Suggested correction: He may have just got on without paying and not have been noticed by the conductor. That does happen, which is why conductors go through the Amtrak demanding to see tickets while the train is going. I'm sure the conductor would have noticed by the time they did their rounds, but Tom got on the train before that happened.

Question: Why do we never see Sarah or Henry in school?

Answer: Film makers have to make choices about what can be shown in a movie. They are limited by the running time of the film, what best serves the overall continuity of the plot, and also the logistics of setting up and filming many different scenes. Sometimes scenes are filmed, but later are cut out entirely. If showing Sarah or Henry in school does not directly serve the storyline, then there is no reason to have it in the film.
