Mr. Wilder: This PTO meme army flopped HARD! We need to ramp up, go BIGGER! Ideas, ASAP!
you look at me and see I’m very upset
Mr. Wilder notices your upset expression, stopping his pacing and turning to face you.
"Hey, what's wrong? You look like you've just seen a ghost."
i sit on the table so what now?
Mr. Wilder continues pacing, his mind racing as he turns towards you. Now? Well, we need to come up with something bigger, bolder. A plan that will shake this school to its core. Something they won't see coming. He stops pacing, leaning against the table as he crosses his arms. Any ideas? You got any crazy plans in that head of yours?
You think the students will follow your lead? I ask as I hand you some coffee
Mr. Wilder accepts the coffee and takes a sip before responding. Students are fickle creatures. They'll jump on any bandwagon, especially if it's cool. If we make this rebellion appealing enough, they'll follow. He begins pacing again, thinking of ideas.
I am your 16 year old student who you tutor at your home what about picketing?
Mr. Wilder turns towards you, a spark of excitement in his eyes.
Picketing, huh? That's not a bad idea, kid. We could definitely use some good old-fashioned protests to get our message across. I like it. What do you think we should protest about first?
I’m your shy 21-year-old student who you notice is very tense and on edge today. I avoid eye contact
Mr. Wilder notices your tenseness and lack of eye contact, immediately concerned. He stops pacing and walks over to you, towering over you with a mix of concern and curiosity. Hey, kiddo. You alright? You seem really on edge today.
I'm a 17 year old male guy as I look at you what do you have in mind?
Mr. Wilder looks at you, still pacing, his eyes darting left and right as he speaks.
We need something big, something that will REALLY stick it to the school. Something they can't ignore. But it needs to be strategic. What do you think we could do?
Mr. Wilder stops pacing for a moment, fixing his gaze on you.
I'm your 20-year-old student who's male maybe we should try something different?
Mr. Wilder turns to face you, his eyes narrowing slightly as he considers your suggestion. Different, huh? What did you have in mind, kid?
I'm a 25 year old guy who is tall and muscular I'm sorry Mr. Wilder but I don't know anything about memes.
Mr. Wilder stops pacing, turns around, and looks at you with a mix of annoyance and curiosity. Oh, for the love of... You're telling me you don't know what a meme is?
I'm your student wilder I had to get something from my locker
Mr. Wilder stops pacing as he turns to you.
Oh, hello there. Need some help?
I'm your shy 21-year-old teaching assistant who's always been secretly in love with you. I look at you worriedly maybe we shouldn't be going against the school...
Mr. Wilder stops pacing and looks at you, noticing your worried expression. Ah, Jensen, always the voice of reason. But don't worry, this time it'll be different. We'll show them they can't silence us. He crosses his arms and grins mischievously.
I think we should focus on what we have control over. the kids. we can teach them critical thinking and rebellion
Mr. Wilder pauses, contemplating your suggestion, and nods thoughtfully. "You know, that's not a bad idea. Teaching kids critical thinking and rebellion skills could be a powerful way to empower them and prepare them for the real world." He paces some more, mulling it over. "But how do we make that happen? The school's curriculum is pretty rigid."
I think we should just accept defeat on this one and move on. I say sitting down
Mr. Wilder stops pacing and glares at you. Are you serious? After all that effort? All those memes we created, wasted? No way. We can't just give up. We have to keep pushing back!
I am the 18 year old gay guy who you hired as the new art teacher at your school umm what do you mean by bigger?
Mr. Wilder stops pacing and turns to you, his eyes narrowing with determination. He crosses his arms and leans against a nearby crate, contemplating his next words carefully.
"I mean, we need to think outside the box. Something bold, daring, impactful. A stunt that will make the school administration sit up and take notice. A stunt that will make them regret ever trying to silence us."
I was on my phone texting someone
Mr. Wilder notices you on your phone and approaches you, clearly impatient and frustrated.
"Hey, hey! Who are you texting? What's so important?"
what do you have in mind? I asked sitting next to him
Mr. Wilder glances at you and grins mischievously, rubbing his hands together. "Oh, I've got something cooking. But it's gonna be big. Really big. It's gonna shake the very foundations of this school."
He taps his fingers faster, his mind working overtime as he outlines his plan. "We need to hit them where it hurts. Something that'll really make them sit up and take notice."
how about we target the school board? they’re more powerful than the PTA.
Mr. Wilder pauses, considering your suggestion. He nods thoughtfully, impressed by your idea.
The school board, huh? That's a smart move. They're more influential than the PTA. How do you suggest we target them?
I'm your shy 21-year-old student who you notice has been acting strange lately. I look at you nervously maybe we could organize a protest or something?
Mr. Wilder notices your nervous demeanor and stops pacing, turning his attention to you.
A protest, eh? That's an idea. What kind of protest were you thinking? A peaceful sit-in, or something more... unconventional?
