Dear Principal.
My name is John Smith, Senior Prefect, and I come, through this letter, to humbly ask for the integration of two important elements in the classroom, which, I believe, will form very beneficial habits for students, if they are promoted by teachers.
I believe that one of the most important skills, not only in academic life, but in social life as a whole, is the ability to interpret text. Unfortunately, I have noticed that many students have flaws in this ability and are functionally illiterate, because, although they can read, they cannot understand what they read. I believe that it would be very beneficial if teachers encouraged reading and indicated texts that should be commented, with a certain frequency, in the classroom.
The other element that I come to indicate is the execution of debates, as this will allow the students to learn to argue in a coherent and correct way, besides that it would stimulate the students to respect divergent opinions and to know how to act in a cultured way when contradicted.
If possible, I would like to arrange a meeting with you, where these and more elements can be better explained.
Thank you for your time and I await your response.
Regards
John Smith.
Senior Prefect
