I've been thinking how is it that this bunch of morons made it to the top brass of Future Foundation, when it hit me: chances are everyone in FF are stupid jerks.

When Chisa first arrived in the DR2 class, she learns classes are not mandatory, and students are encouraged to just spend all day pursuing their own interests until exam day. Well, that's the recipe to create anti-social people. You spend 3 years locked in a lab, doing the same thing over and over, and when you get out, you'll be incapable of socializing, or solving any problems not related to your specific skill. So Boxer only knows how to punch people. Baker only knows how to make sweets. And so on.

This is ironic because in real life, everyone is talking about how kids need to learn soft skills: creativity, teamwork, leadership, emotional intelligence. Because if you only know the technical stuff, a computer will replace you. HPA would be considered a bad examplein real life, maybe. It does tackle the problem many schools have about being too standardized and having too long class hours, but it goes too much in the opposite direction. In Danganronpa's world, everyone is obssessed about individual talent, to the point they let that talent end the world.
