A letter about the discussion of giving more freedom to children
6th November, 2002
Dear Sir,
My name is Mr. Burns, I am writing to you in reference to your last report in the daily newspaper. Firstly, I have to say that it is dangerous to give too much freedom to children as they are growing up in a dangerous world each day so they still need to be educated and guided correctly in that world.
On the one hand, you advise us to give children more freedom so they will become them in more responsible citizens. From my point of view, that is serious topic to deal with as there are serious children´s times in a child's life when parents should have to pay more attention into them, for example when they start going to discos with friends. If giving to them more freedom means not controlling their back home hour (=curfew) and not knowing what they usually do there, that represents a big risk to their health and their future. Personally, I think it would be a good idea to name a leader among their friends who controls the last hour permitted to stay in the disco and who controls the drinks our children have. Thus, that person would need to be a responsible one who is used to receiving orders.
On the other hand, another idea to make our children into responsible ones could be buying them a pet, a dog, a cat and so on, which is a great idea to involve a child in the activities of looking after an animal.
On the other hand, talking about school subjects, we should help our children choose those that are most suited to their abilities and interests. I hope you can agree with me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Burns
