The Functional Classroom Monarchy
Storyboard Text
- Democracy
- Yeah, I'm going to have a headache for a week. It's cool to have freedom, but having to watch my back for an hour is going to get exhausting. Someone sneaking up and busting me in the head with a stool every day? No, thank you.

- Welcome to class!
- Assignment:Compare Democracy and Monarchy
- Where's the teacher? Wait, this isn't like that other class, is it?
- The one where you have to protect yourself all the time?No
- We were like that at first. Then we got tired of it and created some rules. Each of us looks up something that achieves the goal on the board. Then we teach each other. If we need to make a decision, we vote on what we want. Majority rules.
- Then we vote to see what the punishment will be.We have basic rules. You should have as much freedom as possible without infringing on others' freedom. You should be able to learn freely without someone interfering. And, you have a right to your property. So, no stealing.
- What if someone does steal your stuff... or... busts you over the head with a stool?
- As long as you follow the rules and have the same goal as we do.If you don't want to learn then the other class is probably more for you. We had to kick out a few people or send them to the office.
- Busting someone over the head interferes with rule one and two.
- And this works?
