MY NAME IS MARTIN AND I’M HERE TO SAY I’M GOING TO RAP TO THIS BEAT IN A RAPPING WAY
“My education is an ocean, and this school is my boat. My headmaster the bow, my teachers the stern, my textbooks the oars and so on and so forth. Throughout the travels on my boat I may sail through risky regions of unit tests and deceptive currents of trigonometry assignments but, with luck, I will make it through unharmed. I will fight for my toughness because I see my future on the horizon. Although my paddles of knowledge will have difficulty navigating their way through the difficult waters of algebra, I will strive to stay afloat and propel myself forwards to new and greater experiences.” That was a passage from my childhood journal – age five. Now that I have actually experienced these hypotheticals, I see how stupidly mistaken of a child I was. If you think my boat is still on top of the water – you are incorrect. It lies crushed and destroyed at the bottom of the ocean floor, a dirty and decrepit mess of splintered wood and mangled dreams. Whatever hopes and aspirations I once had, have been diluted so much by this water’s presence that they have become simply nothing at all. How did my boat sink? It was pulled under by a viciously swirling whirlpool, and violently sucked downwards into depths of failure by the Satan of subjects itself: French.
There are multitudes of reasons why French should be immediately banded as a subject from this school and I will be touching on only a few such as the sleazy entry of the language into our province, the better things we could be doing with that time, and how the language is full of flaws. This is not in any way a respected reason why French should be being taught in our school! No grit or joy is shown here! We want results based on determination and effort, not under-table-exchanges! Now of course, I would not in any way shape or form command the French to abolish their native tongue because I know it is an extremely important part of French culture- but how on Earth has one minute portion of the population able to incorporate their language into the way we teach our children?! This is not the way of our school. Not only does the French language have this dirty background, but there also many other much better uses of our precious time in the school that we could rather be doing.
If you are a local resident of BC you will know that French lessons are shoved unceremoniously down your throat as early as elementary school, and elementary school is not the place for French. You know what is the place for French? How about France. I just do not understand why this language is forcefully is being taught in our province. What about another elective that we actually want to take, or a double block of English? In my mind this extra time added to subjects will actually help us in life and would be a much better use of our schooling careers.

hugest advocates for ending slavery. Importantly, it should be recognized that there was justifications for the slave trade in addition to reasons why it should have been abolished. For instance, in Britain, slaves were the main source of labor, without them the entire economy would have crumbled. (abolition.e2bn.org) Another, significant argument used in the speech to parliament in 1777 was that even if the British stopped slave trading the French and Dutch would continue it for them. Thus, the Africans…

corrupting, and that authorities are inevitably more concerned with self-perpetuation and increasing their own power than they are with doing what is best for their constituents. Anarchists generally maintain that ethics are a personal matter, and should be based upon concern for others and the wellbeing of society, rather than upon laws imposed by a legal or religious authority (including revered laws such as the U.S. Constitution). Most anarchist philosophies hold that individuals are responsible…

the Ethical Treatments of Animals (PETA) and the moral issues regarding the pain and suffering of animals are leading to more strict regulations on animal testing. But, should this provide enough justification to stop animal testing for scientific advancement and human development? Therefore, pharmaceutical testing using animals should continue because it produces superior results over other methods and it saves both human and animal life. Animal testing has existed since the second and third centuries…

react to inequality differently, some ignore it, and some base their entire system off of countering it. The Socialist structure is the most efficient economic system. To deal with inequality but still have societal progression an equal importance should be placed on equality and wealth, such that neither is valued over the other. Socialism manages to place an equal need on both equality and wealth by providing sufficient incentives; a focus on the individual’s needs, and providing the best way to…

Napoleon’s invasion of Italy in the years 17967 and consequent rule over it for the following 19 years was crucial in helping Italy to, not only rationalise it’s separation of states, but also aspire towards a representative constitutional government…
