Is it better to be a kid or an adult?

Today, students used the OREO strategy to answer the question, “Is it better to be a kid or an adult?”. Only 2 of the 16 students who completed the response, thought it was better to be an adult than a kid! Some of their ideas are below.

It is better to be a kid than an adult because:  

“Your parents buy your trips.” “You have easier work.” “You get lots of presents for Christmas.” “You don’t have to pay for the house.” “Adults get grey hair.” “In hockey, adults have to sit in the stands, but if you’re a kid you can play with your friends.” “Adults have to have a job.” “Kids can sleep in and are more active.”	“If you are a kid you have more energy but if you are an adult you don`t have as much.” “If you are a kid you are young and have a lot more life ahead of you.” “When you are an adult you see your parents getting older.” “Adults will probably be eating healthy stuff.” “Adults get wrinkles.” “Kids get to go out and have fun and play with their toys.”
My personal favourite: “Worst of all, adults have to get married.”

It is better to be an adult than a kid because:

“You get to be a parent!” 

“You get to shop more. Almost every weekend, my mom goes shopping.”

“You can drive yourself wherever you would like to go.”

“You get to play games with your kids.”

As you can see, they had a lot more reasons for why being a kid is better than being an adult. 

Parents, what are your thoughts?  :)
