    The document is a transcript of a mock trial where Prince Ea is suing the school system. In his opening statement, Prince Ea argues that the modern school system treats students like "robots" and fails to nurture their creativity, individuality, and ability to think critically. He presents exhibits showing little change in classrooms over the past 150 years while other areas like technology and transportation have advanced greatly. Prince Ea asserts that the "one-size-fits-all" school model is detrimental as all students have different needs and strengths. He calls for a more customized education system that better prepares students for the future.

    I JUST SUED THE SCHOOL SYSTEM !!!

    Prince Ea

    Albert Einstein once said: "Everybody's a genius

    But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today on trial we have modern day schooling

    Glad you could come. Not only does he make fish climb trees, but also makes them climb down and
    make them do a 10 mile run

    Tell me, school, are you proud of the things you've done?Turning millions of people into robots

    Do you find that fun?

    Do you realize how many children relate to that fish swimming upstream in class believing they are
    useless?

    Well the time has come; no more excuses. I call school the to the stand and accuse him of killing
    creativity, individuality and being intellectually abusive he’s ancient institution has outlived his usage

    So, your honor, this concludes my open statement and if I may present the opening of my case I will
    prove it

    Proceed

    Exhibit A: here's a modern day phone; recognize it?

    Now here's a phone from 150 years ago

    Big difference, right?

    Stay with me, all right

    Here's a car today and here's a car from 150 years ago

    Big difference right?

    Well get this: here's a classroom of today and here's a classroom we used 150 years ago
    Now ain't that a shame

    In literary over a century, nothing has changed

    Yet you claim to prepare students for the future?

    But with evidence like that I must ask: do you prepare students for the future, or the past?

    I did a background check on you and let the records show, that you were made to trade people to work
    in factories, which explains why you put students in straight rows nice and neat. Raise your hand if you
    want to speak, give them a short break to eat, and for eight hours a day tell them what to think

    Oh, and make the compete to get an A a letter that determines a product quality hint grade A of meat

    I get it, back then times were different

    We all have a past; I myself am no Gandhi

    But today, we don't need to make robot zombies

    The world had progressed, and now we need people

    Who think creatively, innovatively, critically, interdependently, with the ability to connect

    You see, every scientist will tell you no two brains are the same

    And every parents with two or more children will confirm that claim

    So please explain why you treat students like cookie cutter frames

    Or snap back caps, giving this one size fits all crap?

    Watch your language!

    Sorry, your honor

    But if a doctor prescribed the exact same medicine to all of his patients

    The results would be tragic; so many people would get sick


    Yet when it comes to school this is exactly what happens. This educational malpractice where one
    teacher stands in front of 20 children each one having different strengths different needs different gifts
    different dreams and you teach the same thing the same way. that's horrific lady gentlemen the
    defendant the gentlemen should not be acquitted

    This may be one of the worst criminal offenses ever to be committed. And let’s mention the way you
    treat your employees

    Objection!

    Overruled I want to hear this!

    It's a shame I mean teachers have the most important job on the planet yet they are underpaid no
    wonder why so many students are shortchanged. Let’s be honest teachers should earn just as much as
    doctors because a doctor can do heart surgery and save the life of a child. But a great teacher can reach
    the heart of that child and allow him to truly live

    You see teachers are heroes that often get blamed. But they're not the problem they work in a system
    with not many options or rights curriculum's are created by policy makers where most of them haven't
    taught a day in their life. Just obsessed with standardized tests they think bubbling in a multiple choice
    question will determine success

    That's how outlandish in fact these test are to cruel to be used and should be abandoned. But don't take
    my word for it. take Fredrick J Keely and man who invented standardized testing who said and I quote
    "These tests are too crude to be used and should be abandoned" Ladies and gentlemen of the jury if we
    continue down this road the results will be lethal

    I don't have much faith in school, but I do have faith in people. and if we can customize health care, cars,
    and Facebook pages, then it is our duty to do the same for education to upgrade change and do way
    with school spirit 'cause that's useless unless we are working to bring the spirit out of each and every
    student that should be our task. No more common core instead let’s reach the core of every heart in
    every class

    Sure math is important but no more than art or dance let's give every gift an equal chance I know this
    sounds like a dream but countries like Finland are doing impressive things they have shorter school days,
    teachers make a decent wage homework is non existent they focus on collaboration instead of
    competition. But here's the kicker boys and girls: their educational system outperforms every other
    country in the world. Other places like Singapore are succeeding rapidly schools like Montessori
    programs like Khan Academy there is no single solution

    But let’s get moving because while students may be 20% of our population, they are 100% of our future
    so let’s attend to their dreams and there's no telling what we can achieve this is a world in which I
    believe a world where fish are no longer forced to climb trees

    I rest my case
