Declaration of Educational Independence
First off, let me start by saying this- I feel my rights are violated and disrespected by UPrep Academy.What rights are these, you ask? Firstly, the right to not be expected to know more than we initially show we do. Secondly, the right to not be intimidated by our administration. Finally, the right to not be treated as if we’re some type of corrupted and misguided youth- so much so that a plethora of groups and extra-curricular clubs is required as a means of eradicating this”issue”. Allow elaboration to make itself- if not abundant- at the very least NOTICEABLE in the following paragraphs as to: a further definition and description of my alleged …show more content…
red of imagination and individuality left, we feel that using words that make even the most loosely related members of the general populace appear to be involuntary members of a movement they know little to nothing about, and frankly don’t care for seem involved with us will lead to a more perfect unity with no purpose that’s clear and discernable) , are blissfully unaware of our own faults in that, …show more content…
Secondarily, I’d like to mention that the previous paragraph was a supporting point in the form of a loquacious rant about the condition of today’s young folk who I, might I state, am blessed and cursed to be a part of- with the former being of a higher scarcity than the latter. In school, there are certain expectations that need to be met in order to succeed, and us as a generation are NOT the happiest and most ready to follow them. These expectations defy the realm of humanity and delve into the realm of trying to make perfect robots out of students, to the point where principals and deans are “strategically avoided” for safety purposes. What safety, you ask? Well, that brings me to the first right disrespected by UPrep- the right to be respected as individuals and not a collective group whose actions are viewed as negative and trend-obsessed. Despite the fact that this is true, should someone be under the illusion that they are enemies with you, anyone who’s watched enough cartoons knows that saying “It’s me, your friend!” never works unless the illusion is temporary. You shatter a weak and negative illusion with a significantly more powerful and definitely more positive illusion that will leave them confused and on the path back to reality. Thus, when the good children of a group of predominately bad people get included in a mass exodus of morale and happiness, it just shows how unable- or at least unwanting- the older, supposedly more mature generation
