Dear Teacher, prefibly Dear Friend,

All your doings are fair. I never found anyone like you anywheres at home or in school. (I lost 2 more lps)

Hoping to hear from you,

McHabe is a jailer they should do away with him. Warning! this is my possitively last time I am writting!

I changed my mind, a teacher can be human. I suggest the Board of Education picks all young and pretty teachers like you, who really play ball with us, and not a bunch of old foggies.

Long live you!

Abollish prejudice. Abollish Miss Freedernburgs intervews they make me sick to my stomache. Like when she ask am I ashame where I live?

Edward Williams, Esq.

In these "dread" times of "Atoms" you remind me of another "teacher" I once had in "elementery". She had the courage to laugh at a "joke" even if it wasn't funny.

You think it's fair when a teacher takes off 5 points on a test just because I mispelled his name wrong? (Baringor).

You said we should sign our name to show were not afraid of our convinctions. Well I am.

I suggest only men teachers. There is one trait that overshadows all your good points and that is you are a female, and my natural instinct tells me there are no good females. The opposite sex and I have nothing in common whatsoever and I am very sorry you were not a man.

I am only in your Home Room, but I wish I had you for English. You told us not to mention names of teachers, well I have Mrs. L-w-s, her voice is so grading it makes my ears squint. Last term was no better, we had M-ss P-st-rf-ld, we had to make believe we were a TV pannel or a football team. With you maybe I could learn something but I'm dropping out of school anyhow so it's too late.

You convinced us you're the teacher.

Guess Who

* * *

I happen to have another teacher for English ... I feel deep within me that there should be a deeper closeness between an English teacher and a pupil because the subject touches the very heart ... I am sure you're a good teacher too and quite attractive to look at. (I like the silver pin you wear on your gray jersy)

Alice Blake

Continue teaching myths and books of all lands. This is a good idea and I believe future generations will benefit by it. I wish also to commend you and to thank you for taking an interest in mine and the class as a whole's grammar.

You're a great dresser, you know just how to wear your cloths, especially your red suit. I have no other complaint.

* * *

Well, well! I don't mind bad teachers so much but some habbits they have drive me nuts! Like chewing their eyeglasses (Mr. Loomis) or sniffing their nose (Miss Pasterfield) or wearing the same thing every day (Mrs. Lewis)! Don't forget we have to look at them all period! Present company excluded, Ha-ha! Teachers should have a mirror in the back of the room so they could see how they look to us!

Lou Martin

No homework over week ends, s'il vous plais! From Friday to Monday I like to forget the whole thing!

Get lost & stay there.

Is it possible for you to teach Creative Writing next term?

You showed me that writing clearly means thinking clearly, and that there is nothing more important than communication.

Elizabeth Ellis

I wish I had you for Math (my favorite subject). But alas, we can not have our cake & eat it too.

Don't worry

We're behind you 85 %!

I like everything we do in class but I don't like reading books & myths too I don't like. P.S. I don't like grammer. Oral reports I don't care for. You forget we're not normal like the good schools.

A True Pupil

* * *

Lessons are pretty interesting, especially if you come to class. I suggest better attendance for me.

I can't take my eyes off you your so beautifull. You're just like my imaginary twin Roseanne. If I was a boy I wouldn't even care about English, I would just sit and stare at you. But I'm not a boy so Ill just have to suffer the consequents.
