DON'T GET HIGH AND WASTE EDUCATION

Editor, The News:

Now is the time where students are getting started on the school year. I am
an 18-year-old graduate from Maple Ridge secondary school. I am writing
this letter in concern about the amount of education students are taking
in. In my past five years of secondary school, I've notice the amount of
poor work habits among the students. I've witnessed students cheating,
skipping classes, mouthing off teachers, smoking marijuana, coming to
school hung over, and a lot of other disturbing behaviours.

Principals and teachers are getting a lack of respect also; they are here
to help us reach our future goals.

School is a great place to learn, so let's take this for granted and put
full dedication to the great place to focus on our studies, school.
