Dear 2-4 homeroom teacher

  Hello, Mr. Go! My name is Sung Ji Kim. You will be surprised to see my letter. I, of course have a purpose to write you a letter. I want our class rule to be changed. You know the punishment for late coming students. We have to pay money according to the time. Like, when we are late between 8:30 to 8:33, it's just 300 won, but after 8:33, we have to pay 500 won, 1000 won... like this. You may not understand why I'm telling this to you. You might just think I shouldn't be late. However, I have 3 reasonable reasons for requesting this change.


  First, is because I can't find any differences between before and after using a fine system. I think our class thinks it is not too strong punishment, because it's just easy to pay money. I also agree with it. I think money can't be the way to avoid our problems. We are also student, so we don't have ability to earn money. If you make other punishment that students don't want to do, I think students who are late coming will be decrease.


  Second, is because I think you are not using money in useful ways. For example, you can make a donation, or for school things like soap or tissues, not only ice cream or beverages. We like things to eat, but I think when my money is just being used for snacks, I really don't want pay, even if it's my fault and even it's the rule of class. There is the article that teenagers are making a donation with their money while they were paying when they come late. The total was 168,200 won. Daegu Jisan middle school 2-3 class students are paying 100 won when they are late, but also teacher is paying plus saving too. They said they feel happy to use their money to poor neighbors.


  Last, is that this punishment can never help us. Do you think we can get learn something by paying a fine? No, we don't. There are many ways that can help us. For instance, memorizing poem or wise sayings. Also, I think students will think this punishment is harder than just paying. So, the students who come late to school will be decrease for sure.                                                                                                                         

                                        These kinds of wise sayings.
        
      Therefore, because of these three main reasonable reasons. I want you to really change our class punishment to late coming students. Please think about this! Thank you and bye~!

                                                                      Sincerely, Kim Sung Ji

    I agree that paying a fine for being late is not a good solution, because the fact that there is a tangible punishment for being late causes the tardy to feel less guilt once the fine is paid. One thing I find an issue is that your first and third arguments are in essence identical.
