Children can teach you

 Do you think only adults can teach children? My answer is 'No'. I watched Adora Svitak's speech, and I noticed that children can be better than adults.

 Sometimes adults pass over or underestimate children's opinions. They think adults' ideas and works are better than children's. However, children's works can be very important. Think about Anne Frank. She wrote her diary and it touched our hearts. Like this, adults should not pass over or underestimate children. Age absolutely does not matter. Also, adults can't say 'Don't do this' or 'You have to do this' to children. We can do it ourselves. Do not say 'Don't do that' to your children. Not only teachers or adults can teach children. We can teach you. We are not afraid to challenge. Children are not afraid to fail. Just remember this. Children can be better than you. Children are the leaders of tomorrow. We will be adults just like you or better than you. Don't ignore children. I hope you understand.

 Now I will write about my story. Actually I don't like adults who ignore my opinion. Maybe every children will think like that. My favorite teacher listened to me. He is Jonathan Ott. He didn't say 'Do this' or 'Don't do that'. He said to me children's ideas can be better than  adults' ideas. I think almost all teachers don't think like him. However I believe that teachers have to think and act like that.

 I wish that you don't pass over or underestimate children's opinion. I hope you can be a great model to children because you listen to children. Just remember this. Do not ignore children. Thank you.

  2. Are you afraid to fail? If you are, why is that? Do you think that school is a place where you learned to become afraid of failure?

    I hope you have many more teachers like Mr. Ott.
