Ineffective Child Labor
Under the Declaration of Independence of The United States of America, all men are endowed to liberty, by that logic, under law, there must be liberty. But liberty is not defined by neglect, nor is it defined by swarms of hours spent “learning”, or even irrational essay writing. There are many things that define it, but these are none. As stated earlier, our teacher is knowledgably inflicting long-term harm on us through stress inducing labor. Who would do such a thing to children but a despotic, child-hating individual? This sadism has caused nothing but mentally strenuous struggle for all people of young age. (Look through this, paragraph, what wrongs have been inflicted upon you?)Every second spent typing, writing, and stressing over these words, will never be given back again. These hours of writing have been spent so wastefully, while other live a lifetime in moments much …show more content…
Legally, we are not adults; the tasks assigned are directly, or indirectly, effective child labor. The United States of America is governed by people, no cruel monarchs or oppressive dictators, but this is not always the case. In the very classrooms, students are being over-ruled by tyrants. If America is truly ran by people, how are we allowing this obstructed freedom in the singular foundation of education? Because of the inestimable grasp on power of one being, an entire group must be forced to write these very words. We, as students of this education system, declare freedom from the petty tyranny of all teachers, principals, homework, and essays; that all these teachers may be forbidden to enforce any manual or demanding labor upon any student for any reason. We decree this independence as a basic, unalienable right, that students may be absolved from such oppression. We conclude this solemn statement in honor, to provide freedom, and somber peace to

    It is clear that changes in society, whether they are political or economical, always make a difference in the way education is viewed and taught. Chapter 6 talks about how the goals of education are linked to the questions of who controls American education and who decides what knowledge is of most value to teach to students. The first sections talks about should knowledge being taught be left up to federal government, state government, local school boards or parents. It all comes down to control. We exercise control over public schools in many ways like voting representatives to the local school boards and the parents having the power to select the school their children go to.…

    This article was written to remind students and teachers of the past historical events which served to shape current American education trends, standards, policies, and norms. In writing this piece, I hope to highlight a pivotal point in American education history when the right to think and question and status quo was threatened. I carefully contemplated my audience and wrote my paper for this particular demographic of the population. I knew that my audience was educated and had at least a nominal understanding of the Scopes Monkey Trial. I assumed that most people had read or watched Inherit the Wind sometime in their life and were privy to the basic tenants of the court case; therefore, I did not go into detail explaining the specifics of the court trial. Instead, I used my page space to highlight just how important the verdict was and the specific rights which were at stake. The paper topic was chosen in response to Chapter Four: Making History. I firmly believe that the Scopes Trial is one of the most significant events in American education history and was motivated to explore it in more thorough detail.…

    When in the course of class history, it becomes necessary for the students to cut off ties with the school. We hold the truth to be self-evident that all students are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator by unalienable rights, that among them are the pursuit of good grades, fairness, and happiness. Students allow themselves to be ruled by the teachers in order to protect their rights. The office is created to protect these rights instead of taking them away from the students. When the rights are being taken away from the students, we have the right to break away and form a new government. The tyrant of Room 25 have broken the social contract by making unfair rules, stopping us from learning, and rushing the due date for homework. The tyrant of Room 25 is corrupt and too strict. His rules are evil and his actions cause many if not all to suffer. He is horrible at grading and is and bad at teaching. His ways of teaching are making us dumb and stupid instead of gaining knowledge. We, the…

    When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for students to break off with their parents and teachers and to become independent; they must explain why they deserve to be independent to the rest of the world. This requires us, as students to write our own Declaration of Independence for the rest of the world to see and comprehend why we should be and will be independent to show our oppression against our teachers.…

    "Rights talk seeps into spheres of American society where a sense of personal responsibility and of civic obligation traditionally have been nourished. An intemperate rhetoric of personal liberty in this way corrodes the social foundations on which individual freedom and security ultimately rest." Because I agree with this quote, I firmly resolve the resolution that establishing a safe educational environment for grades K-12 justifies the infringement of civil liberties.…

    A complex social and political issue that has enrooted employment history for a long period of time; child labor is evolving into a new phenomenon that is having negative impacts on children all throughout the globe. Children involved with child labor can have several different paths to their occupation which can be determined by factors such as poverty, family’s economic status, history, health, and many others.

    In the system of education, there is a fear of freedom, where the educators are afraid to challenge the curriculum of those in higher authority in the fear of losing their careers; they teach what they are told to teach their students. Some educators want to challenge the system but if the majority do not act along with them, how can they challenge and change the ways of teaching. They have to follow the instructions of the administrators. Any act that is of their own can jeopardize their career. Freire also talks about the Fear of Freedom (46). He states that because there is no…

    We hold these truths to be obvious, that all students are created equal and are given by their Creator the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of whatever makes them happy. To obtain these rights, parents and teachers should enable students to do as they wish. However, when parents and teachers begin a long train of mistreatment against students that shows they only want to control every aspect of their lives, it is the duty and right of students to get rid of the control their parents and teachers have over them and establish their independence.…
