Up The Down Staircase

17. From the Suggestion Box

I wish other teachers would be brave like you and put in a Suggestion Box. They're always telling us what's wrong with us, what about the other way around? Boy, would I like to tell them off. But you're OK even if you are a teacher.

(You said we don't have to sign our name)

Scram! Hit the road! Leave town! If you know what's good for you! (You asked for it!)

A Well Wisher

* * *

Don't think you'll get off so easy just because you speak nice and you don't seem scarred of us, last term we had a man teacher and we made him cry.

Yr (Emeny) Enemy

* * *

Not enough boys and too many girls in the room. But that's not your fault. Also some schools they have danceing in the cafeteria and they put on different things, why not? You only live once.

Linda Rosen

* * *

It was very interesting of you to give the compositions on My Best Friend, there are quite a few persons you've helped. Keep up the good work.

Harry A. Kagan (The Students Choice)

Being you're so young don't be so leniant, we take advantage, especially Joe Farrone, he must be your pet because he gives you so much trouble. Also give out more up to date books than the Oddesseys. They should rewrite the Oddessey over with more up to date incidence.

Failing

* * *

Can you make the chalk stop from squeeking?

Nervous

* * *

Please tell Lou Martin to quit showing off, he thinks he's so comic well I don't.

Fuk. Screw. Crap. Goddam. Nerts to you.

Unsinged

* * *

You ask for revelant matters only. Assemblys too boring. I always know what he's going to say (Clark). Show movies instead.

* * *

Don't try so hard, you'll live longer, sit down & relax when you teach.

* * *

I have many problems but won't burden you with them in this Box. They're not fit for human ears. Though you seem to be a very understandable person. By that I mean you understand us being not so old yourself. Too bad you're a teacher and pretty like my sister. I wish you were a plain person then we could be close.

Sitting near the window in this room I have caught a cold because there's a hole in it. Well life is like that, you have to pay for your pleasure, with cash or otherwise.

Fifth Row Last Seat

* * *

This school is run like a Army. The least little thing he (McHaber) get excited. He better watch his step, after all I pay his sallary with taxes!

Tax Payer

* * *

Linda Rosen—sex pot, Alice Blake—stuck up, and you like Joe Feroni, he's just asking for attention.

Neglected

* * *

You're lucky you're a women teacher, if it was a man he would of walked into something he didn't see coming his way, with a women my temper is controlled but a man doesn't last long. (This is the last time I am writting!)

Dont call the Roll so early.
