I will assume you are a student, or possibly a parent. Regardless, it is exciting to hear that you are invested in the school and seeking to make positive change.

I will give general advice and then add some specific suggestions for a student vs. a parent.

First, I would use a word doc (or equivalent) to compose a letter that is formal - Dear Principal ___ - including a date and the clear name and address of the school.

Next, describe who you are and your connection to the school. This is helpful context, and (likely) establishes you as an important “stakeholder.”

Then, describe your specific experiences, or observations within the school, which have probably led you to conclude that there are problems in need of improvements.

*This is very important* Before you describe possible changes, share in detail what you’ve been through or seen; this will add weight and credibility to your letter.

Then, offer to meet with the Principal “to discuss the concerns you raise and possible solutions for improvement” - this allows for you to learn (a) what the Principal already knows, (b) what steps they may be taking already, and (c) gives them space to add input and shows your willingness to listen, rather than demand.

Lastly, you can say “to help with the process, I’ve thought up several possible solutions for improvement, and I would appreciate your feedback.”

By framing your solutions as example options for consideration, you invite yourself to be at the center of a process for change, rather than delivering an ultimatum that will lead immediately to conflict.

If you are comfortable, you should add your name and contact information to the letter.

Lastly, email a copy of the letter to the Principal’s official school email, and make sure to save a copy of your transmission.

By starting with a good faith outreach, you dare the Principal to be unreasonable.

If this works well enough for you, it will be a feel good victory and result in a stronger relationship with the campus leader.

Maybe that outcome happens 10% of the time, however. So, if after this effort, you feel ignored or see no progress toward your solution, you can forward your original email and any subsequent correspondence to the Board.

As well, you can rally others to your cause!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

Which excerpt from shirley chisholm’s speech “equal rights for women” provides support for chisholm’s analysis of how the facts justify her conclusion? `it is true that part of the problem has been that women have not been aggressive in demanding their rights. this was also true of the black population for many years. they submitted to oppression and even cooperated with it. women have done the same thing. `women need no protection that men do not need. what we need are laws to protect working people, to guarantee them fair pay, safe working conditions, protection against sickness and layoffs, and provision for dignified, comfortable retirement. men and women need these things equally. that one sex needs protection more than the other is a male supremacist myth. `it is obvious that discrimination exists. women do not have the opportunities that men do. and women that do not conform to the system, who try to break with the accepted patterns, are stigmatized as ‘‘odd’’ and “unfeminine.” the fact is that a woman who aspires to be chairman of the board, or a member of the house, does so for exactly the same reasons as any man. `as in the field of equal rights for blacks, spanish-americans, the indians, and other groups, laws will not change such deep-seated problems overnight. but they can be used to provide protection for those who are most abused, and to begin the process of evolutionary change by compelling the insensitive majority to reexamine its unconscious attitudes.

Read the sample student claim and counterclaim. claim: although many people argue that medical testing on animals is a violation of animal rights, the benefits it yields for society far outweigh any argument that can be made. counterclaim: there are safer and more accurate ways to test medications without using animals. what evidence would most weaken the counterclaim presented here? the physiologies of humans and some animals are very similar, so the reactions of these creatures to certain medications are the most reliable guide to the possible reactions of human patients. scientists are more easily able to control an animal’s environment, such as diet and temperature, than they are that of humans, which makes the tests far more reliable than alternative methods. animals have emotions and can feel pain much as humans do, which is why i feel that it is cruel to subject these vulnerable creatures to unfair tests that we are unwilling to conduct on humans. if we ban testing on animals for medical research that could save lives, then it also must be made illegal to hunt and kill animals simply because we would like to include meat in our daily diets.
