Dear David Warlick,
I agree with your article “Are We Wasting Children?”, because I think that this a common thing happening in schools around the U.S. Kids get to stressed out and end up quitting and dropping out or failing. At my school, I think that the staff tries their very best to keep kids on track so they don’t end up dropping out. However, this may not be the case in other schools across the U.S, and kids are dropping out commonly because of their stress. I don’t think my school is wasting our children, but I do think that other schools could be wasting their children. All in all, I think that some schools around the U.S are wasting their children, but I don’t think that my school is because my staff tries very hard to keep their kids on track and to not drop out of school.

Dear Mr. Karl Fisch,

I read your article, "Dear Denver Post: No More Horoscopes" , and i agree on what you are saying. I think that the horoscopes are pointless, and are taking up space that could be used for more educational, and important information in the paper. If people new about news from around the world, like science, i think that our society would be much more educated and aware of what is happening in the world around them. But instead the news paper is using the space for horoscopes. This makes me question what the purpose of the news paper is for. I hope that the Denver Post will replace the horoscopes with more important articles that could educate people so that they are aware of important things going on in the world.
