<p>Are we allowed to discuss the essay section. If so, what did everybody think?</p>

2

<p>No one really cares about the essay. It’s a bunch of ****. This is coming from a person who got 11 both times.</p>

3

<p>I thought it would be interesting to hear what people said.</p>

4

<p>I thought the essay topic was pretty interesting; this one was putting light to an issue that is actually being talked about today.</p>

5

<p>

</p>

<p>I second that, coming from a person who got an 11 and a 12.</p>

<p>But I like writing the essay, throw in random Confucius quotes…good times, lol.</p>

6

<p>I have a feeling that everybody talked about Freedom of Speech. I veered away from that.</p>

7

<p>^Anony:
I sort of included that. I said that by suppressing the voices of the children, the policy is unconstitutional and depicts the school in a negative way. If parents or other individuals were to know about this, they would publicize it and students would stop going to that school because there parents would move to a different school district. If this happened, the whole school would collapse and there would not even be a school anymor.</p>

8

<p>I put that negative feelings would always exist, whether suppressed or vocally transmitted. It wouldn’t matter if they censored things so it would be a waste of time.</p>

9

<p>Oh really? well would you like to tell me why College Confidential makes all the swears into *****?</p>

<p>Im not against what you said, but I’m just wondering why you say that.</p>

10

<p>I think that

  1. You would be able to get what you wrote from the context and the number of asterisks
  2. You still have negative feelings in your head. The point of them censoring stuff online is to make sure there are no negative feelings. The feelings will be communicated through a medium other than online anyways.</p>
11

<p>It would be way to costly to enforce anyway.</p>

12

<p>Enforce what?? 10char</p>

13

<p>The policy.</p>

14

<p>I feel like an idiot, I used the first amendment and then turned it around on itself, saying that the Supreme Court held that students did not have the right to free speech if it proved to be detrimental to the educational process, so in this case, the school had the right to censor/not provide an outlet to students to criticize teachers as it had the potential of providing an outlet for students to post libelous comments about their teachers which undermined authority…</p>

<p>But now I’m afraid that whoever reads it is going to be turned off by that outlook…</p>

15

<p>I pulled the censorship card and and a Ray Bradbury quote. Probably not my best plan, but whatever I suppose.</p>
