Education is reality television. Our parents stay at home while they send us to be confined in brick walls. They are the viewers of this program. Six-hundred different personalities fighting for a common goal. We all want the best mark. The principal is the host of this twisted television show. He herds us like sheep around this island. Our teachers give us the skills necessary to compete then send us out into the world to await our next challenge. Though we make friends along our journey, we can never truly trust anyone. The people who you think are your allies will stab you in the back for the prize. Each class presents a new challenge. If you don't make the grade you will get cut. Teachers assistants are the camera crew. They want to help us succeed but they can only do so much. Lunch time is the most feared challenge of all. You have to eat the most disgusting foods to stay in this world. Once you leave the school ground, you aren't coming back. Your peers will try to lead you into temptation. They want you to break the rules. If you get kicked off then there is one less competitor to worry about. Be cautious not to take bad advice. Expelled is just a fancy way of saying, "the next person voted out of the tribe is..." Don't get voted out. When you are facing temptation you can turn to the show's producer, the brains behind the operation. Your island's councilor will be happy to help you work through any troubles you are having. If you are the weakest link you will still leave with fond memories and valuable life lessons. If you are the Survivor you are granted a scholarship and sent onto the show's sequal.
