Part D: Checklist for Style – Local Newspaper

Using the “Checklist
for Style” on the following page (also found in Chapter 11 of your textbook),
rewrite the following letter to a local newspaper.

In the absence of definitive studies regarding the
optimum length of the school day, I can only state my personal opinion
based upon observations based by me and upon teacher observations that have
been conveyed to me. Considering the length of the present school day, it
is my opinion that the day is excessive length-wise for most elementary
pupils, certainly for almost all of the primary children.

To find my answer to the problem requires
consideration of two ways in which the problem may be viewed. One way
focuses upon the needs of the children, while the other focuses upon
logistics, transportation, scheduling, and other limits imposed by the
educational system. If it is necessary to prioritize these two ideas, it
would seem reasonable to give the first consideration to the primary reason
for the very existence of the system, i.e., to meet the educational needs
of the children the system is trying to serve.
