Under such a system, there are not so many outside pressures. Students who are not so motivated may study for ten years without ever having taken a single exam or having received a grade. The school will not kick them out, nor will the teachers get involved. As for the students, well, they're used to such things.
在這種制度下，許多沒有外在壓力、想悠悠哉哉念書，或自我鞭策不強的學生，可以念個十年，沒有考過試，也拿不到半張成績證明；而學校不會趕他走，老師不會干涉，同學更習以為常。
