What is the importance of the schoolhouse in the poetry collection, Jackself?

The schoolhouse is where Jackself goes to school. It is suggested to be located in the same village as Lamanby, within a somewhat close proximity to the house. The schoolhouse is the setting of several poems, including “Lessons,” “Cheapjack,” and “The Desk.” Overall, the schoolhouse is a location where Jackself feels very out of place as he frequently finds himself alone there and ridiculed by the other students, as well as his teacher and the headmaster.
