Dear Dr. Allens:

Bruce Reid, my son, was home over the past week end and I am no little
disturbed over the situation that exists in his history class. There
seems to be some friction between Bruce and his teacher and Bruce is not
getting the grades, which he thinks he deserves. I am not condoning
Bruce because I realize there are always two sides, but the fact remains
that he is not doing as well as he should. He claims he is studying now
and really trying and I know that Bruce has always been a good student
in that subject - all the way through his grade and high school years, he
‘made good grades in history, it was one of his favorite subjects and so
naturally, I am wondering why he should now almost be on the verge of
failing in it.

You know what it means to Bruce to play basket ball-- he has to partly
work his way through college else it would not be possible for him to go,
and I am wondering it if would be possible for you to have him changed
from one history class to another. There apparently is not the proper
cooperation between teacher and pupil and I feel sure that Bruce will not
be able to do much good under existing conditions. It isn't fair to him
or to his instructor either and so anything you might be able to do would
be highly appreciated.

If you can find the time, I would appreciate your investigating the matter
and writing me at your convenience. Thanking you and with every good
wish, I am

Sincerely yours,

. Z 2 , J
