the class

I think, in a way, our class is a group of Zealots. We have this ideal in mind for how we think Huntingdon should be, and although it is different from what the administration and staff (the Romans) have been doing, the results of what we want are the same. We all want to have a peaceful campus where students are engaging in learning and are equipped for the real world. The means by which we want that, however, is where we differ. We, as a class of Zealots, don't like the way that the Romans of our institution have been running things and we don't think they should have power over us. Huntingdon is our school, we pay the bills and we are the body of inhabitants. Our futures depend on everything that happens here. We want to make Huntingdon's classrooms better learning environments to better prepare us for the world after graduation. After college, very few of us will have to take a test to show the things we know; instead, we will have to be able to put the things that we know into action. If we aren't doing that here, we aren't learning. It's not about overthrowing the government or killing people for us, it's about taking control over what we think should already be ours: learning.
