Dear Ms. Pintó,

I have received the changes of the school calendar from the Department of Education which consist in:

1. starting the next term some days earlier,

2. starting school immediately after “Kings”,

and others changes that are not as important as the others.

I would like to take the opportunity to comment on them.

On the one hand, I agree that the Department has to look for new method to improve the academic level, but I think that the school should have asked, informed the students before taking a decision. I believe that we, as students, have a right to be asked because if not, this can create a conflictive atmosphere.

Moreover, I have to say that, in my experience, the change of calendar isn’t a good decision because every year that we had a change all my classmates and me protested against the decision.

I would be interested to hear other students’ opinions.

Yours sincerely,

Víctor Rosillo
