The text of this young lady’s speech has been floating around for a couple of week’s but I just saw the tape today. I remember when I came out of high school, that was the moment when I knew that there had to be a better way. I had wasted 4 years and there I was watching my siblings starting the journey down the hole.
One of the things that makes it so delightful to see a valedictorian come out against the current school system is that no one can claim that its because she was a failure;). This is similar to when John Gatto came out against public school on the heels of being name the best teacher.
So what do you all think?
Wow. Proud of her.
Did you see how uncomfortable the faculty was behind her the longer she went on?
Well said!!!
I wonder how the teachers felt?
Also, while it was good, it was long. Good heavens, how long do they give these kids to speak?
