Teachers these days are either strict or
pleasant.  Most give you a fair amount of
homework, while others drown you with
assignments that are impossible to finish the
next day.  The main reason why most students
fail a class is because they forget to turn the
homework in or other activities like sports make
it hard for them to finish it.  

So, I am writing this letter to persuade
teachers to understand how much they ask of
their students while they pile on the homework.  
I am sure that by assigning less homework more
students will become better educated and the
number of teens dropping out of school will
decrease.  The number of teens that drop out of
school is one thousand eight hundred sixty eight
per day.

When I was in the sixth grade, I had a new
principal who when giving her speech of how she
planned to run the school announced that she was
decreasing the amount of homework teachers can
give.  After that, I could tell by the expressions
on most peoples' faces that they already loved
the new principal.  After that, the students
continued to learn during the school hours and
still had time in the evening for play.  Thus, I
feel this is how all school systems should run.
The less homework students are give, the better
for the teachers and the students.  In
conclusion, this is the reason I believe that
homework should stop coming in stacks and
start coming one by one.

Drama, drama, drama!  What can be an more
juvenile?  Everywhere you look, from
elementary to middle to high school, there is
always drama.  Why?  Is it for attention?  Is
it for meanness?  Or is it for popularity?  I
think it's for all of these reasons.  An
example of drama is when girls are talking to
boys about other people so they will like
them.  Another example is rumors.  If it's for
meanness, it's also for attention.  And the
whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing.  They say
they are "going out" or "dating".  They're not
dong any of that stuff.

Are we ever going to stop drama, though?  
Probably not.  Because there are many things
about drama that we cannot stop.  Like
passing a note to a friend that's personal.  
Then, that spreads around school.  Now, we
can't stop that.  That's drama, I think.  No
one likes drama.  It's harsh.  Even the people
who start it.  But what would you do to stop it
for yourself?  I would just ignore it.  Leave it
alone.  Drop it.  Forget about it.  There is
nothing else I would do about it except that.  
Personally.

So if you don't like drama, good.  If you do,
forget you!  But who does?  What would you do
about drama?  Most of all, definitely
IGNORE the worst.  Backstabbing friends.
