Dear Congressman Jones:

While I applaud your concern for the Corolla Wild Horse Protection Act (HR 4867), it seems to me there are so many more pressing issues. For instance, our children are not keeping pace with their peers.

Some day these very children will be competing for jobs. It is essential that American kids are able to read and write proficiently. We should introduce a second language at an early age. (Chinese comes to mind.)

There should be a national, comprehensive program that begins on the very first day of school. There is no time to waste.

It is disheartening to see how pathetic our American children score when compared with their peers.

At the moment we seem to be trashing public school education. If other issues appear to be more important, we must appreciate the future for America is with our children.

There is no reason for American kids not to excel. I hope the “grown ups” realize that simple truth before it’s too late.

                            Sincerely,
           
                            A Constituent 

Public school educated and proud of it!
