Is Battle School a Fake?

In Chapter 8, Dink reveals his idea to Ender about a conspiracy in Battle School. Dink tells Ender that there is really no buggers and that the I.F. only pretend there are buggers to stay in power. He is saying that the Battle School teachers are "just screwing around" with the kids there. Dink claims that the buggers are gone forever. He is appalled Ender still believes that he is there to save the world. Ender does not fully believe this theory because he knows lies don't last long in America. Therefore, Ender keeps a seed of doubt against Dink's theory. I do not think Dink is correct. One thing that he said to convince Ender that there was a conspiracy is, "If the buggers were coming back to get us they'd be here." (110). Although this may be true, the buggers might be biding their time and preparing a larger army. Also, Ender is a brilliant child and I feel that he is right in having a little bit of doubt in the back of his head. Throughout the book Ender will, most likely, closely observe everything happening at Battle School and try to figure out the truth. I think he will eventually succeed.
