This blog post is about our blog posts. Mr. Wilcox, you tell us we can write whatever we want in these blogs, as long as we show some insight and thought. You're giving us the illusion of freedom, while still remaining well in control. Now, even if you just say "Write whatever you want", we as students still won't do so. We will write about what we think that you will approve of in order to attain the higher grade. While we're under the illusion of freedom, you still remain happily in control. Now, you may say, "What are you talking about? You guys aren't catering towards my tastes and expectations in order to receive a higher grade!". To that, I say, we are. While many of the things that we write may be in our interest, they don't really show what we truly want to write about. If I was to write about whatever I wanted, I would be writing movie and video game reviews. But, because my target audience is not that of my peers, but of my Theory of Knowledge teacher, I've edited what I write about in order to please you, Mr. Wilcox. I can make a reasonable assumption that all of us are writing what we think you will approve of simply to get that A we IB kids so truly desire. After all, its another tenth of our GPA we can get up if we get that A!
