Dear respective community board,
ReplyDeletei am writing this letter in support of option 2. option 2 is the perfect choice to decide. i do have some strong reasons behind this. One is the biggest reason is safety of crossing highway. there is a highway between our neighborhood and the school. Undoubtedly there is a big risk to let the kids to cross that highway. Besides this we have an school in our side. So, its basically right choice is option 2. i really expect from you to understand the concern.
I have same opinion with you. Highway it's dangerous even to us. Furthermore, it's between school and neighborhood. It's really bad to our kids. Like you said, it's really good decision for our kids :)
DeleteYou raised some good, concise points here, Araf.

ReplyDeleteTo whrom it may concern,
Dear Community Board, has the option 2 say it's important to have your child going to school in your neighbor. It's more safe to have your child In a public school not to far from your community has the option 2 declare. Otherwise to have them crossing an highway where they can get hurt by a truck or car and probably losing life. Reason why I chose to support option 2. I hope you has the Community Board make a decision to protect those children .
I agree letting the kids crossing the highway is a really dangerous thing has you said ,they probably can be hurt by car or truck.i think to prevent that,we absolutely have to support the option2 who can keep them away from that danger.
Deletethumb up
DeleteI agree, and i believe the community board will make the right decision. They know better. :)
DeleteThey better make the right decision it's not just for the safety of those children's crossing the high way also for the protection of those driver in the high way
DeleteGood points, Wickny. Especiallly since there is a school on the same side of the highway as the neighborhood, proponents of Option 2 likely feel that crossing the highway is an unnecessary risk for their children.
DeleteOption 2. Is easy for children to go to school near their community or their neigbors. On the other hand is very dangerous for a child to cross the highways where they have the risk of losing their lifes.
ReplyDeleteGood points, Isaura, though I bet you could expand them a little to make a more compelling argument.
Deleteoption.its insupottable to have kindergarden kids cross the highway, even the adult have a difficult to cross the hight way how we gooing to think t the children can cross those street.
ReplyDeletechildren pedestrian safety should be an important parental concern since children develop more mobility and independence.there is general agrement among trafic safety professionals that children under the age of 10 shoulf not cross traficc alone
Great points, Bah. When it is dangerous for adults to cross the street somewhere, it is at least as dangerous, if not more, for children.
DeleteTo the honored community board,
ReplyDeleteapparently it is noticeable to you that our students have to go to school passing through the huge highway road which might lead them serious accident or an unexpected death. I am undoubtedly criticizing your decision as a responsible parent. so i believe you will concern about our children's problem, disregard your decision that you have taken and reconsider it for our sake. thank you
Mohammad, your language was very sophisticated here, but I must say that I'm not sure if you're in favor of Option 2 or Option 3. Try to be more clear in the future.
DeleteDear Community Board,
ReplyDeleteThe following is to discuss an issue coming along our community giving to the fact of the danger of our children crossing the highway. With all respect and as a worried parent i strongly believe and point out two possible ideas to deal with this situation; one is to obviously support option 2, which is honestly a good idea for those who are concerned about their children's safety, or in fact to implement well trained security that will help our children cross the highway for those who feel more comfortable with that school. I personally feel more comfortable with my child to assist the school across the highway; which is as well the most near one. I truly believe you'll make the right decision.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Cepeda.
i agree...
DeleteStephanie you can be a good social worker view the way you make the difference I totally agree with your concept.
Deletei think every body is concerned about their childrens safety.b cause child is the most important things good give us.
DeleteThis is a very good response with some good ideas, Stephanie.
DeleteTo Community Board,
ReplyDeleteI'm support Option 2. In my opinion, safety of our children is most important problem in our life. This is why I'm so glad with that news. Before this vote, all of our neighborhood were worried about that highway. Like everyone knows, that highway is too dangerous to our children. Furthermore, it's between children's school and us. Every time when we go to school for our kids, we felt fear of an accident. But, now we are relieved with this good news. As a member of neighborhood, I am so glad and thanks for this result to everyone. I am obviously sure, this is perfectly right decision and this decision will make us to happy and relieve.
Sincerely,

I totally agree with you Natalie. The highway represents danger for our children, therefore option 2 is a great idea.
DeleteGood work, Natalie, and this very much resembles a professional letter like a community board could recieve.
DeleteTo whom it may concern,
ReplyDeleteI am writing this letter i think option2 is better idea for parents and their children,zoning schools make it easier for parents to drop their children and save a time,it also safe for children beacuse they don't have to cross the highway and there wouldn't be too many students in one school.
i am agree with your comment, and good what you have writing.
DeleteA good and concise set of points, Alishfa.
DeleteTo whom it may concern,
ReplyDeleteI'm writing this letter i think option 2 is better idea for parents and their children, zoning school is eaiser for parents and their children, it will easy for parents to drop their childrenand save time.it aslo safe beacuse they don't have to cross a highway and there wouldn't be to many students in one school.
the supporting option 2 such as my oppininion for many resons, first of all, safty of our children, espicialy, kindergatners who have to accompanied them to school every time,because tey still not conscience how they can act and crossing the highway of 8 lines. secondly, more nearest school more a saved time for the parents and chilldren.
ReplyDeleteGood points, Najim. Perhaps parents have to spend more time walking their children to school because they don't feel them crossingthe busy highway, but if the kids went to a different school, they could have more independence.
DeleteTo the community board.
ReplyDeleteI'm writing this sort note to inform you that i definitely support the option2,because it's absolutely dangerous to let little kids as a kindergartners to cross the highway.so i think that it'll be a great idea to let them go in their neighborhood school without out crossing any highway.it's also will be really safety for them and their parents.
Good points, Aminata.
DeleteTo whom it may concern,
ReplyDeleteI think the option 2 is better choice. There is a highway between school and children' home, children might not know how to cross the highway and it also parents worry about their children. If students can be divided by the highway, the parents and children both gona be glad.
Unfortunately, Youwei, some parents aren't glad with the board's choice, as the chapter showed us, but at least many of them are happy with the outcome of the decision.
DeleteTo Community Board,
ReplyDeleteI support the Option 2 because student safely is always the major problem we concern. Even though students know how to cross the highway or parent would go crossing the highway with them, it is still increasing the probability of traffic accident. We shouldn't put students in risk. Therefore, i think option 2 is the best option for students.
Good points here, Kaydence.
DeleteI'm totally agree with your concept but even when their parents chose to cross them that not going to stop anything when the driver running at a vitesse extravagant
