Sample letter : Dear Editor: I would like to reply to the article “helping and learning “in your last newsletter. I agree with some ideas and disagree with others. The article said that student should be allowed to take time to help others, I think it is a good idea, because that can make us learn to care about others. But I don’t think students should be allowed to help teach young students, because they are not old enough. I disagree that students should be allowed to join more volunteering work, because they have to pay more attention to their homework and schoolwork. Yours Mary
