Dear Recipient,
It has recently been brought to the attention of the National Mothers Society (NMS)
that removing all elective subjects in effort to reserve finances. NMS fears that the
school board has not fully investigated the repercussions of this decision. These
repercussions include; an increase in students “skipping” school, an increase in students
acting out in the class room, and a decrease in school funding from the state.
Out of the three main reasons, increase in student “skipping” rates, and a decreased
in school funding from the state , an increase of students acting out in class is the most
detrimental. All of these elective subjects allow students to have some time during there
day to enjoy school, and do something fun and relaxing. All of these classes take away
the competitive environment and put in place an environment that is cohesive to
cooperation. Students are 45% times more likely to act out in classes where students are
pressured to compete with each other. In classes where students are forced to rely on
other to achieve a common goal, students will feel more accomplished and relaxed in the
end. The State of Tennessee gives the public schools money based on the classes they
offer, the school attendance, and the socio-economics of the region in which the school is
located.
Sincerely yours,
Kelly Kite
