Answer:
Dear ______,
I am reaching out to. you today to discuss a multitude of problems that are occuring within the school. I feel that these issues have reached an extent to which they can no longer be ignored and must be addressed with both seriousness and urgency.
My primary concern is the deteriorating mental health conditions that have boomed in recent years. I believe that students need to have more and easier access to counseling or maybe even just a quiet place where they can rest and take a break. The adolescence is the most important aspect of shaping a human being, and if our mental health is not treated and taken seriously, then we too will slowly loose ourselves.
Additionally, I find that another issue is lack of time given for kids to have a social life outside of school. We students spend five days a week and seven hours a day in school. Not to mention the countless hours we spend at home doing homework and studying for tests. It is a gruesome cycle and causes kids an immense amount of stress. To combat this, I believe that the school weeks should be four days, with 7-8 hours each day. I believe that the fifth day should instead be a study hall day for kids to complete homework assignments and study so that they do not need to cram it all on the weekend. This will also be able to give kids a break and allow them to maintain a social life whilst also staying caught up in their education
Finally, I believe that passing periods need to be extended. There is approximately five minutes to move from one class to the next and that is simply not enough time. We are expected to have a snack, use the restroom, get water, and get to class all in that short time frame. It is physically impossible; not to mention that we will be condemned if we do happen to be late to class. Bathroom lines are long, the halls are crowded, and sometimes we don't want to have to shove our food down our throats. Please consider extending the passing periods to at least 8 minutes. This will give us time to take care of all our necessities whilst also allowing for us to have a much needed break between our studies.
I sincerely thank you for your time,
