My Brother's Typical Day
By: Journalist Benjamin Yang
After having an ineterview with my 3rd grade brother, I have found out about his opinion at school and what he does after school.
Most moms think that their children love reading and writing but strangely: " I unpack and I do boring math and reading work." He also said in a bored tone of voice " I do a morning meeting with my class and then I go do writing." Also Daniel comments on reading too " I'm being forced to read and I like it." , and also, " I'm reading Maniac Magee and I think it's boring because i've already read it." This suggests that educators and teachers around the world should force their students to read and not make them reread books.
Some people like math, some people hate it, and some people think it's just boring. Daniel says " I really, really, really don't know! I don't know if I like it or not." This infers that he probably thinks math is boring.
Everybody knows that kids love recesss and free time at school, and this confirms it: " It's free time! ..." and " I play foursquare every recess." We should raise recess time and 8th period.
Also Daniel talks about his himework and his life at home. " Well, I do my homework first ..." and " ... I run a mile ..." This probably means that parents around the world should make their kids do their homework first instead of playing and also they should make their children excersize.
Well, according to the facts from my interview with Daniel, what we should change to the 3rd grade is this:
Make students read.
Not make them reread books.
Increase free time and recess.
Make math interesting.
Tell parents to make their children do homework first.
Make their children excersize.
We should all vote on making these changes to the 3rd grade and possibly every grade!
