Nobody Panic, They Know What Is Best!

In an age where academics and course load, are both meaningless necessities towards the outcome of our future; we are left with the hope that our education system will fail us in our basic needs. Deflect our rights as students, and cancel out all courses that may help us in the future.

Here at Princess Margaret Secondary School the administration is competent in its disposal of language classes. Yes, they made the perfect money saving technique. They pushed their pennies to go further! By making enough money to get that second cup at Starbucks, rather than educating 16 or so pupils in the fundamentals of Spanish 12. Really, it seems to be a fair trade, by letting our teachers get that boost of afternoon caffeine, which proves to help them reach that three o’clock bell. We in-turn were let off the hook to take a class we really wouldn’t need anyways.

We as students should be thankful that we were relinquished the responsibilities to gain knowledge that is of no use to us in the future. We should be thankful, that we didn’t have to anguish over the stress of adding that extra course to our online university application form. Come-on who really needs Spanish 12? And as for the graduates in 2012, who really needs French 12?

The seniors at this institution of basic learning have the teachers to thank. We have been given the apex of opportunities, the summit of underlying care, and the crown of all dreams. Which is, by the way, the experience of a lifetime, before I introduce this holy experience; I believe a drum roll is in need. Yes ladies and gentlemen we have been given the golden key that will unlock an opportunity so rare, it is unheard of. An opportunity so out of this world you might need to take a seat to prepare yourself. Young children and pregnant women should leave the room, as what is about to be revealed has been proven too much to bear for some. We have been so lovingly forced to spend hundreds of dollars at a university to cover the costs of what could have been learnt in our graduating year.

If I may speak on behalf of all graduating students, we are thankful that we are encouraged to throw our money away so easily. Really, we only worked hundreds of hours to make it. And if it gave you that little extra money to take a trip to Starbucks, it is so worthwhile. In all of my 18 years on this earth, I have never been allowed to be in the presence of a school so gracious and professional, to give an opportunity like this. It would have taken an idiot to transfer schools to take Spanish 12 and miss this rare opportunity. I thank the administration at our school that allowed 16 students this year, and another 13 next year, to go without a course and for looking out for our best interests, rather than for the concerns of a couple dollars. Sincerely, we owe all of the administration many thanks.
