THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED US REDEFINE EDUCATION
POSITIVE -- WE AREN'T HERE TO JUST COMPLAIN AND WHINE ABOUT HOW POOR THE CURRICULUM IS THAT WE'RE BEING TAUGHT. WE STAND WITH YOU TODAY TO POSITIVELY PROTEST AGAINST REPETITIVE, IRRELEVANT HIGH SCHOOL COURSES AND ADVOCATE FOR SERIOUS CHANGE IN OUR EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
What Posi-Purge Stands For:
Posi-
ERADICATION. COMPLETE REMOVAL OF WHATEVER IT IS WE'VE BEEN GETTING TAUGHT FOR SO MANY YEARS. ROMEO AND JULIET HAVE LONG OUTSTAYED THEIR WELCOME IN 21ST CENTURY PUBLIC CURRICULUM. WE'RE DYING TO LEARN SOMETHING ELSE. WE'RE DETERMINED TO LEARN SOMETHING THAT WOULD TRULY BENEFIT FUTURE ADULTS WITH USEFUL SKILLS THAT CAN TEACH US TO THINK CR(EATIVE)ITICALLY, SOLVE PROBLEMS EFFICIENTLY, AND WORK SUSTAINABLY IN THE FUTURE.

WRONG WITH IT

- OUTDATED CURRICULUM
- EXCESSIVE PACKET-BASED ASSIGNMENTS
