There is a story of a young, but
earnest Zen student who approached
his teacher, and asked the Master,
"If I work very hard and diligently,
how long will it take for me to find
Zen? The Master thought about this,
then replied, "Ten years¡± The
student then said, "But what if I
work very, very hard and really
apply myself to learn fast -- How
long then?" Replied the Master,
"Well, twenty years." "But, if I
really, really work at it, how
long then?" asked the student.
"Thirty years," replied the Master.
"But, I do not understand," said the
disappointed student. "At each time
that I say I will work harder, you
say it will take me longer. Why do
you say that?" Replied the Master,
"When you have one eye on the goal,
you only have one eye on the path."

This
is the dilemma I've faced within the
American education system. We are so
focused on a goal, whether it be
passing a test, or graduating as
first in the class. However, in this
way, we do not really learn. We do
whatever it takes to achieve our
original objective.

Some of you may be
thinking, ¡°Well, if you pass a test,
or become valedictorian, didn't you
learn something? Well, yes, you
learned something, but not all that
you could have. Perhaps, you only
learned how to memorize names,
places, and dates to later on forget
in order to clear your mind for the
next test. School is not all that it
can be. Right now, it is a place for
most people to determine that their
goal is to get out as soon as
possible.

I am now
accomplishing that goal. I am
graduating. I should look at this as
a positive experience, especially
being at the top of my class.
However, in retrospect, I cannot say
that I am any more intelligent than
my peers. I can attest that I am
only the best at doing what I am
told and working the system. Yet,
here I stand, and I am supposed to
be proud that I have completed this
period of indoctrination.

I will leave in the
fall to go on to the next phase
expected of me, in order to receive
a paper document that certifies that
I am capable of work. But I contest
that I am a human being, a thinker,
an adventurer – not a worker. A
worker is someone who is trapped
within repetition – a slave of the
system set up before him.

But now, I have
successfully shown that I was the
best slave. I did what I was told to
the extreme. While others sat in
class and doodled to later become
great artists, I sat in class to
take notes and become a great
test-taker. While others would come
to class without their homework done
because they were reading about an
interest of theirs, I never missed
an assignment. While others were
creating music and writing lyrics, I
decided to do extra credit, even
though I never needed it.

So, I wonder, why did
I even want this position? Sure, I
earned it, but what will come of it?
When I leave educational
institutionalism, will I be
successful or forever lost? I have
no clue about what I want to do with
my life; I have no interests because
I saw every subject of study as
work, and I excelled at every
subject just for the purpose of
excelling, not learning. And quite
frankly, now I'm scared.

John
Taylor Gatto, a retired school
teacher and activist critical of
compulsory schooling, asserts,
¡°We could encourage the best
qualities of youthfulness –
curiosity, adventure,
resilience, the capacity for
surprising insight simply by
being more flexible about time,
texts, and tests, by introducing
kids into truly competent
adults, and by giving each
student what autonomy he or she
needs in order to take a risk
every now and then. But we don't
do that.¡± Between these
cinderblock walls, we are all
expected to be the same. We are
trained to ace every
standardized test, and those who
deviate and see light through a
different lens are worthless to
the scheme of public education,
and therefore viewed with
contempt.

To
illustrate this idea, doesn't it
perturb you to learn about the idea
of ¡°critical thinking?¡± Is there
really such a thing as ¡°uncritically
thinking?¡± To think is to process
information in order to form an
opinion. But if we are not critical
when processing this information,
are we really thinking? Or are we
mindlessly accepting other opinions
as truth?

This
was happening to me, and if it
wasn't for the rare occurrence of an
avant-garde tenth grade English
teacher, Donna Bryan, who allowed me
to open my mind and ask questions
before accepting textbook doctrine,
I would have been doomed. I am now
enlightened, but my mind still feels
disabled. I must retrain myself and
constantly remember how insane this
ostensibly sane place really is.

And
now here I am in a world guided by
fear, a world suppressing the
uniqueness that lies inside each of
us, a world where we can either
acquiesce to the inhuman nonsense of
corporatism and materialism or
insist on change. We are not
enlivened by an educational system
that clandestinely sets us up for
jobs that could be automated, for
work that need not be done, for
enslavement without fervency for
meaningful achievement. We have no
choices in life when money is our
motivational force. Our motivational
force ought to be passion, but this
is lost from the moment we step into
a system that trains us, rather than
inspires us.

We
are more than robotic bookshelves,
conditioned to blurt out facts we
were taught in school. We are all
very special, every human on this
planet is so special, so aren't we
all deserving of something better,
of using our minds for innovation,
rather than memorization, for
creativity, rather than futile
activity, for rumination rather than
stagnation? We are not here to get a
degree, to then get a job, so we can
consume industry-approved placation
after placation. There is more, and
more still.

The
saddest part is that the majority of
students don't have the opportunity
to reflect as I did. The majority of
students are put through the same
brainwashing techniques in order to
create a complacent labor force
working in the interests of large
corporations and secretive
government, and worst of all, they
are completely unaware of it.

I
will never be able to turn back
these 18 years. I can't run away to
another country with an education
system meant to enlighten rather
than condition. This part of my life
is over, and I want to make sure
that no other child will have his or
her potential suppressed by powers
meant to exploit and control. We are
human beings. We are thinkers,
dreamers, explorers, artists,
writers, engineers. We are anything
we want to be - but only if we have
an educational system that supports
us rather than holds us down. A tree
can grow, but only if its roots are
given a healthy foundation.

For
those of you out there that must
continue to sit in desks and yield
to the authoritarian ideologies of
instructors, do not be disheartened.
You still have the opportunity to
stand up, ask questions, be
critical, and create your own
perspective. Demand a setting that
will provide you with intellectual
capabilities that allow you to
expand your mind instead of
directing it. Demand that you be
interested in class. Demand that the
excuse, ¡°You have to learn this for
the test¡± is not good enough for
you. Education is an excellent tool,
if used properly, but focus more on
learning rather than getting good
grades.

For
those of you that work within the
system that I am condemning, I do
not mean to insult; I intend to
motivate. You have the power to
change the incompetencies of this
system. I know that you did not
become a teacher or administrator to
see your students bored. You cannot
accept the authority of the
governing bodies that tell you what
to teach, how to teach it, and that
you will be punished if you do not
comply. Our potential is at stake.

For
those of you that are now leaving
this establishment, I say, do not
forget what went on in these
classrooms. Do not abandon those
that come after you. We are the new
future and we are not going to let
tradition stand. We will break down
the walls of corruption to let a
garden of knowledge grow throughout
America. Once educated properly, we
will have the power to do anything,
and best of all, we will only use
that power for good, for we will be
cultivated and wise. We will not
accept anything at face value. We
will ask questions, and we will
demand truth.

So,
here I stand. I am not standing here
as valedictorian by myself. I was
molded by my environment, by all of
my peers who are sitting here
watching me. I couldn't have
accomplished this without all of
you. It was all of you who truly
made me the person I am today. It
was all of you who were my
competition, yet my backbone. In
that way, we are all valedictorians.

I am
now supposed to say farewell to this
institution, those who maintain it,
and those who stand with me and
behind me, but I hope this farewell
is more of a ¡°see you later¡± when we
are all working together to rear a
pedagogic movement. But first, let's
go get those pieces of paper that
tell us that we're smart enough to
do so!
