Students of Saint Josephs Lochinvar, I call to you today. I call for you to rise up, and live out the true meaning of your creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all students should be taught equally.
We, the youth, the ones with ‘all that energy’, should be the guiders, not the guided, or should I say, misguided. We are being taught lessons that were relevant to our parent’s time. The world around us is constantly changing and improving, yet the quality of teaching remains the same as thirty years ago. Should we be taught to build a fire with flint and stone when they have invented matches?
Not only are these hypocrites teaching us the wrong lessons, they are teaching us the wrong lessons the wrong way. It has been proven over and over that forcing students to write overheads all day long is inefficient and ineffective. How many times have you just written down the words on an overhead, and totally zoned out while doing so?
We do not learn by this out-of-date method of ‘so called teaching’. It is their turn to be taught, and boy, will we make good teachers (crowd cheers).
So rise up with me today! We will not be freed from this unjust oppression unless we have the courage to embrace the change our ancestors didn’t!

Josiah
