Your task is to write a formal, anonymous letter to the school board. Use the structure and techniques we have discussed to make your letter as persuasive as possible. Your school has installed a new automated system that controls everything based on complex algorithms. But it has strange quirks: – Classes end at random times – The heating turns on during summer – The lunch bell rings at 10am Detail the chaos caused by the system and explain how it affects students and teachers. Be specific about the problems! You must firmly demand a return to manual controls.

Dear Mr. Clarke,
I am writing this letter to complain about the situation going on at North Sydney Public School. The problem is that our school’s newly implemented system, which now controls the lights and also when the bell rings, has created some strange and annoying quirks. I’m writing from the Student Committee of NSPS, but the complete extermination of the system is down to the School’s Board of Directors. The school has seen many annoying things controlled and created by the system, but it is also very destructive. For instance, last week, the Year 10 Biology and Geography classes were cut short by half an hour. Seeing that their exams were only two days away, half the class failed the examination. Not to mention, last Friday, the lunch bell rang at 10:37 a.m., with the fire alarm interrupting period eight with teachers only to find out that it was a false alarm, causing students to evacuate to the playground, halting classes for half an hour, therefore using up a lot of time. The chaos within the school made by the system is unbelievable. One might go so far as to call it creativity, but it is a large problem for many students and sometimes, teachers.
I’m on the student committee, I have asked my “colleagues” on the committee, and am representing the whole body of students to respectfully ask the Board to deactivate this automated system and permanently restore manual control of the bells and lights. The current technology has proven it cannot be trusted, and its failures are negatively affecting our grades and our school environment.
We hope you will consider our request and take swift action to resolve this pressing issue.
Hope you are well.
Yours Sincerely,
