Chapter 8 - Chapter 6: Elite Class and Regular Class

The differences between the Elite Class and the Regular Class:

**Elite Class: A meticulously designed breeding ground for "future rulers"**

* **Learning Freedom:** Personal tablets, access to an internal network, "individualized" assessment projects under the guise of "tailored teaching"—each student's learning data, browsing history, and even entertainment preferences are collected in the background, becoming part of their "comprehensive evaluation."

* **Holidays and Leisure:** Weekends off with free activity, but this also serves as an extended testing ground for assessing social skills and loyalty.

* **The Core of Field Trips:**

 * **Purpose-Driven Tours:** Not casual outings. Visits to city halls, courts, banks—demonstrating the arenas where power and order operate; tours of high-tech factories, logistics centers—understanding efficiency, discipline, and industrial chains; trips to model farms, agricultural research stations—encountering "nature under scientific management." Field trips also require a review of each student's learning report.

 * **University Tour:** A key component. Visits to laboratories, libraries, innovation centers, interactions with "outstanding university student volunteers." The message conveyed: "As long as you remain within the system and perform excellently, this is the future within your reach." This plants the seeds of desire for and dependence on the system's internal promotion path.

 * **Sense of Ritual:** Uniform attire (more respectable jackets than the standard institution wear), travel by dedicated vehicles, commemorative photos. Upon return, a "sharing session" is held to reinforce a sense of superiority and mission.

**Regular Class: A warehouse of "human batteries" for maintaining basic operations**

* **Cramming-Style Education:** Highly repetitive curriculum content emphasizing obedience, punctuality, manual skills, and labor capabilities.

* **Radio Time:** A fixed daily "educational broadcast," its content carefully curated—inspirational stories, historical snippets, light music. This is their only one-way connection to the "outside world."

* **Life Without Rest:** Schedules are precise to the minute, from wake-up to lights-out, filled with classes, collective labor (cleaning, laundry, kitchen help), handicrafts, and military-style drills.
