I'm a student at Hibbingo High School. As a cheerleader and homecoming queen, I want to represent the needs of all of students at Hibbingo, especially the populars. I think we should stick with the FPF because it prepares us for the real world outside of high school.

I am a parent of a student at Hibbingo High School. He is a very creative student and can best express himself in nontraditional ways. I support the multi-genre paper and think that the five-paragraph essay form does not suit my son's style. My husband, Dan Healy, agrees with me.

I am a proud parent in support of the multigenre papers. My son takes after her mother, and is free spirited and expressive. I see the 5 paragraph as too formulaic and rigid to be taken any further than a mere 5 paragraph paper.
