The Mock Turtle and Alice converse about their differences in schooling, and the turtle is baffled and when Alice has not heard of “ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision” (85). In Through the Looking-Glass, the two queens test Alice’s mathematical abilities, though she is unable to adhere to their unusual logic of how when you take a bone from a dog, the dog’s temper will remain. However, Alice’s versions of the stories are not the same as the those of topsy-turvy Wonderland and she often nervously forgets the correct verses, which the creatures are quick to point out. Alice even thinks to herself, “How the creatures order one about, and make one repeat lessons!…I might just as well be at school at once” (91). She exclaims, “no, that’s all wrong, I’m certain! I must have been changed for Mabel” (19)! Throughout the stories, other characters demand that Alice recite certain well-known poems, suggesting that this was a common activity for schoolchildren to do. She distinguishes herself from one of her friends, Mabel, by saying that she “know all sorts of things, and she, oh, she knows such a very little” (18)! To regain a sense of herself and sense of what is true and rational, Alice attempts to recite the multiplication table and capitals of countries, but quickly becomes frustrated when she muddles the facts. When she first enters Wonderland, Alice begins to question who she is because of all of the unusual things that happen to her. Alice places a high value on education and intelligence in determining her self-worth and identity.

Throughout Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Alice makes many references to her school lessons, particularly arithmetic and the recitation of poems.
