Our protesting

So as most of you know, the government is going to bring up our class sizes, reduce our school budget and deduct SPEC. This means that next year, school won't be as good for all of this years year 7's. So teachers have been protesting and maybe even striking. Me, Callista and Ryley in my class (with and idea from Ms. T) came up with a song, it's a remake of a song 'Another Brick in a Wall' by Pink Floyd. Here are the lyrics.

Another Brick in The Wall
We don't need no crowded classrooms
We don't need no stressed out souls
No deductions of the spec rooms
Hekia leave us kids alone 

Hey Hekia leave us kids alone 
All in all it's just another bad decision
All in all you're just another bad politician

[chorus at end by pupils from the Fourth Form Music Class Islington Green School, London]

We don't need no crowded classrooms
We don't need no stressed out souls
No deductions of the spec rooms
Hekia leave us kids alone 
Hey Hekia leave us kids alone 
All in all you're just another bad politician
All in all you're just another bad politician

-Shannon

One shall not be afraid of the darkness...
For it is in our darkest moments, that our stars truly shine.

What I think it means;
That even it the worst of times, don't be afraid because in those times is when someone steps up and helps make it better.

Quote

As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.

This quote is by Ben Hogan.

What I think it means;
That you have to take your time and enjoy life, because you only get one life. Don't rush through things and miss a whole lot of opportunities, but instead take chances, challenge yourself and live it to its fullest.

Quote

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.

A amazing quote by a website called Sevenly.org.

What I think it means;
That you can't change everything you try to change, but you won't be able to change it (if you can) without trying.

-Shannon

The website is for charity s, each week there is a different charity and for each charity there are clothes designed to support the charity and $7 from each sale goes to that charity. Thought I'd explain encase you want to take a look, they have some pretty cool charity s and designs.

My thoughts on war

Definition;
War, Armed conflict between nations or states or between groups.
That is the internet and dictionarys defintion.

This is my definition;
War, somthing that ruins familys, kills innocent people, destroys citys. A horrid way to solve problems.

I really think war is the worst way to solve a problem and most of the time the resolution they come to could have been solved without all the death, pain and suffering.

We have been told that violence isn't the answer and we should talk it out. Then we hear on the news that there is some war going on in a foreign country over something like some land, I may be young and not understand completely why they are fighting but I know that there is a better way. Like maybe having a discussion about it instead of bringing out weapons and attacking each other. What will it solve? Nothing, it will most likely make the other people/person mad and then they will retaliate.

"An eye for an eye just makes the whole world blind" my translation for that, doing something bad to someone because they did something bad in the first place doesn't solve a thing, it just makes the situation worse.

Conclusion, I don't like war. I think it is the worst way to solve a problem, it just causes pain, death and suffering. I think people should negotiate or have a discussion about the problem instead of attacking each other. To put it bluntly, I find war barbaric and completely point-less.

Well, that was my rant-post on war. Leave me a comment telling me what your thoughts on my thoughts are. Also maybe leave me a comment giving me ideas on what I could share my thoughts on?

I just thought this could be something else I post about. Rant-posts, when I share my thoughts about something.
