Concerning the Last Dazibao...

It occurs to me that my little "adapt or die" rant may have scared some of my more idealistic followers. But think about it, all I'm really saying is that students will have to work about as hard as they would in the real world during school. If you're not willing to do that kind of work, than what did you plan to do once you got into the real world? Or are you part of the ELF simply because you're looking for a system that will let you coast through life, playing WoW and getting high? If you are, then the ELF system isn't going to work for you, but I'm positive you can find some politician willing to endorse your cause of ridiculous laziness.

For the rest of you, the problem with the school system isn't the workload. It's the sheer pointlessness of it all. Trust me when I say that when you care about what you're working on, there are days when you have to force yourself to stop working and get some sleep because it's 2 AM and it's beginning to impair your efficiency. There will also be days when you have to drag yourself through because you have deadlines, and it will probably feel a little bit like school feels right now, but that's life, and besides, there's one major difference. You won't be doing it for a piece of paper that says you have the right to be treated like a human being from here on out. You'll have that right already. Instead you'll be doing it because your ambitions depend on it, not your ambition to graduate high school and go to a good college just like everyone else, but your personal ambitions. The ones that make you unique from everyone else.

And also because you're hungry and need money.
