Prompt # 37

What are amendments you may ask? Amendments are rights we have as people, and protect them. The amendment I honor more is the first amendment. It is said, “Freedom of Speech, Religion, Press, Petition, and Assembly.” We should never forget what is rightfully ours.
The first amendment provides us the freedom to speak. We students usually fuse about schools not letting us express ourselves. Do you feel schools have a right to limit a student’s freedom? No, they don’t because we should be able to wear whatever we want, as long as it isn’t hurting anyone. We should speak up to schools if anyone has a problem with wearing uniforms, or any other limits given to us.
Are you free to express yourself in writing at school? In school we have to write a paper how the teacher wants the format. Where is our expression in any of it. Student’s now have to take notes in a specific way. But its also a yes to a certain extent. Schools have been becoming stricter from how students do things. They want us to wear uniform, but that shouldn’t matter because its not how we come dress to school its how much knowledge we bring. They shouldn’t make big deals out of it, because schools shouldn’t be about what we wear. It’s what we bring out to the table.
Schools from every country should let kids express themselves. “Why not, let us?” People want other people who can have creative and beautiful minds. By limiting the extent for students’ to express can be a bad thing. You can close their minds people don’t always want someone who has much knowledge, but the creativity they bring with it too.
People don’t forget the rights you have because many of us nowadays don’t know much of our rights, and let officers do anything they please. REMEMBER, your rights because the people who fought for them long time ago was never for nothing!
