"My name is Michelle and I am making this website because Teens have
a voice and we need to use it! My homepage will be a brief
introduction into the world-changing event that I am asking you to
join in, because I can't do it alone."
"What I am asking you to do is to stop going to school. Think that's
crazy...or even worse, that it's illegal? Okay, then. Exit this site
right now and return to your nice safe little school. Have I caught
your interest? Good.
What I just said might be crazy. And yes, in a few places it is
against the law. But school, believe it or not, is crushing you.
Instead of helping to to become even one iota of what you are
capable, it is destroying your natural curiosity and love of
learning. And you CAN do something about it. You can quit and start
truly LIVING, doing the things that you want to do, and learning
those things which interest you most. "But wait!" I can hear you
saying. "It's not that simple!" And you would be quite right. Delve
into the depths of this website and I'll tell you more about it,
suggest books, movies, and websites that you can check out to learn
even more, and offer you a part in what can be a revolution with
your help.
Yes, it is not only that I want you to quit your school and start
living and enjoying life. I want you to spread the word, to
everyone, your friends, your sisters and brothers, anyone at all who
is attending school. And once we have enough people, I want you to
sit out of your school for an entire week in Protest. I know you
think I'm nuts; I would think I was nuts, too, if I didn't know
anything except the lies they tell us in school, like "If you drop
out, you'll be flipping burgers for the rest of your days," or "The
only way to get to college and therefore have a successful career
and life is by going to school." Which are both lies. But you don't
have to take my word for it. After all, I'm only 15. I'll give you
studies done by scientists, Words of Wisdom from those older than I,
and site links where you can access hundreds of teens and adults who
have never gone to school and talk with them first hand!
I hope that you enjoy my site, but most of all, I hope you join me
and add one more voice to Our Cry. Your voice can make all the
difference."
"Our Cry's mission is to spread the word about unschooling, to show
everyone that teens have a voice and opinions of their own, and to
show all that LIFE is learning. We need to shout it out that we can
learn all we need to know without compulsory schooling, that we can
live our lives to the fullest and be everything we can be without
being stuck insde a classroom for eight hours a day.
Our mission is to redefine the way America thinks about learning,
and to throw compulsory schooling out the window. We want to be free
to learn on our own, without being monitored and tested to see if we
are "up to scratch," and to have a nation of free-thinkers who do
not come out of an institution as simply a record on play-back mode.
Our mission is to protest, to fight for our right to do this. We
want the freedom to make our own choices and live our own lives! Our
cry is "Hell no, we won't go!" Echoeing the slogan of protesters
before us.
Our mission is to live, learn, and love the best that we can,
without school taking up our time and energy."
