=Classroom Declaration of Independence=

Preamble
We, the 8th graders of A.E. Burdick School have put up with enough. We now leave Mr. Skonecki's rule. We declare our freedom from his rule and join our classes into our own form of government.

Declaration of Rights
We as an 8th grade have the right to respect, a good education, and to the pursuit of happiness. These are our natural rights and to secure them in our government we will take any course of action that is necessary. If any person or crowd deprives us of these rights we have the power to obtain control from them and form a better government.

1) Mr. Skonecki gives us too much homework. 2) Mr. Skonecki always teases us. 3) Mr. Skonecki doesn't give us recess. 4) Mr. Skonecki talks to long when teaching. 5) Mr. Skonecki eats in front of us; doesn't let us eat. 6) Mr. Skonecki doesn't give us long enough brakes. 7) Mr. Skonecki doesn't let us chose our seats. 8) Mr. Skonecki threatens us with detentions. 9) Mr. Skonecki always thinks that he's right. 10) Mr. Skonecki always forgets everything.

Resolution
In order to form a more perfect union we declare our independence from Mr.Skonecki's rule. He is not fit to run our classroom. He has deprived us of our natural rights and caused us much pain. We now form our own government, follow our own rules, and most of all we now run our own class.
