The video put out recently in which a high-schooler fights for what he believes in has had many districts around the U.S. proposing new ideas on how we can fix our school system to benefit both students and
staff in the modern day's school system.I personally believe that this student really speaks for all students
throughout the world. Yes, maybe he could have presented what he thought in a more respectful manner
but he still presented his beliefs in a way that we can all relate to. As students we all have that one teacher
or that one day where we just want to stand up and let all the pressure built up from anger and frustration
ooze out of us.I also think that we as students should decide what we want to learn. After all we're all
our own person with our own life and our own beliefs.For example if i wanted to become an engineer
and my best friend wanted to become an artist should we both be studying the same things and
completing the same homework or should I be learning physics and advanced math and let him learn
advanced art and design.When i think about what this student did i try to put myself in his shoes and
"yes" i think i would've done the same exact thing.In conclusion i think fighting for what you believe in just as
Jeff Bliss did is one of the few things that can lead to change in today's public education system.
