>>102598270There was no war going on for Korra to be sheltered from. Katara and Sokka were raised during war time on a block of ice and didn't have any of the hiccups that they had Korra go through. Korra would have had teachers from different cultures like Earth and Fire staying with her and she learning from them, plus she had Katara and her parents and wasn't a stranger to things like that Spirit Festival so she interacted with other people besides the White Lotus, her parents, Katara, Tenzin and others.
