Apparently, all citizens of all ages have the right to get free schooling and schoolbooks. We ASKED our school to give them back to the ministry to use them for other schools (since we don't take the ministry's curriculum in those subjects) but they said no. <_<
They're pretty informationless useless books unless you need them for school.
My class seems to be the "extra class". Extra unneeded desks of all shapes and sizes and colors are given to us, a bunch of extra carpets are rolled up in the corner, and at least a hundred unneeded schoolbooks are stacked up on random shelves. Yay.
