Novel connection. When Richie punches Russell in the face, his mother wants to call the principal, however, Russell wants to keep quiet about the whole incident. Russell’s mom’s response was, “I’m not doing nothing. If one adult did this to another, he be in jail. Why should it be different for kids?” (p. 45)
Blog Question: Should kids solve their own problems or should adults/parents get involved? Explain.
Adults play a big part in a kid's problems. Kids can go to adults, and talk to them. In the question, it asks, if adults should get involved in a students problems. It actually depends on the problem. If it is a small problem, like a small argument with a friend, then the kids should solve the problem. If it is a big problem, like Richie punching Russell, then adults should get involved. I think kids just don't want to be called the tattle tale, but sometimes, the adults need to get involved.

I also agree, adults do have a big role in kids problems. They should get involved in problems like Russell is facing now, cause it can get serious.
ReplyDeleteYou're right man,
ReplyDeleteI think kids are afraid that they're going to be called a tattle tale, or that the person that they told on might make their life miserable.
I agree with you and it is true when it is a small problem then the parents shouldn't get involved but it is when it becomes big like this they should get involved.
ReplyDeleteGood Job!!!
