Compulsory courses (Marxism, Russian) help to keep a student in school as long as 13 hours a day. Homework is often an evening spent proselytizing citizens about Marxism. "Vacation" is an assignment in the coal mines or harvesting crops. While prune-faced female lecturers drone on about the miracles of collectivization, the student "sport" society dutifully digs foxholes and practices with carbines. As paid employees of the state, students have little trouble passing as long as they remain politically reliable. The school...
