HOLLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: What do you mean, you won't take it back?



Holland Elementary School pupils are persuasive writers.

If you purchased a new game for your X-Box or Wii and discovered it was broken and the store would not replace it or give you your money back because it was on sale, how would you get the company who manufactured the game to replace it for you?  

This was the school-wide writing topic for our monthly assembly and our children were very persuasive in writing letters to convince the companies to replace the games!  

Students were very sincere, courteous and offered great explanations of the situation. Many of them mentioned that they were just young children who had been saving money for the game for a long time and were so sad that the game did not work.  

This was a great lesson in the appropriate way to get good results! Everyone in the audience, including parents and other adult guests, agreed that if they were the manufacturer, they would refund the money or give them a new game because the pupils at Holland were so convincing!
