Part two

"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils." ((Louis) Hector Berlioz), this ties in the theme of oppression in Education in that Time may be the greatest teacher ever but yet the does not help in the feeling of oppression that in the school system. This is due to that fact that those teachers want you to learn that subject in the time allowed by the school board, about nine months or so. This causes many problems for those who struggle near the beginning of the class in that either the teacher will keep moving ahead with you staying behind the entire year or the whole class being held back until that one student begins to comprehend the basic principles of what is happening. However the opposite is true should the student fail in the last month and a half or so in that by that time if a student begins to no longer comprehend the work the teacher would either figure that it is no longer their problem (with the testing to receive funding usually completed at this time) or that student would use all the collected knowledge needed to simply fake his or her way through it. The oppressive nature of the time line of Education is one that was created with the preconceived thought that all the students would actually utilize time out of class to teach themselves if they do not understand a certain subject. While this thought is a good one and one that enviably becomes a necessity in the higher levels of education (freshmen year of high school and beyond) it is thought of as a waste of time in the eyes of the lower levels of education (eighth grade and below) with the lower the grade level the less time one will find a student actively studying unless being told/forced to by a parent.
Rossivel Reid, a tour guide and geological engineering sophomore, said she thinks the event is amazing because it shows what it is like to be oppressed. "It is very emotional and intense," Reid said. "Last year I was with my girlfriend and the actors got to her really bad. We had to skip rooms."
