Worked in a school that sounds rigid (6)

I believe the answer is:

taught

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

'worked in a school' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'sounds rigid' is the wordplay.
'sounds' shows a homophone (sound like).
'rigid' becomes 'taut' (I've seen this in another clue).
'taut' is a homophone of 'TAUGHT'.

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taught that I've seen before include "disciplined" , "Tutored" , "Was coach" , "given a lesson" , "as a pupil" .)
