Dear Madam,
I am writing this letter to you because I think the price of the annual journey to Poland from our school is too high. This is a voyage which is very significant to Israelis, Jews and people in general, and I think everyone should join this trip if they can. Every year, a large number of students want to take part in this significant journey, but most of them don't go, eventually. Some of these students don't fly to Poland since their families have financial problems, and they can't afford a trip to Poland. In my opinion, this fact is not a reason for these kids to miss this trip… but that's barely their fault.
The problem is simple – the school's teachers encourage us to go to Poland and they say it's very important. They're absolutely right, but they unconsciously oppose the school's hidden ideology - who cant pay, can't fly. I know Kugel High School wants more students to join the trip, but it is almost impossible considering the high price, and this trip is too important to miss just because of financial causes. In my point of view, there is no trip more important than this significant, life-changing journey. Many of my classmates couldn't afford joining the trip, though they deeply wanted too, just because the price was too high. Is that reasonable? I am sorry, but I don't think so.
Kugel High should do much more to subsidize the trip for the students. It is possible. Youth movements like HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed, in which I am active, and others like HaShomer HaTsah'ir, take much less money for the trip, and their trip is not so different from our planned trip. Speak to key people in the government and the municipality, and ask for their help. I am sure that they will be more than happy to help. If they won't, well, I think that reflects something very depressing about the education in our country.
Sincerely yours,
Omer.
