 
"I remember history and how bad and unsafe working conditions were in the 1800s. I'm not seeing or hearing any of that in Charlton. If you want to know more about working conditions in Charlton, talk to Chihiro and Danielle.
 
"What are you talking about? Chihiro just said she will be able to resume her education this fall.
 
"Chihiro currently lives at the orphanage and she's not going to get hurt on the job because she's going back to school.
 
"I saw the movie Lord of the Flies. I'm not seeing or hearing anything that happened in that movie. The closest thing to it happened six years ago. Two residents tried to climb the wall. One of them almost died."
