We The Students
Of Mr. Callaway's honors government class, in hopes to create a better cell, known also as the classroom, demand justice. In this justice our minimal Blessings of Liberty shall be dispensed to not only a few, nor a mere handful, but hopefully the entire class. For our pleas to be heard, we hereby establish this Constitution for the Intelligent Kids of Callaway's 1st Block Class.

When it comes the time of certain student matters it may become a necessity for a band of students to abolish the ties that restrict them to certain spaces, and to receive but one of their God-given rights. In this case, our right is freedom. Not freedom from laws, or school rules, but the simple freedom which shall allow us to settle into our own seats.

We hold these demands as rightfully wanted, for our seats are decided by a seating chart, which is organized via our family name. This aforementioned chart is unfair when one faces the mere fact that we do not decide our family name.

We are here to say, that even though this freedom may not be unalienable, all students are in class as equals. We hold that when this freedom is taken away it is the duty of the violated to rebel peacefully, and cause no injuries to others. By achieving this freedom we will be ensured our own happiness and fun.

We therefore, the students of Mr. Callaway's 1st Block Class, are hereby in complete agreement upon the want of obtaining the aforementioned freedom of choosing our seats and are hereby submitting this petition to the high and mighty instructor known as Mr. Callaway.

If by being given this small freedom certain conditions must be met, then so be it. Those conditions may consist of one, two, or even a combination of the following:

1) Upon being given the freedom of choosing ones own seat we agree to keep our noise, racket, and other such annoyances to a bare minimum. And to never breach a level of annoyances which shall beset the instructor.

2) We the students vow also not to cause too large a mess in the room.

3) We the students vow, that in the case of a substitute teacher we will treat him or her with the same attitude and/or character as we would if you were the one there.

The freedom of seat-choosing would also ensure that we, the students, will better cope with bad jokes, many a movie reference (especially Monty Python), jokes with lame punch lines and the rest of Mr. Callaway's...Callawayness (his character is not easily described with other words).

We did a similar project at my school where we did a Constitution for the teenagers of America, to our parents. It was pretty funny, especially ecause no one was really angry at thier parents so we just made stuff up.

I have to say I agree with you on the seating chart. We shoul be allowed to choose our own seats. I mean, I can see the benifits in elementry school, but not high school. I mean, I think if you can drive you can choose your seat in class. Teachers at like we're all imbiciles and juvinile delinquents, I swear.
