28. From the Suggestion Box
Dear Teacher, prefibly Dear Friend,
All your doings are fair. I never found anyone like you anywheres at home or in school. (I lost 2 more lps)
McHabe is a jailer they should do away with him. Warning! this is my possitively last time I am writting!
I changed my mind, a teacher can be human. I suggest the Board of Education picks all young and pretty teachers like you, who really play ball with us, and not a bunch of old foggies.
Long live you!
Abollish prejudice. Abollish Miss Freedernburgs intervews they make me sick to my stomache. Like when she ask am I ashame where I live?
In these 'dread' times of 'Atoms' you remind me of another 'teacher' I once had in 'elementery'. She had the courage to laugh at a 'joke' even if it wasn't funny.
Too stuck up for your own good and have pets.
You think it's fair when a teacher takes off 5 points on a test just because I mispelled his name wrong? (Baringor).
You said we should sign our name to show we’re not afraid of our convinctions. Well I am.
I suggest only men teachers. There is one trait that overshadows all your good points and that is you are a female, and my natural instinct tells me there are no good females. The opposite sex and I have nothing in common whatsoever and I am very sorry you were not a man.
I am only in your Home Room, but I wish I had you for English. You told us not to mention names of teachers, well I have Mrs. L-w-s, her voice is so grading it makes my ears squint. Last term was no better, we had M-ss P-st-rf-ld, we had to make believe we were a TV pannel or a football team. With you maybe I could learn something but I'm dropping out of school anyhow so it's too late.
You convinced us you're the teacher.
Linda Rosen's got the Clap!
I happen to have another teacher for English ... I feel deep within me that there should be a deeper closeness between an English teacher and a pupil because the subject touches the very heart ... I am sure you're a good teacher too and quite attractive to look at. (I like the silver pin you wear on your gray jersy)
