The classroom of the future!

We don't have nearly enough technology devoted to abusing children.

Not-Impressed · 11 months

I wonder what the kid on the right did? He must have fucked up pretty bad. Look at that dead smile.

salade · 11 months

In the future, numbers are bigger.

cosmopolous · 11 months

No Child left without a blow to the head.

I find it kind of amusing that while the classroom seems bent on cold conformity, that the artist still saw fit to have the kids dressed randomly, rather than wearing uniforms as would have been the case in any Japanese school in the sixties (and most of them now).

The use of furigana (the little phonetic characters above each kanji) is also kind of funny, because that generally means this was intended for kids to read about. "See, Shota? You had better behave... because someday the paddle-bots will beat you senseless."

Sleep easy knowing that your children are getting the best care in their education that money can buy! Watch as Timmy is beaten to death in front of his classmates by an analog radio for daring to type 78000 in the monitor as a half ass attempt to spell "BOOBS" from his constant brain damage. Marvel in the electronic screen used to broadcast the children's teacher who has apparently traded in her spine for a tasteless yellow number she currently wears to appear professional in the workplace! As John is demonstrating in the second row right seat, enough beatings will result in the sick desire for more punishment, as if a sweet release from the Hell that is his life! And if all fails in bringing your children the most possible in the form of education, the classroom comes equipped with a lobotomized child in the right corner who has only been taught destruction and horror as he gazes upon his next kill! Also, one kid is apparently Clark Kent or something.

If only reddit had a discipline bot button instead of a downvote.

Floppyboobsack · 11 months

Um, what's going on in the far right side? He looks pretty happy about that robot hug...

bobcat_08 · 11 months

Seems like the discipline bots are more distracting than helpful...I only noticed 2 or 3 kids doing their work.

shii · 11 months

This isn't a classroom, it's some pedo BDSM fantasy.

DaTroof · 11 months

There's way too many discipline bots in that room... just saying.

kingkong21 · 11 months

Apparently in the future we're all white with a bowl cut

Rathwynn · 11 months

Wrong answer! That's a paddlin'.

[deleted] · 11 months

In the future everyone is a lesbian asian midget.

happybadger · 11 months

Fuck yeah, let's beat kids. That's going to teach them to love maths.

macmac13 · 11 months

This actually a pretty decent prediction. Take another look.

Mr_Blister50 · 11 months

Did anyone else notice the nondescript camera in the upper left corner? There's someone sitting in a room somewhere, pressing that discipline button over and over...

dundreggen · 11 months

Where are the girls?

greedyiguana · 11 months

THIS. This is the face of pure terror

angrytortilla · 11 months

Looks exactly like the classroom at the beginning of Fallout 3.

eoliveri · 11 months

Robotic nuns!

dgbosley · 11 months

Anyone else notice all of the children are white and it's in Japanese or Chinese?

The_Director · 11 months

Electroshocks from the seat/desk would be easier.

allhailskippy · 11 months

Why does the kid on the bottom right have a circle on his screen?

Clearly the number in the hundreds column is an 8, and therefore the incorrect answer.

cajunbander · 11 months

The more I look at it, the more I laugh at it.

persianprez · 11 months

close enough

tg989 · 11 months

This is almost like my workplace, except the machines that do the beating here look automated and non-biased.

[deleted] · 11 months

Why's it all in French?

suspiciously_calm · 11 months

Instant slam for fail. Epic.

pretzelzetzel · 11 months

Did anyone else notice that everything is written in Chinese, but that the teacher and students are unmistakably Caucasian? A chilling vision of the future, indeed.

Radico87 · 11 months

If kids got disciplined they wouldn't be such little shits.

EnysAtSea · 11 months

So when they get the wrong answer they get bludgeoned with a ball on a pole.

That's futuristic.

darthluke · 11 months

When people finally realize the benefits of letting computers do COMPUTATIONS (only after you understand how to do the computations and what they mean by hand), then we can advance to the next level of education. Hundreds of years ago, you couldn't ask complicated word problems like we do now. Hundreds of years from now, we'll be able to ask more abstract, theoretical questions.

fasullow · 11 months

Red balls of discipline look a little strange...

redweasel · 11 months

Puts me in mind of an essay I wrote in school around the fifth or sixth grade (age 10 or 11 for those not in the USA). It was about "schools of the future," and I played it for humor. I still have it, somewhere in my files, almost forty years later, but of course can't lay hand to it just now when I need it! Anyway, what I remember most clearly is this bit: (something about students waiting in a queue before a vending machine) "A collective groan of anguish arose as the red 'sold out' light came on in one all-important column: too many students had been sitting too long in front of too many computer terminals--and now they'd run out of Preparation H." (Preparation H being, at the time, if it isn't still, a well-known hemorrhoid cream.)

There was also a bit about the lunchroom: "Chunks of meat torn seconds before from the haunches of screaming [...]s shot past the business end of a flamethrower to land, still quivering, on a student's lunch tray."

Damaband41 · 11 months

So in the future they'll finally have the fing-longer?

Cheezykins · 11 months

Not enough tentacles for a Japanese school.

zetrate · 11 months

idiots can't solve basic math problems with a computer right in front of them

Zinxhetan · 11 months

Where do i sign up?!

monkeyvselephant · 11 months

So in the future, we apparently follow Dr. Venkman's teaching techniques.

ptbus0 · 11 months

I mean, it would probably work in most cases if we did it.

newnetmp3 · 11 months

Looks a lot like Khan Academy to me. I'd say they are right.

Jamesfitzgerald17 · 11 months

I love old pictures that depict the future

sdn · 11 months

Oh hey, it's mastering physics.

elmarko44 · 11 months

im still trying to solve the math problem on the board. what?

ioillusion · 11 months

In another reality, I could have a job building robots specifically designed to beat children.

dE3L · 11 months

the head whackers look like the reddit alien's antenna.

vapros · 11 months

Anybody see pedobot on the right?

Jogje · 11 months

Thank God! Argyle is still in!

Living2die · 11 months

Oh god my sides hurt from laughing too much. Reddit! Y U SO FUNNY LATE IN THE NIGHT?

silent_soliloquy · 11 months

School? It's just a Japanese game show.

girigiri · 11 months

Isn't this just a classroom in North Korea?

kiljaedon01 · 11 months

What in the HELL is the robot at the far right doing to that poor, poor child?

kimopoly · 11 months

The classroom of! North Korea

bagacrap · 11 months

what's happening to the kid in the front corner

mmmdontchaknow · 11 months

30 years later.. still using same teaching techniques.

kokyu5 · 11 months

Coercion as cure...

teejaygreen · 11 months

What's the source on this?

dirtymoney · 11 months

Robots that beat you & molest you.

You sure this isnt the catholic school of the future?

ImHereForPictures · 11 months

It's ironic that to punish you for not learning they beat you on the head, which can damage your brain and prevent you from learning.

FrostByt · 11 months

Punishment robots!

Pirate_D00D · 11 months

This looks more like the room was just suddenly invaded with antagonistic robots being complete assholes and interrupting the class.

NeoScout · 11 months

lol @ the robots

Oathdynasty · 11 months

I saw this at a little convention I went to. It was on a big projector :D

[deleted] · 11 months

Oh how I wish I had invented the fin-longer.

bandar11 · 11 months

That kid deserves to be beaten. When did 6+1.5 become a hard math problem?

gliscameria · 11 months

It they gave kids a live scoreboard and an achievement system like xbox live I bet we'd have a lot less idiots.. or a lot more violence.

bigroblee · 11 months

I immediately thought "Ow! Quit it!".

fon1138 · 11 months

I couldn't help imagining a naughty teacher that would trigger these arms on purpose...

homerjaythompson · 11 months

Those kids are way too happy and engaged. The real classroom of the future [present] has them drugged and watching advertisements while the bored teacher lectures from a book brought to the classroom by Monsanto.

vhs · 11 months

That there is a keeper.
