That my is one thing 2 have always luagged about. & am in the 9 in Marade Jr. igh School at Robinson Springs. my subjects this year are English, spelling literature, math, algebra and incience and civice. my best grades are made in civics and my worst are maile in English 2 would like to ask you a quest ion. Why do we school hids have to learn about advertes, adjectives, nouns, pronouns, verbs, etc? W by can't we just learn about punctuation and captilization? To prove my point; have you ever had anyone come up to you and ask you what an adverb or and adjective was and how to useit? Our English teacher Mrs. Sara ziegler mays it helps you to read but to don't think so I would appreciate it if you would answer my question. Thanks again for the nice letter. Yours truly, Dear mr.
