Dear Ponyville Board of Education,
My name is Cherilee Blossom, I teach kindergarten through second grade at Ponyville elementary. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the board of education for providing the school with such adequate funds. The children loved the trip to Canterlot Gardens last year, and I appreciate your contributions.
However, I'm writing this letter to the school board to express my concerns for one of my students. Dinky Hooves is the daughter of Ditzy Doo Hooves, whom many of you know is a mentally challenged individual. Dinky is a very bright student of mine, she has shown exceptional interest and talent in a variety of subjects. I understand that she is in a caring home without financial troubles. However, as a growing young filly, I am concerned she isn't receiving the mental stimulation at home that she requires at her age. Her grades have recently demonstrated a difficulty of preforming her schoolwork outside of the classroom, and I believe she isn't able to receive the educational assistance she needs at home.
What is more disturbing is the fact that Ditzy Doo seems to be her only caretaker. While I do not believe it is right to separate a filly of her age with her only parent, I also do not believe Dinky is being properly taken care of while in the sole custody of somepony who has struggles of her own.
This is why I'm proposing that Dinky be put into foster care for the time being. I have already sent the necessary paperwork to the Ponyville orphanage, and the ponies there have informed me that they can properly take care of Dinky while they look for the proper foster home. I don't want to separate the filly from her family, but I am concerned that her current environment is dangerous for her growth and development.
Sincerely,
Cherilee Blossom
