In fact, some people even grew up going to school on a train. In Ontario back in the 1920's and 30's, CP and CN ran "school trains" for the children of railroad workers who lived in remote areas away from any school. There were special passenger cars that a teacher lived on that would be dropped off on a siding in one of these areas for a week and the children would go there for school. The teacher would give the children all the homework for the next few weeks before the car was taken away and dropped off at another location. It went in a continuous cycle.
