G'day Governor

This morning started out pretty lame. I'm not going to get into it. Fortunately, I found this letter, which cheered me up. One of my students wrote it last year to the Governor of Louisiana after we read an article about the $8 million dollar cut he made in public education spending. (Spelling mistakes have been left to maintain the piece's integrity.)

Dear Govenor Bobby Jindal,
As one of the students here at Harry S. Truman middle school, I need my egication. My family is poor enof. I cant afford to go to a privet school. You don't know what its like to be poor, you were never poor, you live in a "fance" house while we, the people are home, strugleing to get a job, and pushing their kids to get an edgacation and to not make the same mastake they did. The people who has jobs are trying to get a good meal once and a while for their famly. I would love to see you live on the Streets, you see how it feels to be poor and helpless. See how it feels to go to a school with the rust forming asid christals and the roof falling apart.
SO YOU LIVE IN MY LIFE FOR ONE WEEK AND SEE HOW IT FEELS! I bet your liveing the glory as govener, anything your famly needs they get. If your sisters children need to go to calage, BOOM! best colage ever. You keep saying egacation is the most important thing, but look at all the money you took out of public schools.
So Mr. Rich and powerful I don't care if your not reading this right now, but someone has to put you stight, and if a twelv year old girl in middle school has to, then so be it.

Love,

T.

P.S.
I will still right letters to you till you give money to the schools, you dont want to make this nashanal, DO YOU?
