I think that the Education simmulated in Torn does not "capture" the real world education well enough. In the real life when you get a bad mark on a test but its all good because as long as you get a good mark on the next test everything will be fine but then you get a bad mark on the next test but everythingll be fine because as long as if you get a ninety percent or higher on the next test youll still be able to get a decent grade in the course that youre taking but then you get way less than ninety on that test so you begin to procrastinate and panic but then you remember that if you score like really, really high on the next test your grade will still be in acceptable range but then that never even comes close to happening so you begin to really freak out because your parents are literally going to whip the **** out of you if your grades are shit but then you remember you still have a chance at salvaging your grade if you get good on the next test but instead of even coming close to a good mark or even a pass you fail miserably so you hope that youll do well on your homework related projects because theyre still worth quite a bit of your overall grade but then you forget about and totally bomb the **** out of it so them you try copying off your friend but you run out of time so you copy word for word but then your teacher finds out about what you did so get zero on a project thats worth around forty five percent of your grade and get sent down to the principals office and then get scolded and so you try to remedy all of your problems by actually trying on the homework and stuff but then you have no idea what youre doing the entire time so you bomb the test again and start panicking but then you remember that as long as you get full marks on the next test your grade will stay at a stable C+ at sixty eight and half percent but then you dont even come close to full marks so you drop around to fifty percent but youll at least pass if you do good on the next test but then you flop harder than a fish thats been dragged out of the water and your grades drop to a low thirty eight percent but you remember that as long as you get a good mark on the next test your grade will get to around forty five percent which will allow you to repeat the course in summer school but then you do the exact opposite and get twenty eight percent in the course and since finals is around the corner you begin to study for the test but then begin to procrastinate and then spend all your time reading useless articles on things that dont matter at all in the world so when the exam actually comes along you have no idea what is going on and totally bomb it and then fail the course at fifteen percent and your parents asks you to show them your report card and they see the low grade and then whip the **** out of you with the metal ass-whipping chopsticks and it hurts so much that you just want to die so you find a suitable spot and hang yourself with a Neotech Universal saxophone neck-strap, all because you failed a shit-tonne of courses and your entire life is a disappointment.

My brain cells died so yours wouldn't have to.

Here's a translation:

Torn education isn't like real life education. You don't take tests or quizzes here.
It's also not like it because if you fail in Torn, no one lectures you, punishes you or hits you like your parents would.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to have a glass of wine or three.
