Summary if some article I read randomly in the net (which I forgot what the site is)
Once there was a school in a rural area of an African village with house system. Pretty much like Howarts in Harry Potter's universe, where the students were to be divided into different house.
In this school of X, originally there was just very few student, and there was no such house system initially. But due to some reason, it has no choice but to welcome transfer from other schools. From then on, in order to facilitate the order, they created and implemented this house system.
The original students were grouped in House O, while the first batch of transfers which made up the majority number of student at the end of the day, House of P. The second and third batch, that arrived only a few days later, were respectively grouped in the House of C and House of D.
At this moment, some strange things happen, House of P claimed that they were the original student of School X and demanded to be respected and given priority in almost every thing. House of O, with their usual low profile attitude, does not made any protest, mainly because there were to few of them. House of C and D, however was mislead by the lie of P. Worse, House of P branded the other houses to be nothing but transfer and lodgers. They should have no right in the school.
Despite of their vast numbers, student of House P were mostly idiot with strong inferiority complex. Eventually, due to some dirty tricks, their parent got hold of the PTA, and gained control in the school administration. Thus, their demand of getting priority were made into school policy. And this is the beginning of the whole dirty business of satisfying the egomaniac attitude.
House of P do badly in education, so the school let them have a lower passing grade. The grade was low that even an ape can't get that low after purposely trying to answer 80% question wrong. They were also bad in sport, so in a ball game, they were always be given 10 points to start with, and in any racing even, they will get a head start 10% of the total distance.
Still, they still manage to do badly and lost to school of C. But the tragedy was, House or O and D were greatly suffered from this inequality.
As time goes by, some talented people starting to appear in House of P, but most of them detest the current system of priority of this so call "original house". They were embarrassed, ashamed and do not understand why can't they be let to competed equally, one on one, like man with balls, with other school.
But when these minority of talent people from House of P, or any people from other house questions the current status quo, there were shut up. Some even missing mysteriously. Rumors has it that they were force to transfer to other school or being tortured and brain washed.
Of course, educators from other schools did voiced their concerns about this system, but in return for their good will comment was harsh threat from School of X's administration accusing they trying to interfere other school's system.
And so, despite the critics from the outside, and the objection from the inside, the admin forces of School of X still keep on with this inequality, fascist and unfair system. Being human, nothing is more sadder than witnessing one particular group of human being this dirty just because they are impotent and afraid others know it. What worse is, they try to cover it with a poorly constructed idiotic plan.
So what will happen to this school? What is the future of it? How is it going to end? Don't know.
One can only hope...
