It is our time to rise up!! We have been put behind those desk’s and virtually told to shutup one thousand red eminem’s too many and I’m sure you will all agree enough is enough!
We pay valuable money to sit there and learn insignificant information that has no use in our everyday lives. So the question is, what are they teaching us in return for the food on their table?... How to effectively strip a student of their self-worth; how to convince someone into doing something which in turn, is a disadvantage to them and how to waste enough time which allows you to check your facebook on your laptop, whilst there is a room full of people waiting on something constructive to do. Those are just a few examples from personal experience and if we all came together I’m sure we could reflect upon many more.
Now please enlighten me, how many times on the weekend do you get excited about going to the beach to chill with your friends, only to find that you have countless homework and 2 assignments that need to be finished? Well this my fellow students is the consequence of your teacher overhearing your plans and intentionally setting an incalculable load of work because you have a life and they don’t!
My fellow companions, the time has come to throw out the disgrace someone decided to call a teacher and learn something beneficial for a change. Join me in the overthrow of those retched beings and together we will conquer all!

Students, ,my friends, my fellow prisoners listen up. This schools motto is 'strength in difficulties', and we, the students have been enduring these 'difficulties' for the last 10 years. We have only gotten better, wiser, while the teachers, have moved in the opposite direction, becoming dependant on anything but themselves. Naturally assuming we would follow their retched, torturous commands will ultimately become their downfall. For the teachers do not know what to do when orders are refused on a mass scale. We outnumber them 10 to 1.
With vigor in our hearts and one gaol in our sights, they will remember us for this. Astonished and dazed they will run and hide at the sight of our iron fist of freedom. Breakdown and crie as we grab them by the tie and throw them down the up stairs while pouring their life giving coffee down their beautifully clean toilets. Tear down the COLA! Do not stop until every air conditioner, computer and overhead projector is burnt into a pitiful pile of ash.
Today is not a dark, forgetable day, no.
Yes it is the ending of the rotten disease that is teacher reign. It also the begining of a bright new day. One filled with hope, pride and a new begining, and that my friends you cannot learn out of any textbook. Students, my friends, my fellow prisoners, i urge you to hold your head high and make tho most of this glorious day and leave your mark on history, forever.

They condone bullying among students but they themselves are the bullies!
Tests, reports, letters home. Are these not more hurtful and wounding than a few insults slung at you from some pimply adolescent?
These people have been blackmailing you to do their countless, thousand word essays within one short, preoccupied week.
These people have punished you outrageously for minor incidents like looking at your phone or not being at the classroom the second that they commanded.
These are the brutal guards of this institution of supposed ‘Education’, enforcing pointless and degrading laws upon you.
These are the people who are deciding your fate based on nothing other than numbers and scores on a page.
These people wake you up at 7 in the morning and only dismiss you at 3, loaded with pointless and painful homework.
117000 days of your lives are being wasted by these cruel, monstrous beings! 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, 200 days a year, 13 years of your life! Wasted!
For too long we have sat in silence, obeying their orders, fearing for our futures! No more! Throw out your calculators, burn your textbooks, destroy your uniforms!
It is time to put an end to all these atrocities that we, and countless others, have endured at the hands of these monsters!
Their rule ends today!

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

We Are the Future!
My Fellow Classmates, we are the future!
Geeration Y is here to prove that it is game on, between you, me ... and those acclaiming to be our educators!
If they are so called 'educators'why is it that our academic abilities are being disregarded? These senile has-beens just want to lock away the talent of tomorrow and dispose of the key, never to see us successfully rise to being able to tackle life's obstacles.
Our arrogant teachers think they can manipulate us into abiding by a list of rules. I am sorry ... I am certain I don't see teachers tucking their shirts in, pulling THEIR hair back, or dying THEIR hair an appropriate colour? So exactly, how do they think this sets a good example for us, as students, to follow?
And no ... I DO NOT appreciate having to speak up and be made to give an answer in class ... yes that is right, I'd much rather talk to my friend on the left instead. In addition, no ... I will not happily be embarrassed to read the next two paragraphs of the novel, especially as I don't know where we are up to. Yes ... I may be texting in class ... to my mother ... but I have a dentist appointment! The health and wellbeing of my teeth means a hell of a lot more to me than you and your draining monotone voice constantly filling my ears. Stand up for your rights, stand up against teachers wasting our time, rise up to live the future you want to live today!
So here is the fascinating fact, their scribble of notes on the board really needs to improve, to escalate above the intellectual experience of graffitti I am recieving from the back of the chair in front of me.
Over the four years of education we recieve at high school, we are expected to have our knowledge broadened, but it is compressed due to their incapability of being able to control our genius minds working hard against them to build a better future.
NO MORE!
Times are changing my fellow classmates! We are the future and we do not have to stand the unjust educators.
So, I ask you, do we sit in silence or rise up?
Generation Y, We are here to prove that it is game on between you, me ... and those acclaiming to be our educators!

Stop! Put down that pen, close that textbook and listen to me! The time has come when we must join forces and put an end to this ongoing war we call school. For years we have battled against our enemy, the Teachers, and in that time they have slowly gained domination over us and we have let them! BUT now we are going to stop their fast moving train in its tracks.
They have constantly been inventing new weaponry to blast us with- essays, assignments, tests and homework, which, with every hit have made us more and more determined to seek revenge. Too much of our lives' is being wasted trying to get rid of these weapons which are destroying our precious youth. Our childhood is ticking away and all of our spare time is now spent focusing on what these so called 'Teachers' throw at us from every direction.
There is only one way we will overcome this outrageous war and that is to fight together and show our enemy what we're made of . No longer will we be pushovers, we will claim back our dignity, pride and our lives. It is time we stand up for our rights and finish this war, not only for ourselves but for everyone who has fought this battle before and failed. As a team we can and will win this and at last we will be FREE!

Persuasive Speech
Friends, bullies, alliances alike. We must take command and overthrow the figures of hate and education in our lives! Figures of hate you say? Who else, but the teachers? The ones who are paid to brainwash, threaten and, in every way, make our lives hell?
The devil wears prada, does he? Well our devils have chalk and overheads! Haven’t we been put through enough already? Haven’t our parents, and our grandparents, suffered the same way we have? Haven’t our ancestors, for generations,* been forced to endure the same ordeals as us?
Enough is enough! We must not let them threaten us any longer! Let’s all feed our homework to our dogs! We’ll suffer no more at the hands of these morons! Let’s ignore their ludicrous realms of non-monic quadratic trinomials and heterozygous geneotypes. The truth is, my friends, our lives will go on without this dribble!
No more good morning year tens! It’ll be goodnight to our teachers!
Casey
* I wasn't sure if 'ancestors, for generations' was tautology or not?
