I think when a child is very young you should tell them that Santa will bring them presents and can see everything they are doing. Then maybe they will try to be good all the time knowing Santa is watching. I think it is also important to leave the child with that child like sense of wonder because a kid should have fun thinking about how Santa does all the stuff he does. I also think the child will feel more excited when it comes to Christmas.

Things i have enjoyed while i was in elementary was recess. We got to run around and play stupid games that we made up wen we were kids like Moose, Sharkblade, Free for all war ball, and monkey fighting. Most of those games got banned because we were all getting hurt, so we were pretty proud about that. Things i did not like in elementary was getting punished staying in for recess or having to write your name many times on a piece of paper. I also did not really like being lined up and doing art projects. I think kids should have homework but not to much so they are ready for high school when homework is a everyday thing. Children will be more prepared if they have homework so i think kids should have it.
