"Nothing" from A Chorus Line (acting school, obviously)
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
These suggestions are a little less direct, but could add a dimension of "study" and "schooling" to a "thinking outside the box" feel to the show.
"Father and Son Chat" from "Once Upon a Mattress" (the mute king explains the birds and bees to his son... I guess you could call it home schooling)
If you wanted to go into "what we've learned from others" as a darker moment, you could always use "Carefully Taught" from "South Pacific".
"You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two" from "Oliver!"
"Carnegie Hall (Do-Do-Re-Do)" the "singing teacher sequence" from "On The Town"
The Sondheim-Wheeler version of "Best of All Possible Worlds" includes a lot of stuff Pangloss is teaching in the Westphalian School.
"Ya Gotta Get A Gimmick" from "Gypsy" (The school of hard knocks, bumps, and grinds)
"War is a Science" from "Pippin" (Pippin is his father's student in the number)
"I Won't Grow Up" from "Peter Pan"

Edgar Allen Poe from Snoopy. If you're unfamiliar with the song it's about students not wanting to be called on in class. "Please don't let call on me today".
The video is very poor but I didn't want to post a link to an actual production and have it be deleted.

"All our dreams can come true -- if we have the courage to pursue them." -- Walt Disney
We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
"Back to School" from GREASE 2
"Reproduction" from GREASE 2

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
