The Same Way Again...

Welcome to the world of 2060, a world of infinite wonder, a world where super computers are dime a dozen, a world with no diseases, a world where just engineering can grant people powers! A world where studies are all taught by robots! And what teachers do? Well they are the minds behind these robots, robots just because they makes students much more confident! Well hello! I’m Ken, and I am someone who changed the way education was known. So I was a teacher in high risers, the school once known for the most successful, confident and happy but it couldn’t handle itself the same way after the computed revolution, it just became a hell of sadness! All left in it were students scared, scared of people, scared of society! It all is just a building for failure! Failures always reduced to tears! So let’s get to the point, I was a teacher in that school, that you already know but I was the only teacher who won’t obey the principal, he actually had kept rules for what part of the world to fit into the school server and who won’t follow the orders would need to be fired! But I wasn’t a kind of person who would find it more satisfying to harm an enemy than a friend, cause everyone after all is a human, and nobody deserves mercy as mercy is far more horrific than death! I find myself in an aroma limited and will soon end, every time I breath it in, I get to understand how hard it is to sacrifice and so nobody should have someone’s shoulder.

“Get to the point! Tell me why, why in this world did you betray your own boss? Don’t you respect me? Well then, I guess you will soon learn the lesson after you are fired! You think that I am a fool? Well I know that then you are a fool” shouted the principal. I hate him, I just entered the information in the school server, I just want to take my revenge, I want him to get arrested for stressing children. If I had the power, I’d make him feel regret for all of the sins he has done and is doing, if I had the power, I’d chop off his head, burn it up, summon a monster and feed that head to it. What? How can I be so evil! Well right now the main thing of concern is to remind him of his school day memories. Memories! Memories! Why didn’t I get this idea before! If I take him back in time then he’d think of all the sins he had done! But wait, I can’t time travel him! Time travelling is just a theory but you should never believe in theories as they don’t believe in themselves only."Why are you asking me all that useless stuff? All you are supposed to do is to fill information in the school server, I know that get out of the office or get fired! I know you are planning something, something fishy, something hilarious! So forget about it or get FIRED!!!” shouted the principal.' 'Well, that might not be a good idea, directly entering the office and asking him something, about his olden days. So I guess that I need something big, something effective and something stealthy, and if that isn't the idea then maybe I' I need to exterminate him, maybe... so I should first think of a spectacular idea an idea, super spectacular idea, a kind of a magic trick. TRICK! ! I can easily trick him! But wait, what trick should I play? Ma bye first dress like an ice cream seller and tranquillise him? Nah, that would seem quite to suspicions, or what about making an amusement park right besides his house? Nah, that would cost too much! Better if I just call him at dinner and cook a dish filled with tranquillisers! Such a nice idea! "thought Ken." September 25,2006, Mr.Arima, Principal of High Risers elementary..." wrote Ken. "Ahh, finally done, now let me go post it" said Ken. After posting the letter, he went to the chemist and purchased drugs and tranquillisers." Al tough it would have been tough to get these in 2020 but now it is just a whole new world! But that's not all, I do need his old memories! Hmm... where can I get these from?" thought Ken. Ahh thanks for reminding me of my school days, but wait, why do you want to see my memories?" asked Mr. Arima." Well sir, its good to know the taste of people right?" ' said Ken. "so ok, but I want no tricks "said Arima. "Ok, Bye see you at the dinner" said Ken.

He was ready for the war, all armed with plan As and plan Bs. It was finally the time to let the happiness to gain victory. The doorbell rang 'ting-tong!! And he had the biggest smile ever on his face! As planned, he took the tranquillisers and mixed them with wine, the wine was looking real bad, he could sense to much of alcohol, he added some flavouring with food colour, now it was okay:). the principal without suspecting anything relished the whole drink, in the background, Ken played an ASMR I Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) sound of children playing, laughing and whisper, of innovative ideas! He had a big smile on his face ! All of his mind was just full of happy thoughts in the blank trans, he forgot of all the sadness! With the biggest up curved face, he started saying some weird stuff like revolution, salvation, power, optimism. Something started going wrong, something... He snapped out of his trans, he was again in control, he came to know about Ken's plans, Ken on the other hand was terrified!

He didn't quite get the point in beating the principal so he took another can of tranquillisers, this one was a gas bomb, he started the timer and locked himself in a room, outside, the gas bomb exploded, it again tranquillised the principal, then Ken walked towards the principal wearing a mask, he was ready now, tied the principal to a chair, started playing the sounds again, whispered of the education of past, an art of gaining information, the principal started crying in the trans, tears running like rivers down his face, he finally felt regret for the sinner inside him. Remembering the days of his days, he had gotten hurt, leg fractured, he couldn’t go to school, but then one of his class rivals came, and taught him a few math concepts, elated, Arima thanked his rival. And they became best friends for ever! He got reminded of the healthy competition, days of the concept of helping out the weak, he understood that learning has no limits. Learning is not filling the mind with information, it isn’t about gaining perfection, learning isn’t only about learning, it is creation, invention like the reason of learning in 2020, although the learning didn’t go so good, but it still taught them life skills, it taught them creation, imagination, no limits. He bowed down to Ken, surrendering, the both had now teamed up ! they were thinking that education is not going on the right way anymore, as only a herd can build a giant 1 they had no power alone! "We can do nothing alone!" said Arima." only if we are alone "said Ken.

"Ladies and gentle men, the world needs a change, we can 't go the same way again and again, sometimes we can get proven wrong, sometimes we can get lost in this deep dense forest. Then what will we do? we will remember the way from where we came, turn around and with the deepest breathe, walk to the light. Right? Am I not right? Cause if I am then shout right at the sky" We need to turn around, no matter what threats we face, we will head back with the deepest breaths "say every one, speak up! we need to turn education back to its original form! "was the speech for their revolution. And soon after, it got popular world wide! And so did the revolution. And this helped the man to learn that no matter how advanced you make your creations, you can never let it take your place. The day Ken wished of had finally arrived, the days of a happy, smart and an avid next gen
