My dearest English Language Arts teacher, who I shall not name,

I would like to request that we, the students, be allowed to write how we please. No more prompts, no more '20 words minimum'. I understand that we must be challenged, but you are draining us of our creativity. We are no longer allowed freedom of expression due to your rules, and so I see no reason to listen to you after this point. I'm not one to judge, but I suggest that you visit the library and find the definition of the word 'independent', for your class is not one that should be described with it. I feel that I'm being forced to write the way that YOU think is right, not the way that I think is right, which was a promise of your classroom. There is quite clearly a power imbalance within this class that I believe can only be fixed by us, the students.

Thank you,

An independent person.
