To the Nestle Chocolate Company

Dear Sir or Madam,

Recently, I purchased a quantity of your products from a local grocery store.  The students in my second grade reading group ingested the chocolate candy.  (We were celebrating finishing a reading level.)  When the students returned to their respective classrooms, the trouble began.  I was notified later by the school nurse that more than one student experienced symptoms usually associated with the ingestion of an alcoholic beverage!

• Students laughed out loud during class discussions.
• Boys were seen talking with girls.
• Girls giggled on an average of once every two minutes.
• Boys and girls smiled at their teachers for no reason at all.
• Boys exhibited unusually chivalrous behavior towards girls.
• Teachers in neighboring classrooms complained of raucous laughter from the affected students.
• Students were helpful to each other and to their classmates.
• Classroom teachers reported an abnormally high incidence of students asking if they could “go visit Mrs. Simpson”.

Due to this unusual behavior, the elementary principal suggested that I no longer provide Nestle chocolate products to any student.  This is a unilateral decision on his part with which I cannot agree.

 

I would like some documentation from your company on the benefits of eating chocolate, particularly by young people.

Sincerely,

Sharon Simpson, Elementary Tutor
