Militaristic Obligations

There may be worse plagues through out mankind’s history than the epidemic of the rich kid. The handful of those worse incidents includes the waves of death and destruction in the form of plagues, disease outbreaks, and wars, that engulf the world and plunge entire nations and continents into chaos. And yet they only compare to the humiliation descended upon us by the consistent belligerent lack of compression of the pampered and spoiled group of wealthy younger people. Caged within the school systems their remarks often consist complaints such as “this sucks,” “I hate this,” and “I don’t want to do that.” The unimaginable suffering and deprivation of being  forced out of the comfort and leisure of their own homes, and into the real world, descends on the usually pampered group of students. There are no basement theatres or luxury pool tables to waste the time away, only the wobbly foose ball table with about two missing players. They are forced into a militaristic routine of having classes in blocks and having only small periods in between classes. To acknowledge their lesser ranks in this system they must refer to the teachers and staff as Mr. or Mrs, something completely outside the realm of normal comprehension. While they are permitted lunch once a day during their six and a half hour tenure, and usually spent driving their parents cars to wherever they desire, they are however forced back for one last block before the day is out. This privilege is sometimes suspended however, as some students may be required to catch up on missing work, or complete unfinished assignments. Their education is also enforced as if they can not just depend on their parents for the rest of their lives. They are forcibly required to complete several dull and useless math and social study courses through their stay in the public education system, in order to graduate. Because playing x-box and living with their parents isn't considered a respectable future, they are forced to take courses and plan a post secondary education. Duty, obligation and sacrifice, are the words that echo down the ranks of our public education system. In these prison like camps our younger generations of society are being forcibly contained and made to complete something other than a video game with their time.
