"If you don't, I'll kill myself just like your son did, you meanie!"
Oh, I'm pretty sure she coached the kids and read the letters. Do you suppose there was even one letter that said "my parents said they could take me to Disneyland or even send me to private school, if only they weren't paying such high taxes"? or "My teacher said your son killed himself, but why does she think our school budget had something to do with it?" For some reason, I don't think so.
But I do wish they'd print the text of just ONE of the offending letters. I'd just like to see one.
Me too.
Me too.
Me too.
Me too.
Excerpts from several of the letters:
"I'm very sorry that Mr. Grusendorf's son had a bad experience, but that's no reason to make everybody work harder, cut field trips, go to school more days, make our parents buy our textbooks and make the schoolchildren go to private schools and pay thousands of dollars a year."
"Just because you don't like schools because of what happened to your son it doesn't mean you have to punish us. Because it's not are fault. I don't mean to be rude but you don't have to get all offensive."
"Your legislation is stupid because you just blame one teacher you blame them all. You have a brain that does not think. So never blame something to a teacher Kent Grusendorf. So start making your brain think."
"Another thing is that I hate Grusendorf because he dislikes teachers ... I have a couple of question for you if you read my paper or letter it doesn't matter. My first question is why are you doing all of this is it for revenge or is it for torcher?"
