Writing Exercise 2

                                       Springfield Vt changes student and teacher's manual

(Springfield, Vt) -  Springfield High School teachers are no longer allowed to use physical punishment on students, under a revision in the school manual.

Superintendent Max Schmidt proposed that students can wear their hair as long as they would like and they can drive to school. The he also proposed students are not allowed to be physically punished by their teachers.

These changes were met by some opposition. Springfield Board Member, Janet Bliss said, "These rules were good enough for my generation; they're good enough for the students now."

However, the board voted 5-2 and approved the new manual.
