"High school, it seems, has changed. It has become competitive. Young men and women — 13 to 18 years old — must work more or less tirelessly to ensure their spot at a college deemed worthy to them and their families. So rather than living their adolescent lives — lives brimming with desires and vitality, with vim, vigor, and brewing lust — these kids are working at old age homes, cramming for tests, popping Adderall just to make the literal and proverbial grade. And for what? So they can go to a school that puts them in debt for the rest of their lives. School has become a great vehicle of capitalism: it quashes the revolution implicit in adolescence while simultaneously fomenting perpetual indebtedness."

Stumbled across this thanks to TGN. Korean Students Speak is for those young Korean voices restrained by limits in free expression.
A very inspiring cause. Please check it out!
Head pounding. There are no conflicting perspectives for how screwed I am tomorrow. There is only monopoly of the truth
