#Jonathan! I am very unhappy with this! Go down to the basement for punishment.

*Valentin teaches his children discipline and forces them to study many sciences and foreign languages and severely punishes for failures*

Valentin himself skipped classes in his youth, did not do his homework (I bet Hodge wrote all his essays for him) and believed that the academy was a waste of time. Cassie wrote somewhere that Valentine's father was a harsh man, but the way Valentine treated his studies, he did not come to class… Logically, his father would not tolerate such behavior (I think Valentin himself would definitely punish his children for such a frivolous attitude to learning) . But Oscar didn't seem to care how his son studied.
