They crafted a five-metre-square (54 sq ft) den in an out-of-the-way corner of rural Znamensky District, using materials they'd scavenged, Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper reports. "They installed a stove and wallpapered the walls," it reports with some admiration for the truants' "spirit of initiative". The police were less impressed with how the youngsters spent their spare time in the snowbound shack. "They drank hard liquor, smoked tobacco, and indulged in gambling," regional prosecutors complained on their official site. As if that weren't enough, just two of the underage regulars at the unlicensed bar racked up 100 hours of bunking off lessons between them.[/QUOTE] :russia:
Now the STALKER bandit radio theme is just blasting in my head.
It's that or just one of the random bars in the metro series.
100 hours of skiving off lessons, if only they were more dedicated with their actual schoolwork.

[QUOTE=bitches;52032180]you're only young once, and that's your only time to get an education[/QUOTE]Not necessarily
[QUOTE=Killer900;52034435]Not necessarily[/QUOTE] Things like behaviours you learn as a child or teen are generally speaking formative and foundational
[QUOTE=Killer900;52034435]Not necessarily[/QUOTE] for [I]most[/I] people it certainly is the case you're talking about those who have the self-discipline to pursue a higher end of education out of school, which is most definitely rarer and not the norm

[QUOTE=bitches;52032180]you're only young once, and that's your only time to get an education[/QUOTE] given opportunities in some parts of the federation (especially in the more rural areas where a lot of industries collapsed and there are hundreds upon hundreds of towns with sky high unemployment) I wouldn't be so sure about that being much of a help to these students (especially given how poor Russian education can be)

Its frequently how many get their start in organized crime. A life of free-wheeling does not predispose one well to a life where an 8-10hr, 5 days a week job is the norm. Yes now you get it, school wasn't just about basic education but more about [I]training[/I]
