Revolution...

Now we've all learned about revolution and rebellion in our history classes, I mean who can forget our beloved American Revolution when the Americans kicked some British butts with farmers and pitchforks. Of course we can't forget about the famous French Revolution, need we be reminded of the untimely end of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and the lovely invention of the guillotine. Granted, the French people were dirty, smelly, and starving, but nevertheless they were unhappy. Hasn't history taught us that if people are unhappy, they will rebel?

Now teenages love their friends, I mean friends rank pretty high up there with procrastination, junk food, guys/girls and stalking every moment of Orlando Bloom's acting career or Angelina Jolie's belly bump. Now what happens if you deprive the average teenage the occasional conversation shouted across the traffic of the hall, that's right, you get the temporary spiral into insanity. With insanity, that comes crazy thoughts and restlessness, I mean being insane isn't easy, you have all that chaos going on in your mind which eventually leads to scheming. Now honestly can we blame these poor innocent students for their rebellious mood. I now continue with a story of the Hallway Nazis which now leads me to...

Incident 1:
Everyone of course being unhappy with Hallway Nazis and their incessent checking of hallway passes or even *gasp* the unspeakable whistle... Honestly, the detentions have become a big joke among students and teachers alike. 200 students with detentions within a spread of 3 days and a tally sheet for the teachers of who has given out the most detentions. What has our school come to? But I digress, for a couple of weeks now, there isn't a single student in the school that hasn't heard about the "sit in" or scheme for Friday morning. The scheme was to round up as many students as possible and as a group walk in 5 minutes late through the wall to wall blockage of the hall. Now from what I heard the hall was filled with 50 students or so, and as the teachers come ready with their detention slips handy and pens, pandemonium ensues. From what I hear the mob decided to just scatter thinking the teachers couldn't possibly catch them all...Boy were they RIGHT! Now after this sccaternessosity students ran through the cafeteria doors attempting to outrun the hallway nazis...some of them made it and unfortunately....some of them didn't. I remember when I came into English that morning, a third of our class was missing, however Megan Westbrook came in completely out of breath to tell us this story. She wasn't part of the rebellion, however...she was legitmately late, or to use Duck's coined term a "lateler".


I mean what could possibly be done about this situation? Can are hallways be free from the hallway nazis, should "latelers" be prosecuted? Have we learned nothing from our history classes? Isn't this evident that rebellion means there's a flaw in the system? Hmm...I wonder how many rhetorical questions I can continue with this...but I digress. Detention slips are no longer seen as a worrisome thing, but now a joke, and if not a prideful example of one rebelling against the system, or if anything a class joke. Can we move past this...? Would the administration ever see the error of its ways? Tune in later to find out...
