dumb question but how do I give lessons to kids?

[jacobellinger]

I built a chalk board but can't figure out how to use it.

Have you build a school desk? Once you have a desk, an adult assigned to childcare will give a lesson at some point. Black board is just a tool chest basically. It just enhances the actual production building.

Child needs to have schedule set to Anything or Recreation and they will go sit at the desk after they've fulfilled their need for knowledge. They'll sit there and wait for an adult to come teach them. So the more people you have set to child care the better. You want to get them taught as soon as they go in the classroom so they can keep repeating the cycle to gain more growth tiers.

Children have 2 of 6 possible learning types they're interested in and will only be interested in those types of learning. But these will change periodically. When assigned for anything or recreation they will randomly pick one of their two learning types to engage with.

I think it's on their needs or health page, above the learning bar they'll have 2 symbols which show which activities the child is interested in (you can hover over those for more information).

the only two learning types that require any special set up are:

Class Learning: You need a desk with 2 chairs and up to 3 chalk boards in range. (you can add additional desks if there's multiple children that need lessons). If an adult is assigned to child-care and available, they'll come and give lessons when a child needs educating which gives the child xp in a random available skill. (an adult isn't necessary for learning fulfillment but you're missing out on the extra skill xp. Teaching trains Social skill for adults).

Radio-Talking: Requires a powered Com Console.

the other learning types don't have any particular requirements beyond needing access to outdoors for a few of them.
