It is intended as *just* a starting point for discussion.
It can be expanded, contracted, altered, whatever, and then some bold person can write an article on the subject. Even multiple ones on different schools.
I always start my projects with raw lists like this, and I figured it could be useful.

Awesome.

So, I can see cynics learning from Beory's school and Obhad-Hai's school. I'll start there. Also, I would expect that most schools are taught from the apprenticeship program.

However, some schools might take the classroom approach. Boccob could also teach the rules of logic.
