****************************************************************** BUSH ANNUAL
REPORT CARD
Debra K debrak.hedding@comcast.net
Dear Mr. and Mrs. G.H.W. Bush,
Once again, it is that time of
year when we update the parents of our students
on their child?s progress, and we regret to
inform you that your son, Georgie, is not doing
as well as we?d hoped and expected when he
embarked on his four-year program at our school.
As you are well aware, Georgie was installed as
class president at the start of the school year,
despite the fact that the majority of his fellow
students did not vote for him. We foresaw
problems immediately, but were assured by several
school board members (who, as we understand it,
are friends of your family) that this would not
result in any real difficulty. Unfortunately,
they have been proven wrong.
In the area of scholastic
achievement, despite our best efforts, Georgie is
still reading and speaking at a grade level far
below our usual standards. At this point, we are
not sure if his failure to learn is due to
laziness and a lack of ability to apply himself
to his studies, or if he simply lacks the
intellectual capacity to improve in these areas.
His oral presentations to the
class are particularly troubling; it is apparent
that Georgie has not read the necessary
materials, and he often simply fabricates facts
to hide this shortcoming. In oral exams, he tends
to repeat the same answers over and over, e.g.
?The economy is good; jobs are on their way,?
indicating a profound failure to keep up with the
Current Events portion of the curriculum. Georgie
also tends to fabricate elaborate stories about
himself - which, admittedly, can sometimes be
very amusing.
During a school celebration
last May, he delighted his fellow students by
coming to class in a little ?flight suit? (just
like the grownups wear!), and had everyone in
stitches with his story about the family dog
having eaten his report card from military
preschool! On the whole, however, Georgie does
not play well with other children.
His ?leadership? in the
classroom continues to divide many students, one
against the other. Other study groups, such as
our French and German-language classes, are no
longer willing, to cooperate with Georgie?s
group, even though they have traditionally done
so in the past.
Your son also displays a lack
of taking responsibility for his failings, and
seems unable to appreciate the consequences of
his actions. Although he was provided with the
best textbooks on the subjects of the Economy,
Job Creation, The Environment, et cetera, these
books were damaged or completely destroyed within
a matter of months. Georgie insists that he
?inherited? these books in poor condition,
despite all evidence to the contrary. (In fact,
these same textbooks were previously used by one
of our very best students, who actually returned
them in better condition than he found them!)
During his first few weeks with
us, Georgie quickly became part of a group of
other ?problem students.? Despite warnings, he
has consistently befriended children whom we
consider to be ?bad elements,? such as Little
Kenny Lay and a foreign-exchange student named
Chalabi. Both of these youngsters have been
expelled from other schools due to their
involvement in cheating other students out of
their lunch money. We feel that these kinds of
relationships can only lead to no good, and hope
that you will advise your child accordingly.
Georgie often displays aggressive behavior in the
school yard, and recently assaulted a student in
another school district, completely unprovoked.
When asked about this incident, Georgie insisted
that the other child was armed and dangerous.
When investigation into the
matter proved otherwise, Georgie changed his
story several times: he was just trying to
?democratize? the other child, the other child?s
school was harboring gang members, and so on.
Quite frankly, his story on this topic has so
changed from week to week, we simply can?t trust
his word at all anymore.
Georgie?s friends, while not
great in number, are very loyal, but tend to be
overprotective. If any of the other students
point out Georgie?s failing grades, these friends
simply shout them down and tell them not to speak
at all. When Georgie was summoned to the
principal?s office several weeks ago, he insisted
that his ?best friend? come with him. We feel
that it is in Georgie?s best interest to learn to
stand up for himself; failure to do so could
seriously damage his ability to handle a
leadership role in his adult years.
As you are aware, final exams
will be held in November, and Georgie?s past
performance leads us to conclude that he will not
be able to achieve the grades necessary to
continue on with another four-year term at our
institution.
Yours Truly,
