Why I ought to hit you? Maybe not
One day saw a commercial my mom’s company made. The screen showed an oven with a pot. The narrator said,” to you this is a place where you cook your dinner to some it is a place to teach a lesson.” Hitting is just the beginning to child abuse. SO here are the reason’s you shouldn’t consider hitting a kid.
Hitting a kid can be considered child abuse because any kind hurtful/harmful action is abuse. My mom never hits me and I am a good kid. Especially since she works for a company to prevent child abuse. The company also tries to help families stop abusing their kids.
As a part of my mom’s jobs she knows there are alternatives to hitting/ hurting your kid. Not all the alternatives are sunshine and daisies. Such as being grounded, for younger kids timeouts, you can always take away special privileges for example not TV for a certain time period or no dessert t for some time or just t ell them no but give a reason. The simplest alternative is talking it out. When my mom and me have an issue she talks it out.
There are always examples of real life situations in books Like The Adventures of Hackle Berry Finn. In chapter 6 Huck’s dad takes Huck to a cabin where they live. In the chapter the dad hits Huck for example, Huck says,” he tanned me so much” the dad thrashed Huck for going to school.
So in conclusion you shouldn’t hit a kid it hurts them hurting them is abuse. It sometimes makes the kid afraid of the person. Also there are other ways to resolve a conflict. Hitting is not the way to fix issues. Abuse can make a kid wind up behave badly and it doesn’t help.

should Huckle Berry Finn be taught in schools?

Our Next Lesson is... the adventures of Huckle berry Finn
To a lot of people it is debatable to teach Huckle Berry Finn. But in my class we’re reading It. If you told me we weren’t reading it I’d be mad. So here’s why it should be taught.
My first reason is the story is a challenge compared to other books 9th graders read. It can be hard to understand. The narrator speak understandable English. At one point Jim says, “How you gwyne to git’m you can’t slip on em.” It’s not easy to under stand what their saying. It’s the natural way people in the South talk. They say things like at one point the dad asks to Huck Finn” why didn’t you roust me out?” It’s challenging because some parts of the book don’t make sense One moment Huck’s riding with Jim and then all of a sudden their on a ship with two unknown the book says he flung a bag of some thing. It was Packard and then bill comes.” Also Huck said his dad was following the boat (the dad is dead)
My second reason is the book is exciting; especially in chapter 18 when there’s a fight. Huck hides in a hollow tree during the fight. When he comes out he says,” when I got out the tree and found two bodies lay in the river. Then there was the time Huck put a snake on Jim. When Jim realized the snake was on him jumped up yelling. He told me to chop off the head.
My third reason Is Huck makes a lot of choices. He chooses to run away from his caregiver Miss Watson. Miss Watson makes him clean up, pray, and wear stiff clothes. He decides to spare Jim. “wel I believe you. I run off” “Jim” “It was fifteen minutes before I could work myself and go humble to a nigger.” Is a major line at the end of chapter 15.
These are the reasons to read the book. It’s just a fun exciting, book that will challenge you a little. and to think out side the box It’s telling you slavery is bad from the voice of a little boy but secretly form the author mark twain.

11/7/07 In re: Gault -- Panel Intervview at the Constitution Center
Last Wednsday, at the ConstituionCenter, I went to a special event. It was about Gerald Gault who 40 years ago had a court case that ended up getting all kids the right to a lawyer. When he was fifteen, Gault was sentenced for prank phone calls he didn't even make. He was arrested. Back then kids didn't have the rights that grownups did. When kids were arrested the police and courts did have to had comply with the 14th Amendment. He filed a habeas corpus petition which went up to the Supreme Court. It was an 8 to 1 decision and the Court said that kids have the right to counsel, a lawyer in court, and the right to notice which says what you have been accused of, and the other rights that adults had.
The event was set up like a panel or an interview. There was a lady from NPR, GeraldGault, Joane Epps, and Hilary T, and ELizabeth Scott among one other member. It was a very interesting. In Hilary T"s.case she wrote obsene words on a My Space
she meant it as a joke but was not taken lightly. She was taken to a detention center. When she was taken to the court she asked for the right to counsel (a lawyer).
At the end, there were questions. When it was over, I GOT TO MEET GERLAD GAULT UP CLOSE AND PERSONALLY. We shook hands and I told of a project I did last year about due process and how I was working on a project about searches and seizures in kids lockers. Gerald said that when he was a kid they searched kids lockers and even confiscated what they found. IT WAS A VERY COOL FUN NIGHT. This is helpful to kids so that they don't go to jail unless there is a good reason and a fair process.
