A Persuasive Piece Addressed to the School Principal About the Condition of the School's Bathrooms

Good day Madam Principal, Today we would like to address you about the condition of the student bathrooms both male and female. This is a school wide problem. We have interviewed some of the students about their opinion on the school’s bathrooms. All the comments were very similar or the same and the most common word used by the students to describe the bathroom was “disgusting.” You may be aware of the problem, but if you are not we have highlighted some of the major issues for you. I thank you in advance for taking time out of your busy schedule to read this. One of the first and most prominent complaints about the bathroom is its sanitation. Some students have made remarks that would discourage a stranger from ever wanting to step foot in one of our bathrooms. Remarks such as “disgusting” and “nasty” have been used to describe our bathrooms. These remarks were used to describe both male and female bathrooms. I know this is partly the students faults but we would appreciate regular sanitation if possible. The uncleanliness of the bathrooms causes the students to hold up their bowel movements throughout the day which can be very unhealthy and cause many infections such as kidney or bladder infections. Another major issue is the odour of the bathrooms which cause everyone to feel upset. This matter should be attended to as soon as possible. The students have complained of the foul odour and have described it as being repulsive, unbearable and disgusting. The odour makes the usage of the schools bathrooms even more uncomfortable. The odour is even more unbearable after lunch time as the intoxicating smell of faeces and urine fill the bathrooms and surrounding air. This is due to the lack of water and also to the toilets not flushing as they seem to be clogged. Plumbing is also another issue that
