Letter To The Editor – A Student’s Point Of View

October 31, 2008 By eastwickpress

To the Editor,

Ode To The Berlin School Board

Oh, Lord I beg of you. Save me from this torment. I sit in the crowd and listen, but my mind screams in protest. These morons love to talk. They can talk for hours and actually say nothing. Yet people like them. People respect them. How? Why? There is no rhyme or reason to this madness. It is a complex, incomplete puzzle that will probably never be finished. It seems to be missing a few pieces if you know what I mean.

This is insanity! I’m not listening╔All I hear is blah, blah, blah. OBJECTION! No wonder they get nothing accomplished. Round and round and round, that is all they do and then they have the nerve to say that they didn’t get anything done. Are they serious!?! Of course they’re not going to get anything done. They don’t say ANYTHING! I’m getting dizzy.

Thank you! Someone intelligent is actually talking. I mean really talking. Not blah, blah, blah. I don’t remember this, let’s review, I don’t agree, I don’t understand. I. I. I. Don’t they realize that this isn’t about them. This is about US. This is about EVERYONE, not just them. If they don’t understand, WHY ARE THEY HERE!

Very frustrated but sincerely,

Phoebe L. Paine
