A school in Ulsan implemented a system where students with the highest grades (rank 1-20) are able to eat lunch ahead of their peers. This is just one of the numerous perks that students with high grades get, from priority dorms, priority study rooms, priority classes, etc... 151 reports have already been confirmed to be true.

1. [+344, -27] I never imagined there'd be a school that divides lunch time into school grades... why not go even further? Why not give the highest ranking students hotel feasts and the lower ranking students regular meals? What a bitter society..

2. [+271, -28] Come on, don't be like that with food. There are some kids who will just never be book smart no matter how hard they try.

3. [+246, -20] Don't teachers eat from the school cafeteria too? Why don't they divide the teachers while they're at it? Teachers with students who have high grades should be given priority ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+22, -5] The problem is that the school seems to think this is normal

5. [+19, -1] How can people be this mean with food ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ There are students who are smart in other ways than book smarts but they ignore that completely and put them down just like that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ they better give teachers the same treatment too

6. [+16, -1] The priority should be in teaching our students how to live in a society peacefully but pitting them in competition like this by lining them up according to grades only pushes them into stress and suicide. They have no idea how to function in a community once they graduate and are dried out of any human emotion. We've created a generation of intelligent people who don't know how to understand others and end up being extremely selfish in the end. ...

7. [+15, -1] Messing with food is the dirtiest thing you can do

8. [+13, -4] I can understand after school academies implementing something like this but not public schools... schools are supposed to teach more than just book smarts.
