Plus the test system was based on punishing the students who actually wanted to study.
It worked through a logical deduction of, "If people are willing to study in this situation then their parents obviously influence their life by pushing them to study."
Basically they would just try to intimidate the ones who tried harder into shutting up so they could spend all their time trying to make the lowest percentile pass tests.
I didn't really give a shit either way so I just slept in class.
The kids always said their parents just signed them up for those anyway
and the teachers didn't want to fail the kids cause it made the teachers look like they weren't doing their job to pass the students (and they didn't want to put up with them for another year.)
I had to put up with the biggest bullshit
I was stuck in classes with people who didn't know who Adolf Hitler was.
Also, pickles! ^_^
