So is this there "grading" system come to life to teach the kids to get as many stars as possible?

It's just a gentle reminder of how good life is when you meet your government-mandated POETV star quota.

Of course, we all know what happens to those who don't. (shudder)

No, I'm afraid that's most likely the red star, a symbol of Communism. Red stars for the red stars (waddaya mean they're orange?!).

I thought it was going to end with all the stars equally distributed among the kids, showing that they're all Comrades or whatever.

Trotskyist!

Each star represents one peer turned in for thought crimes.

Definitely check out the channel. "The agricultural workers are vigorously pushing ahead with preparations for this year's farming including production of organic fertilizer and its transportation to fields in order to increase the fertility of soil."

I'm not sure if that's DPRK news or DPRK song lyrics.

He also has a channel devoted to videos about Cuba, crazy fun times.

I would love to know what they're saying.

But I'm sure my ignorance is far less scary/depressing.

I'm guessing they're singing about how ritual suicide is favorable to displeasing the leadership of Kim Il Jong.

If you spent a bit of time watching north korean media you will find 3 common traits:

1-Farming: From kids cartoons to just about every single piece of news, event, song, movie and what not. Farming this, farming that. The NK system consists of being a self-sustainable country (a lot of international help seems to keep getting frozen by the state) so the people better farm the fuck out of the land.
2-EVERYTHING IS FINE OUR COUNTRY IS GREAT! WE ARE BIG AND STRONG! BE PROUD OF OUR GREATNESS AND HOW AWESOME WE ARE!
3-Kim Il Sung is god, he created heaven and earth, he created every single human being in the planet, every animal and flower. He could create gold out of nowhere, open the sea, crack mountains and toast his own bread with his laser eyes. He is immortal, and he will live in the hearts and minds of all our comrades. Kim Il Jong is the son of this god, so he must be another god!
