Where schoolchildren are put in the picture? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inform

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where schoolchildren are' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'in the picture?' is the wordplay.
'the picture?' becomes 'form' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in'+'form'='INFORM'

'put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inform that I've seen before include "Notify or tell" , "effective" , "Put wise" , "Tell (someone)" , "Impart knowledge" .)
