Somewhere between missed homework, lost lunchboxes, and rushed exam nights, students quietly pick up lessons no timetable ever mentions. It doesn’t come with chapter numbers or bold headings. It never appears in the syllabus. And yet, it sticks longer than most formulae or definitions ever will.School and college promise lessons in maths, science, economics, or history. But what actually stays with students often comes from the spaces in between the long corridors, the shared benches, the awkward silences after a wrong answer, and the small wins that never make it to report cards.
