Mr. Michael McMillan
I am a spokeperson for the No Child Left Behind act. I am here to remind the Hibbingo school board of their federal obligations and advocate for those educational practices that will help schools meet their NCLB requirements, such as teaching the five-paragraph essay form.

Is the FPT the only way for students to be equally evaluated in standardized testing situations?

Dear Board Member Ho,
I would like to take this time to show my support for the FPF. I know that you are a very influential member of the board and community. It would be a great benefit to the school if we could retain the FPF. Go Tigers!

Dear sir,
Is there not a way to make the federal and state standards work with a multigenre papers? To support the 5 paragraph essay based on suggesting that it's federally mandated is a cop-out in my opinion.

But do you think accepting this form is the best way to actually teach our students to survive in the real world? While it may be the most broadly taught form, maybe it is time to challenge this status quo. Does encouraging one, stagnate form actually limit students critical thinking skills?

Spend a little more time actually in a school or classroom and that might enable you to see that the 5 paragraph essay is too rigid and limiting. But oh yeah, you're too busy chasing the mighty dollar and spending you're salary at the strip club. Not that I was at the strip club and saw you there or anything. I just heard.
