Like if you were in Class D and you got a an averaged grade on a midterm/final above a 50, for every point you got after that you would get 100 private points, resulting in 5,000 points for a score of a hundred. Like this obviously isn't a lot but it does add a motivating factor for those in the lower classes to aim for higher grades even if they've been knocked out of the class race. It also provides them a bit of money to level the playing field even slightly.

And it would be scaled, so Class A wouldn't get this at all, Class B would only get 25%, Class C would get 50%, and Class D would get the full 100%

since I finished a 100 page sketchbook (that i ripped around 2 pages out of), here's the page count for major characters who i draw throughout

Tsukishiro: 80

Shiba: 19

Naomi: 17

Shirogane: 10

Nanase: 7

Mostly copy pasting my rant from a discord server but this school is systematically designed to keep kids oppressed while uplifting those who do not need the help. ANHS is a stupid ass school that perpetuates class divides and actively discourages those at the bottom to attempt improving themselves because they have been deemed as defective to begin with despite likely gaining those defects from adverse childhood experiences outside of their control.

ANHS essentially replicates class divides in the real world to an even more extreme degree, with most of the individuals in the bottom two classes coming from middle class or low income families while those in Class A and B are the ones who were already doing well. The bottom classes are shown to have never stood a chance in the past, I'm pretty sure with horikita's Class D being the first to even RAISE THEIR CLASS PAST D. That does not demonstrate equal opportunity, and instead it traps these students into a cycle of stress that is (for the most part) not their making. Why are so many benefits given to Class A which likely already had many of the resources to shoot for the schools they were aiming for by guaranteed admission? This isn't a meritocracy, it's a caste system (zaq's intro for season 1 is literally fucking called caste room). Everything at the school is determined from the class that you are a part of, and even if you want to improve yourself personally and attempt to rise the ranks, you can't because if your classmates aren't board then you can't do anything.

I find it absolutely ridiculous that the school claims to be preparing them for the real world by not lessening the divides between these people and instead strengthening them even further. Yeah I guess sure, you're replicating oppressive societal systems which exist in the real world, BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD NOT BE REPLICATING THEM??? The whole point of the policy is to improve education!!!

It's also so insanely dependent on the randomized people which exist in each class (each caste). Imagine a Class D without a clear leader. Imagine Class C without a clear leader. We saw it and they were useless. The chances of those two classes having someone willing to take a leadership position is probably a little higher just because of who they choose to admit, but remove one student and a lot of the dreams of those classes will come crashing down. There is not the opportunity for classes to succeed except in strange conditions such is the case with Ayanokoji's year. And then sometimes they add students like Hosen and Koenji who continuously bring everyone down. You can't escape that situation, there's nowhere to go.

Honestly, even the White Room does a better job at creating equality than this. Like yeah the White Room is abusive but there's genuinely more potential for equality in there than there is at ANHS because at least they don't have castes!!! The problem with the White Room is that it doesn't make any attempt to help those that fall behind and assumes that everyone exists on the same level. But at least you can sort of understand the logic that everyone has to fight individually for themselves

In ANHS, there's no pull yourself up by your bootstraps if the system itself is against you. And the label of "defective" makes it even worse! The poor self esteem of those students, they're not going to want to work hard because they'll think there's no point in trying. Obviously there are assholes in the group, like no one likes Yamauchi and he wasn't going to try to get better.

BUT IMAGINE SUDOU WITHOUT THE PRECISE CONDITIONS OF CLASS D

He would have been expelled and all of his potential would have been wasted because the system is not designed to help people.

I had to custom add Tsukishiro. Then I tried to custom add Shiba AND THEY TOLD ME HE ALREADY EXISTED BRUH WHAT THE FUCK

Like yes he clearly smiles a lot but I also love his light hearted exasperation...

I will clean my entire room I will finish all my WIP fanfics I will get a job I will open commissions I will apply for scholarships I will

i will also probably give a 10% discount if you intend to use it for a fanfiction but i need proof
