In a dramatic turn of events, St. Genghis Khan High School in the small town of Despotia has decided to turn back the clock - not to when trigonometry was actually useful in daily life, but to the early 18th century, where absolute monarchy reigned. The school has issued an ultimatum, a decree to be precise, demanding complete obedience from its students or, in layman’s terms – “comply or get lost!” As part of the new inflexible policy articulated by Principal Napoleon "Stalin" McLenin, renowned for his eyebrow-raising antics including organizing a coup d'état during the annual school play, students are now required to pledge allegiance to the school flag every morning, memorize the school anthem in Latin, and refer to all faculty members as ‘Your Supremeness'. Principal McLenin commented, “This change is just what the students need. Besides, we think the kids will love calling their math teacher ‘Her Supremeness'. It certainly beats calling her ‘Miss I-just-failed-you-on-the-latest-algebra-test’. Plus, every school needs some regional flavor, right? Our flavor just happens to be tutorial totalitarianism.” The ultimatum also includes compulsory rounds of the school chanting supportive slogans before lunch, strict adherence to the unexcused absence rule (max 0), an that all assignments to be submitted in triplicate. The reaction to the school’s ‘obey or bid adieu’ policy has been a mixed bag. Billy "the anarchist" Thompson, quarterback of the school’s football team, bemoaned, “Man, I barely make the curfew as it is! Now, I have to wake up at 4 in the morning, march around the school, and pretend to remember Latin? Goodbye, sleep!” Meanwhile, science whiz Nora "mad scientist" Van Einstein is quite optimistic. “The slogan chanting sounds fun! As long as nobody meddles with my laboratory and elaborate experiments involving diet soda and mentos...” The pizza lady at St. Genghis cafeteria stated, "I haven't had a raise in so many years, maybe under this tyranny they might finally acknowledge my servings as state art and I might even get rewarded." The move may seem rash to the untrained eye, but Principal McLenin assures everyone that their advice was taken into careful consideration - before being tossed in the recycle bin. In their defense, he adds, “We’re just nudging these kids to embrace discipline, following rules, and understanding how much fun it can be to live under a despotic regime.” St. Genghis High, under the leadership of Principal McLenin is paving a revolutionary path in remolding the traditional structure of education with a historical touch. If this trailblazing approach will strengthen the school community or have students looking elsewhere for their reading, writing and ‘rithmetic is yet to be determined. However, Thought for the day - what's more thrilling than brushing up on your Latin, while fearing the consequences if you miss a single day at school. As they say in Despotia, "All hail the supreme tutorial dictatorship!"
