Dear Mr. President and /or staff,
I am consulting you about getting some
trees on our playground It would help so
many kids! We have over 700 kids, but there
are no trees on the playground l think there
many reasons for this Dior example, it
would provide us with shade, oxygen, and
even help us stop the greenhouse effect as
Thank you.
the old saying goes every little but counts.

Dear Mr. President,
CHOICE 2000
I would like to tell you that I really think that your
idea about allowing families to choose the school that they
send their kids to is a really great idea! But since you are
in the process of changing education around, I would like to
tell you about my school.
I went to school in the Niskayuna school district. I
loved that district, both in the elementary and middle
schools. The middle school was a wonderful school. They had
team teaching, and they did whatever they could to let kids
have a high self esteem. The team teachers as well as the
other teachers cared greatly for each of their students. I
had a really nice social studies teacher named Mrs.
STEACHER
Polsinelli, who did whatever she could to make kids happy.
She was very nice to me, because I was constantly being
picked on by the other kids. She also made her class
enjoyable, and made the things she taught interesting.
Usually, most kids think social studies is very boring.
When they had Mrs. Polsinelli, they really enjoyed learning
American history. I had Mrs. Polsinelli for two years,
because she taught both sixth and seventh grade. (The team I
was on both years was mixed between sixth and seventh grade.)
Niskayuna had one small problem. The boys' gym teachers
PAN READ THIS
didn't like anyone who wasn't good in gym. I was terrible in
gym. They always got mad at me when I made a mistake, and
yelled at me. Near the end of seventh grade, I had that
problem solved.
We had a very small house in Niskayuna. We needed a
bigger house. We looked all over, and finally found a house
in Malta, New York. The house was in the Shenendehowa school
district. A few weeks before seventh grade ended for me, I
asked some of my Niskayuna teachers about Shenendehowa. They
said it was a good school. We moved into the house over the
summer. I couldn't wait to see what Shenendehowa would be
like.
They put me in Koda middle school. After the first day,
I hated that school. They didn't have locker breaks
(Niskayuna did). They gave the entire school four minutes
between classes. In those four minutes, they think that you
can go to your locker when it is on the other end of the
building from all your other classes. If you get into the
class while the class bell is ringing, you get instant
detention. They use any excuse possible to give kids
detention. It says in the rules that the employees of
Read,
Shenendehowa are not to use physical violence on students.
I
have seen the aids pull kids out of their chairs, and let
them fall on the floor. I have a shirt that says "Oh no
Monday again!". One time I was wearing that shirt and I
walked by an aid. The aid grabbed my arm and squeezed it,
2
and pulled me over to the other aids, and they all started
laughing about that shirt. They said it was funny, and they
wanted to know where I bought it. They didn't insult it, but
they didn't need to squeeze my arm. I have also seen the
aids throw things at students. Those aids constantly find
any excuse possible to punish kids.
In that school, you are guilty until proven innocent,
and when you are proven innocent, they decide to punish you
for trying to prove them wrong. Our bus has five kids that
go to my middle school, and the rest go to the other middle
school. Several times, the bus brought us to school late.
The attendance aid didn't believe it was the bus driver's
fault, because there were so few kids that go to my school
from that bus route. You have to write a reason why you are
late in a book when you come in late. I wrote "bus was late"
or "late bus". One month later, the dean called me to his
office to yell at me for being late. He told me if I was
ever late again, he would give me detention. I explained to
him about the bus making me late. He didn't care. The only
thing I could do was call my parents on the pay phone. My
father, (who is a retired police officer) called the dean,
and they didn't want to let him talk to the dean. They only
let him speak to the dean after he told the secretary that he
was a retired police officer. The dean was mad because my
father told him that when he worked for the jail, he
investigated first, and then accused somebody. The dean was
upset that my father called, because he wanted to give me
detention since I hadn't had detention yet that year. At
that point, we thought the problem was taken care of.
Two days later, we got a copy of the paper sent to the
principal's office about my being late. It showed the dates
I was late, and it said that I told the aid I slept late and
missed the bus on each of those days. The paper said that if
I ever came late again, I would get detention. The next day,
my mother and I went to see the vice principal. He didn't
see why I thought that getting a detention was so bad, and
didn't see why it mattered whether I deserved it or not.
After I left, he went on and on, flattering my mother,
telling her how I'll have a great future and all sorts of
other things. He decided not to give me the detention. The
bus got me late a few more times. My mother took me to
school, and got me there at exactly 9:00. School starts at
9:01. Two days later, I was called into the vice principal's
office and He not only yelled at me for the same days as
last time, but also the time that I was brought to school at
9:00. Again, the reasons were changed. He got mad at me
when I told him the aid changed those dates. My mom had to
see him again, and he didn't like it that she came, and that
she didn't let him give me detention. So far, he hasn't
bothered me for being late to school.
Last year, my gym teacher (at Shenendehowa), was my
3
second favorite teacher. He was the only Shenendehowa
teacher who wanted kids to have a high self esteem. Even
though- I didn't do good in gym, he told me to keep trying,
and he never picked on me like the Niskayuna gym teachers.
He gave me a good grade in gym, because he knew I was doing
the best I could do. I wanted to have him this year, but I
got the other gym teacher.
I know this letter is long, but I needed to give you the
background on this school. The gym teacher that I have this
year (not the good one) is Mr. Skinner. He is the reason I
am writing this letter to you. Mr. Skinner is also a health
teacher. I didn't have him for health last year. Last year,
he spoke for the other health teacher's classes as well as
his own, in back-to school night. He was super sweet in
front of the parents. My mom thought he was really nice.
On the first day of gym class with Mr. Skinner, he
walked into the gym, and his first words were "The Bu sh
stops here!". I know teachers are not allowed to swear like
that. Then he started calling the class pigs, slobs, and
retards. He had no right to do that, and he doesn't even
know anyone in the class. Then, every other sentence was "I
don't give a sh about this I don't give a sh about
that" Then he said, "If you don't like me, I don't care
because I don't like you, and if you have a problem with
that, see your Congressman, because I don't want your
opinion. As far as I'm concerned, you don' have an opinion!'
He directed this to the whole class. Then he said that
anyone who gets a low grade in gym is a retard. Then after
calling us pigs, and slobs a few more times, he went into the
locker room, to go over the rules again. He said to go in
and sit down in the first aisle. There was only enough room
on the benches for ten kids to sit. Everyone else had to
stand. The teacher walked in, and said, (these are the exact
words he used) "What are you pigs doing taking up the entire
bench, while the slobs have to stand against the wall?
There S enough room for everyone on the floor. That's where
you're all going to sit!" Then he started laughing in a mean
way. The whole time, he acted as if he enjoyed the fact that
everyone was scared to death of him. Then he said that
anyone with asthma doesn't have an excuse not to run. The
other gym teacher says that anyone with asthma can only run
half as much as the rest of the class. I really don' think
that teacher should even be teaching.
My father called the principal about this teacher. The
principal didn't believe my father, and said that the teacher
probably said that he didn t want us to act like pigs and
slobs. All the principal did was defend that teacher. He
said that the teacher has been there for twenty years, and
they ve never had a complaint. Nobody has ever complained
because they ve been scared of Mr. Skinner. This teacher
demands respect from the students, but he thinks he can treat
4
us like filth. School is not supposed to be like that. The
only thing the principal cares about is whether the teacher
physically assaulted us or not. He doesn't care that the
teacher is insulting us. He doesn' t believe us, and I think
that Mr. Skinner will deny it, anyway. The school officials
are all like that in Shenendehowa. They never want to listen
to the parents, and they like treating the kids like dirt,
and stepping all over them. I used to like education in
Niskayuna. Now I hate school because of Shenendehowa. I
still get A's & B's, but I can't stand school anymore. Is
there anything I can do about it? The guidance counselors
don' care either. All they do is change the subject when
there's a problem. I think that the entire school district
is too big. They have over ten thousand kids in their
7 too
big
district, and they cover five towns. Please send me some
advice about what I should do about this gym teacher and his
insults. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
I'm sorry it's so long.

Dear President Bush,
This is a letter to inform you of what is going on in
the USA. You are so busy trying to be President of the World
that you don't realize what is going on right under your
own nose. In Dinwiddie, VA, at a football game, someone started
shooting at everyone. In Eden, NC, a man stabbed an old lady
with a butcher knife in the parking lot of Eden Mall. Don't
forget Jeffery Dahmer. And the Little Rascals Day Care event.
I know that Saddam Hussein was a threat to the US and that
the Soviet Union may have an effect on us in maybe two
or three years, but you should take care of your own country
before you worry about the world. If you don' t, we
may not be around for the Hitlers and Husseins to be a
threat to I also think that you ought to spend less money
on war and weapons and spend more on education. These kids
that are the students of today will be the leaders of tomorrow.
Do you want a bunch of poorly educated idiots running this
country in about 25 or 30 years?I don 't think SO. I know
I don't.
You promised a kinder, gentler nation, and before your
term is over you go to warewith Iraq Where is all that
kindness and gentleness?I want to know.

The past couple times that I have written, you have sent me back a signed photo of yourself

collection of some of them and I am so proud of it. was wondering if you had any kind of

I am only 14, I am still concerend about this new man that is in
power. I was alarmed but not suprised that Mr. Gorbachev steped
down. I think that there is going to be many changes in the Soviet
government. I also think that this situation afects our government
as well as theirs. This morning I heard that two other government
officials resigned or have taken ill as they put it. You have my
support to do what is necessary. I hope that this mess is over

blacks to be able to get the kind job
they want. What I mean is to put more black people
inthe spot where there are abt of white people. But
where the blacks are now, et them stay where they
are at. Now you are probably thinking wheren are the white
people going to that were kicked out going to
once go do where that there ard too many go. They are
you it will be 50/50. (1/2 blacks. blacks So +
1/2 whites.)

Dear Sir:
I am a Poynter ninth grader and I have some concerns that I would
like to make known to you.
First of all, I am aware of the environmental garbage problem.
Each person creates approximately 5 pounds of garbage daily. That
is disgusting. My children will have to put up with this HUGE
mess we are creating. But I have a solution for the problem.
There could be a law requiring the act of recycling all materials
that are recyclable. I am aware many cities have curb-side pick
up and many cities have recycling umits at their dump sites.
If you are as concerned about the environmental garbage problem
as I am you 11 do something about this ugly problem facing us.
Second, I'm concerned about my education. My school's budget
keeps getting cut back further and further every year. How are we
supposed to learn without money to pay for supplies? The high
school I will be attending next year juat had to cut back one
elective for students' because they didn't have enough money to
pay the teachers for that extra time. I'm planning on being a
veterinarian and the best that Ican be. But to do that I need all
the electives I can get ahold of if not more. If my education is
being cut back because of the budget. How am I supposed to be the
best I can be if I can't learn everything I need to know? My
education is extremly important to me because what I am as
an adult makes up the future of the United States.
I also care very deeply about animals and their rights. Too many
animals are killed for medicine and its done cruelly. Rabbits'
eyes are pryed open and an experimental drug forced into the animal's
eye. Isn't this cruelity to animals and isn't that illegal?
Also, dogs and cats are used and are held down while some horrible
drug is forced into them via shot, cream and wther mean way. Sir,
I believe that the only way is the matural way using exercises and
massagesinstead. You may say that this practice "saves human lives"
Butit ends the animals' lives or makes them misersble. These
animals are in agony and great pain.
I'm also concerned about the homeless situation. These people go
hungry and live under bridges and in boxes. This is unhealthy and
sad. These peeple don't have enough money to rent or buy a house
or some sort of shelter. I have an excellent solution for this
large scale problem. There is a house next door to me that the
owner can't rent because of its poor condition. He counts it on
hix taxes as an "Income Loss." You as the government could require
him to fix up this house and find a tenant within a fair amount of
time. If he hasn't found a tenant by the set date, then you as the
government could require him to allow a homeless person (s) to
live there giving them a place to live saftly and a place to look
for a job. As soon as the tenant found a job (within a fair amount
of time) they could begin to pay rent. This way my neighbor would
have a tenant and the government could reduce the amount of homeless
by requiring all homes, such as the one next door to me, to be
fixed up in a similar manner. This would reduce the homeless
population and imp ove the U.S.'s streets by reducing the problem.
Thank you Sir, for reading this and for listening to The United
States youth speak. I would greatly appriciate a prompt reply.

Dear Mr. President George Bush,
Greetings, my name is Neil Rubin and I am a 10th grader in
Orange County's new University High School in Orlando, Fl.
Beginning this school year, our high school has started
recycling the paper we use. This is a good idea, and I think
all schools should start doing this. Although we may be
recycling our used paper, we still use "new" paper for our
copiers. I feel that we should start using recycled paper
for our copies. This will help our environment and start
encouraging more students and teachers to recycle at home.
Thank you and I hope you write back.
Sincerely,
WRL

Mr. Bush
My name is David Victory, and I've written you once
before. Last time it was about abortion, this time it
is about the environmental pollution that is going
on today. I've founded a group in service to the
environment called The Youth Environmetal Services Inc.
In cooperation with The International Green Cross,
founded by Harry Martin Jr.
I'm writting this letter because I amsworried about the
planet we live on today. Environmental Pollution is a term
that refers to all the ways by which people pollute their
surroundings. Examples of this are air pollution, water
pollution, soil pollution, noise pollution, and solid wastes.
If we don't do something about this soon, the earth, and
everything on it will die!
Such ways to get rid of pollution are recycling and reusing.
I would like to know your opinion on this issue and the ways
we could stop pollution. Thank you for your time and efforts.
September 3, 1991
It's got to be done by someone, why not you and me.
Thank you very much.
Sincerly

Dear President Bush:
my name is Jeff Rivera, I'm 15 years old, and
I'm in 9th grade attending Poynter Junior High.
It is because of a series of discussions abo Jt
our government and this nations pro blems in
our "Local government" class, that / have
decided to write you about a concern of
(S.V.)
mine. TRADE- Really, it's the meat of our nation,
and with the results of the newly forming
Soviet Union it is really going to have an
affect on our nation, but then
there's
a
problem. Japan, Holland, Hong Kong and
Great Britain! Not to say they are the
problems we face in themselves - they are
all very successful, therefore, in their nation; -
butits their trade !!
The U.S takes in SO much of their products,
(CONT'D)
over and over with no product in return to
them, so we are in natuonal debt and they
profit from it, why don't We do more to adapt
to their circumst ances and develope more
quality products to sell. / mean, products
in themselves, not just raw material!
It is especially true in Oregon. we sell
Lumber to Japan they make products and
send it back with a price double of what
its worth.
Anyone would admit that they are very
smart wokies and if their system works
well with them why wouldn't it work for
the U.S. infact, it would work even better
because we could self supply our own
raw materials and yet also it would give
Americans more jobs, and may Solve the
unemployment problems, we have.
If we are to continue as a nation in the
path we are going, we Will be more of a
Japan States" rather than an United States.
As a young man / don't want to have to live
in a land where debt is nigher than our
trade. Please consider my concern the next
time you make a maj or decision affecting
the future of thu national on and its people and
their economy. Thank you,

I'm really concerned about our world.

That's why am writing to you. I think Russia should
Unim
have democracy, because people havea night to vote
for what they want,
I am also concerned about endangered species,
We have to do something or a lot of anmals will
become extinct like the dinosaurs and dodo birds, another
problem we should be concerned about is trees.
Trees should not be cut down they are

Dear President Bush,
cl have never written to you before,
but it has been my dream to write
to you! My name is Rachel Hoefflin
and cl have a friend named wes
Uamasek. We think that we have found
out the mistery of the Bermuda thiangle.
We think that the current is the main
soulition to the Bermuda triangle mistery.
We think that because when people sleep on
the Bermuda clobands, during the might
the current takes them away. so thats
howthe sailboats dissapear! It's the same
way with airplanes. One way to lose cargo
is to have the shipe run into icelurgs! Do
you think we solved the Bermuda
triangle mistery? Yes or no? (write on
another piece of paper)
