| Dear Ms. Wagner, | |
| I am writing in response to your request about | |
| our opinion on your decision to make some changes | |
| in our school's rales. I think we have to make | |
| some charges in ralles in order to make our | |
| school environment friendlier to students. | |
| To begin with, a basic rule in our school is, | |
| if you are late, you will be punished. It is a | |
| rule that really stresses kids out, because | |
| they have to wake up extremely early in the | |
| morning and do everything really fast. This is really | |
| hard, especially for teenagers who need to have a | |
| good sleep because both their body and brain | |
| start to develop and sleep helps. But since they | |
| have to wake up that early, they do not | |
| have enough sleep and that may affect their | |
| schoolwork too. Additionally, sometimes when students | |
| are being late, it is not even their fault. Most | |
| of the parents work and go through that rush | |
| too so in order to not be late at work, they | |
| prefer to let their kid be late at school. So, it | |
| is unfair to punish students without being their | |
| fault. | |
| Secondly, another rule that should be | |
| changed is having one excursion a year. I thinks | |
| there must be more than one excursion every | |
| year since an excursion can be both entertaining | |
| and educational for schoolchildren. Interesting | |
| excursions could be visits in museums, there we | |
| could learn lots of useful information about | |
| the past and our culture or even help us to | |
| be better students in history. Another nice | |
| excursion could be doing enviromental activities | |
| in nature. This way, we could learn about | |
| our environment and how to protect it. | |
| Summing up, I think our school would | |
| be better if we changed these rules. I hope | |
| you consider my suggestion and make the | |
| right changes for our good! | |
| Yours faithfully | |
