UNLUCKY
Ch.468 - Unempty Speech
"It's terrible to hear it too, but yes.just read it!" the audience said.
"All right, you're asking!" said Tan started staring at his letter. Actually Tan had memorized the contents of his letter only after it would be read in public so, Tan so forgotten and difficult to read his own writing. It took courage to write the letter, but it took much more courage to read it.
"It seems like twins just don't make the same thought. Teo wrote letters mostly about himself. Tom is more of a learning experience. While I'm different myself ... I'm not going to tell you what my memories were at Gallagher school and how hard it was to study at Gallagher." Tan began to embolden himself by swallowing his saliva and taking a breath in readiness.
"Twin is not the same especially you guys?! all your letters must be different. I can't wait to hear it!" said Mr. Egan gave a pause for Tan who looked tense to read his letter.
"If there is the same means cheat sir!" audience Words.
"No cheating at Gallagher!" said Mr. Egan somehow looks proud of himself saying that.
"Gallagher, the famous elite private school number one in Yardley that even beat the public school. Initially only opened for elementary school but over time it has been opened for Junior High School and High School level. Whyyy?! it's boring, right?! but what can I do, I won't stop!" said Tan laughed at the audience's expression that was like he was hearing a lesson because Tan also explained like a teacher.
"The public school that he said was first built in the Yardley even long before the war. But there is no record confirming that. Gallagher was only recorded to exist after the war was over." the bored audience's face did not stop Tan.
"Indeed, we've listened to and read many times in history books, but we all believe that they're just fabrications. All the schools were destroyed during the war and Gallagher was only built after that. But what if it's not true. Earlier, I had been looking for information about Gallagher and I had information that this school existed long before the war. It was built and managed by someone who wanted a place to learn and a place to have knowledge to share with others that is a teacher." Tan said interrupted by the audience.
"Where is the source?!"
"Is it accurate?!"
"From which book?!"
"Our school does not provide such information. I've searched all the books in the library."
It was difficult for Tan to explain to an audience that was smart in questioning the source of the information.
"Gallagher means help from a stranger. A suitable name for a school, because all who become teachers are foreigners. Not parents or families but strangers who are willing to help us gain knowledge. But the name Gallagher actually comes from two words, Galla and Ager. These two people are the founders of our school." Tan paused for a moment because the audience's voice was very noisy.
"Personal opinion cannot be rejected, we are a democratic country .. Come on! let's listen to Tan!" mr. Egan said it was not as demanding as the audience who said Tan was saying nonsense.
"Galla is someone who comes from a distinguished and wealthy family. While Ager from a family that is lacking in economic terms but respected. The two are not blood brothers but their friendship is very close because it has the same principles and dreams that advance education. At that time only the children of rich people could go to school, women were also forbidden to study at that time. But Galla and Ager wanted to make a change, opening the school to everything regardless of wealth or gender. For both of them, all deserve to learn and get an education equivalent to the others. That's how our school history started ... but what now?! is the purpose of Galla and Ager as the founders of the school still conveyed and used as guidelines?!" finally the children know where the direction of the contents of Tan's letter.
"Our school accepts students financially and gender-independent!" the audience defended.
"Unfortunately, our school is now making an exam to get into Gallagher. Contrary to what the founder of the school wanted or who you mean it although it is not clear .. but now no longer accept all students with knowledge from scratch but must be with the test. Someone who already has a strong basis that is acceptable" said another audience sounding persuaded even though it is still unclear.
"Sometimes there's also that can come in for using the connection." Another fact is increasingly being blatantly excluded.
Tan allowed the audience to discuss. The teacher who heard that was not too disturbed. Even with the sensitive topic started by Tan. But it can build critical thinking in children according to them. After all, it is currently a camping event for entertainment and holidays. It is up to the student how to enjoy and spend time. Egan just kept smiling too.
"How's?! what I said sounds like bullshit, right?! but over time you begin to be persuaded too... because that is how humans, just want to believe what they want to believe. Even after provided a material to be used as a guideline but sometimes we assume it is wrong because it is not in accordance with what we want to believe. My words sound like a lie but you're starting to believe it too. Our school has grown rapidly and become the number one school. Whereas Gallagher was once viewed with one eye by people for making a new system that was foreign and not in accordance with the times of the time. Schools that were once always moving because they were not approved by the government are now the best schools in our country and have the best school buildings and facilities even in the eyes of the world. A school that was once just to gain knowledge to be on par with other children is now turning into a relentless race. No longer just learning but continue to aspire to be number one. Not only in Gallagher but in other schools as well, not that I was saying only Gallagher is like this but all the schools in fact are now like that. I'm saying this just to remind you guys .. School is not a race to get the label of who knows the most. But school is a place to learn new things." the end of the word from Tan who was given applause from all students and teachers.
"What are you doing?! just revealed the history of our school which is only recorded in Mundebris. Are you crazy?!" tom said through the Alvauden Network still put on a smile because he was on stage. It's not that worrying that Tan will get into trouble after his letter against the education system. But because it connects it to the real story.
"What?! so what Tan told you was true?! not just parables and nonsense ..." said Teo.
"Again .. no one will believe either. It must be just thinking that I'm making up a story for the main purpose of perfecting what I want to say" Tan said.
"Galla and Ager, both are Alvauden Half Viviandem. What Tan said was indeed from a true story" Felix said.
