We don't really need real world facts to be to confirmed by the show. I can pretty much guess that the state of California has a governor in the Teen Wolf universe. I can guess that no parts of the state of California have sunk into the sea. Would you argue either of these points? Why would you think that in the Teen Wolf universe nurses are paid substantially more than they are in real life? Or real estate costs are substantially less?

Actually, though, the elementary school thing IS supported by the show. See any little kids running around the halls of Beacon Hills High School? Nope. And the fact it's called Beacon Hills High School instead of Beacon Hills School. But, again, that requires inferring facts from the real world -- like that children are not kept in cages or chains until they are of age to go to a high school. Or that children even exist. Maybe everyone is born as a teenager and just doesn't start to age until they're sixteen. I mean, the show hasn't said otherwise....

Melissa HAS commented on their financial situation as well. ("One shift won't break us. Not completely." Not the words of someone rolling in cashy cashy goodness.) And, if your theory that Melissa inherited the house is right, she still didn't buy the house which is all I was saying, though I was suggesting she got the house in the divorce and that (in the season 1 version of Scott's family history) Scott spent some time at his dad's and took the bus to school.

So, if Scott was home schooled, why was he taking a school bus? I'm not "making assumptions based on very little evidence" I'm "making conclusions based on treating facts as part of a larger picture". Facts don't stand alone by themselves and there's a lot more information than just two lines if you're willing to recognize that.

Anyways, I didn't say they were incompatible, I just said if it isn't an inconsistency, the dialogue makes no sense. This is true.
