Dear sir/madam

l am writing to complain about an article in last Monday's newspaper."Schools fail

low-income children." As the head teacher of one of the largest junior high schools
in the city, I feel strongly that the article does not describe our school.

My school has children from many different economic backgrounds, but a large
percentage come from lower-income families. Nevertheless, our tests show that the
children do well and benefit from the excellent work our teachers do. Last year our
school moved from 24th to 5 the place according to the official assessment by the
state government. This is clearly not the "failure" that the article suggests.

I would strongly recommend that more careful research should be conducted in the
future so that your newspaper will more realistically describe the true situation in
our schools.

Yours sincerely
Joan Gonzalesz
