The highest bus number is 20, and there are only 6 buses.

When the bus doesn't run, the school superintendent comes by to pick up your child.
The orchestra teacher and the band teacher have to coordinate activities, because they share most of their students.
Most of the teachers teach 2 subjects.
People don't know to introduce themselves to you, because everyone knows everyone else.
People know which house you bought when you refer to it by the owner who lived in it during the 70s.
