Numbering our society

School education always has and always will be an issue in America. It is rather hard (or impossible) to impose a perfect school system without faults. In the process of trying to make the US’s school’s perfect, we tend to make many mistakes. You see, perfection sometimes lead’s to imperfection. Why? Because we over-think unimportant factors. For example: Our newly imposed policies in school education, particularly policy five which states that students are not allowed to discuss or criticize these new policies in any way, shape, or form.

Our current government bases all judgment, and all of America, on tests. You see them everywhere. Our test scores seem to define who we are instead of our creativity, personality, or talents. We are who we score. This is a false and ignorant statement. We all know that people aren’t a set of numbers and letters. Each and every one of us is unique and different in one way or another. But again, our society is made into a series of letters, and numbers.

As you should be noticing, our government bases everything on their own past experiences. In other words they think that everything in time is set in stone, they believe that there is a set cause and effect for everything. This state of thinking makes them believe that doing the opposite of some of the bad “effects” will change it back to the cause. This again isn’t always a true statement. Our society’s numbers and letters are what define the system, which is why this new policy has been imposed. They are trying to make the effect into the cause, but in this case, it is actually causing their perfections to become imperfections.

The government generally thinks about the numbers in whole and not each individual number which seems to make up America. Why, Shall I ask again? Because it is easier to look at everyone in whole and jump to conclusions then to ask individual people for their input. Maybe if we did ask people for their input, then maybe our system would be a little better most of us, and not just some of us. Our government is trying to take away a bit of power which rightfully belongs to the citizens of America and not the white house. We shouldn’t be afraid of our government, our government should be afraid of their people. They are imposing rules which give away our power bit by bit. Let me show you what these powers are.

These policies are not going to stand up in the face of a free country such as ours. In fact, I think that these policies will grovel at the mere sight of free-America. When the government imposes rules which take away our power, the whole population begins to open their eyes to how dirty our government runs. You see, politics have nothing to do with opinion. It mostly has to do with the politicians who are running. They can say whatever they want to get elected. They are not held by law to keep their promises. There goes a bit of the citizen’s power! At this, I will bring up the original point: Will a policy like this even work in America?

America used to be based upon a set of rules in which all of us where supposed to follow: The Constitution of Independence. We are all supposed to stay at the same power level, a social level according to the Constitution. Compared to many other countries, we are very free indeed; Hence why this policy, especially policy 5 will not make it anywhere in free-America. Everyone knows that they should criticize their government. It is crucial to an unbiased voting session. If we were not aloud to speak about new policies, then that gives away yet another power of ours: Freedom of speech.

We have changed the Constitution before, why don’t we change it again?

Think about our world that we take for granted everyday. Think about our freedoms that we use without realizing it. Despite our freedoms, it is particularly easy for our government to take them away. They have the power to change it, to bend it anyway their own heart desires. You are probably thinking: “Why would a government official have a reason to do that?” you would be surprised on what people will do to gain a bit of power. Without the Constitution, we the people are useless. We are powerless. You can take away our identities, replace them with numbers, take our speech and turn it to silence, but if you take away our constitution, we are truly powerless. This policy is not only brutal, but it tries to take away all of our constitutional rights as citizens of the (not so)United States of America. If we let our government take control as they are doing now, who knows what they will do to America?

Take a stand, and be loud! If we get in people’s faces, then maybe you won’t be a number any longer. Maybe you will become a human being, a human being who can shape the world for the better, but most of all, a better leader of America.

No, I do not agree with these policies, for it takes away a student’s rights. Yes, that’s right, we do have rights!

Dear George W. Bush.
Turns out that we are not based on a series of numbers, Mr. President. In the end you are the number. President number 43.
Sincerely, Will
