/* ============================================================================
   AidenTeach — Schools page
   Complete page-scoped design system. Everything here lives under
   body.schools-page so nothing leaks into the shared chrome or other pages.

   Palette: paper white + deep navy ink, teal brand (#3aa7be), violet + amber
   accents. One dark "cinema" section (showcase).
   Animations: CSS owns ambient motion (aurora, marquee, pulses); GSAP owns
   entrances and scroll choreography (js/schools.js). No element is hidden by
   CSS for animation purposes — with JS off the page is fully readable.

   Scrolling stays native (no Lenis). Override global scroll-behavior so wheel
   and scrollbar input never feel inertia-smoothed on this long page.
