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
Raphaelia Papadopoulou
