Dear Editor, 4/15/09 The school needs bigger desks. Some people think we should get them while others think other things are needed more than this! From my point of view, I think we should have larger desks. If you have too many books it is not very easy to put all those bulky books into our desks. Our books have too many pages, and at times I have to put them on or next to my puny desk. Sometimes when I try to pull my text books out, my fingers get squashed in the sides of my desk. Next, since we have our gigantic text books, we don’t have a lot of room for our folders. Our folders are big at times, because we have many papers in our folders. Our teachers give us all of those papers for us to review for our assessments, so when I try to get my folders out, they rip. At other times, when I pull out, and put back in my folders they either rip or fold, and I end up buying new ones. This will affect me by finding things more quickly and easily. Next, bigger desks will also get me more organized. My folders wouldn’t be as enormous as now. I don’t have any room for my calculator, pencil case, and my post-its. My desk is way too small to hold so many books and folders. It gets so annoying to put all of those things on top or next to my desk. As you can see, we need bigger desks. I hope you support my ideas about getting larger desks for our school!  -Nicol e
