I learnd that we as childs are sometimes less childish than adults. Her confadence realy caught my atension. I realized that bieng a kid is the best thing in the world. my thaughts changed when she said ADULTS ACT CHILDISH because if they act childish than we can call it adultish (that sound like a bad laguage kinda like pig latin.) also that we can be more mature than say... mr walsh (not realy he is way more mature than me.) . I WILL NOW BE A LERNER. NOT A STUDENT!!! IM AWESOME!!! and now i know that i can do great in life and that i dont need to grow up.

I learned that most of our society's problems are caused by adults. What really caught my attention was that she didn't seem afraid to tell the adults what she thought and not what she thinks they wanted to hear. I didn't really like how she used bad examples of what adults did and good examples of what kids did. She didn't really mention any of the good things that adults did and the bad things that children did. I realized that kids come up with more creative ideas then most adults because we have more imagination. I don't like that adults treat kids like they never have anything important to say. Teenage girls treat grade 6 and 7 people like 2 year olds. I think it gives them a feeling of superiority. It's a kind of stupid way to have power. The girl was saying that adults say that we're childish when they have created war, guns and McDonald's. (Ba ba ba ba ba, McDonald's!) I think that I would like to be a learner. I have no idea what I will do in the future. I will figure that out when I have too. I think I will try to be a better learner.

1: That your age should not set borders for what you can and can't do. For example i'm learning how to make video games in the game engine Unity. This is a software that college students use. 2: The part where she talked about how if her older sister can't pay the interest rate on her loans that she would withhold funds. 3: That my age doesn't determine what i'm able to do. And that age does not make you inferior. 4: It didn't 5: The fact that adults can act childish and children can be mature hence the fact that age doesn't matter 6: It changed the way of the classroom system. The old classroom system is old person is in front he knows everything because he is old. Kids don't know everything therefore young and stupid. Yes it will affect the way i learn because my age doesn't mean i can't do some ambitious project. Such as making a game or doing a huge project for socials. I feel that it's time to change how we think about children. We aren't just sheep following what the teacher tells us. WE are just as smart as YOU. WE are the students learning so YOU should accommodate to OUR learning needs. We need a higher standard of education in the world such as what they have in Nordic countries. They are one of the smartest people in the world. And they have 0 tests until grade 12. they have a maximum of 18 students in each class. They get 2 hours of recess too. The opposite of how the U.S.A does it.

1. What I learned is that you don’t have to be older to do amazing things like creating new apps for IPods and IPads and doing a speech about something on TED talks. I also learned that adults underestimate kids and don’t really see that skateboarding, playing on mine craft and creating apps can help you in the future and with your knowledge.

2. What really caught my attention was the fact that she pointed out that adults are underestimating kids and I know that, that was the whole point of her speech but she pointed out that kids did special
things too and she showed examples and didn’t just say that the adults were doing that.

3. I realized that being a kid is just the start of your career like if you’re a runner or have done something amazing you can continue that and maybe start a career out of it or take what you have done and create something amazing out of it.

4. It changed my mind about how we are treated because I now know that kids don’t just slack off and go to school and learn what everybody else learns. Now I know that we kids can do a lot more than just going to school and doing the same routine every day, and now that I think about it I can do more than I ever expected or even imagined.

5. Adults can be childish but when it is time they can be mature.

6. I think that I am a learner because I don’t always want to get an A but I want to learn. This video helped me decide that because learners can be childish and they learn from that and students just go straight forwards with things and want to do perfect all of the time.

7. I think that it will influence me in the future because I will be an adult one day and I will reward kids for the amazing things that they can do and help them go forwards not that adults don’t do that already.

1. I learned that being called childish is an understatement to kids and sometimes offensive. People don’t realize the great things that kids can do.

2. I think what caught my attention the most was that the girl was so passionate. I also liked how she said a lot of kids who either changed or helped the world.

3. I think after seeing the video kids will get more a voice

1. I learned
that adults call us kids childish when sometimes it’s them who act like
children.

2. When
Adora made a list of some of the mistakes that adults have made, and then a
list of some of the great things kids have done.

3. Sometimes we need to be serious, but sometimes
it is necessary or it is okay to joke around.
4. I thought that when adults called us childish
that they just wanted us to use our manners, but once I saw this video I wanted
adults to treat us better with more respect.5. Adults aren’t always mature, sane and rational;
they can also have temper tantrums and hissy fits.
6. We can prove to adults that we are smart and
can make our own decisions.
7. I will put my best into my work to prove that
not all kids are lazy and immature.

1. I learned that adults call us childish and that adults don't think kids are smarter than they are. 2. The thing that caught my attention was that she wasn't afraid to tell everyone about this and that she said it right in front of adults and that she said children can be smarter than adults right in front of adults. 3. I realized that adults think children are childish and that we as children have to act more mature so that they don't think we're childish. 4. I think that older children aren't childish and I think older children are treated like younger kids and I don't think we get treated the way we should be because us older kids aren't childish we can go somewhere in the school with being supervised or staying at home by ourselves. 5. Age doesn't matter sometimes adults can be childish. 6. I think if I can learn I can be smarter then some adults and if we as kids be better students teachers won't think that we're childish and it will benefit us in the future of not being childish. 7. Yes because if I try my best then adults will think that some children aren't childish and like she said kids can be helpful to adults and can be smarter than adults.

Question 1…
I learned that adults think that they are smarter than children. Adults do not be offended because you are amazing, but children are amazing too, and we need a chance to show it. We will never get that chance if you treat us like you are now. This video also reminded me not to wait until I am older, because I can do epic things right now.

Question 2…
I was amazed that she had the guts to not only say it in front of so many people, but to say it to so many adults. She also seemed so comfortable with it. I wonder what adults think if they watched this video?

Question 3…
I realized that adults need to trust kids. Think about it, if adults don’t trust kids are they going to change… to put it simply, no.

Question 4…
I think that the word childish was made when one or maybe a group of kids were being immature, and we all got blamed for it. Actually (just thought of this now) maybe kids are called childish so the adults would seem more superior…?

Question 5…
Children can sometimes be childish, but so can adults. In this case age has nothing to do the word childish.

Question 6…
It is official, I am a learner, but I didn’t need that video to make my decision.

Question 7…
Yes, not only am I going to show off my skills, I am going to help adults to see them.

Ciao,

1. I learned that children and teens can do as much as anyone else. Adora Svitak is a prime example. She got up in front of a lot of really smart people and delivered her speech perfectly. I think it’s important to let children express themselves; I think children and teen’s ideas should be accepted and not just tossed aside.

2. The way Adora presented her speech really caught my attention. She was very well practiced and delivered her speech very well. I think she really drove her point. I liked when she was talking about the things children have done and comparing it to some of the horrible things adults have done. I would never have thought of that idea.

3. The video really boosted my strength and determination. Kids and teens really can do anything and I’m determined to do as much as I can. Other than that I learned to believe in myself, even if I’m not an adult.

4. The video really didn’t change my opinion. I think that children and teens should be treated the same as everyone else. My number one biggest pet peeve is being underestimated. It drives me insane. I think I can do as much (in some cases more) then adults. I’m not stupid. If everyone was accepted, not just adults, I think the world would be a much better place.

5. I think the video was saying that by not accepting children and teen’s ideas they are being childish. Adults aren’t giving us a chance to shine.

6. Now I’m even more determined to succeed so that I can show everyone that I can do anything, just like them.

7. I’m going to try harder and harder, no matter what.

I learned that being called "childish" is not the right term. We should have equal rights (not including smoking, drinking, etc). Kids have a more creative mind than adults and don't think about negative problems. Age doesn't matter at all.

What really caught my attention is how calm she was up on stage. I've seen adults who have gone on stage and hesitated and panicked. Another thing that stood out was how she reacted to the situation and how she tried to make it better for kids. She was inspiring.

I realized that being a kid is the next generation of adults. We will move our race into peace and new technology. Also that were coo1.

It did change my mind about how we’re treated because we don’t really have many options as kids. We’re always told what to do and when to do it and we don’t have a lot of choices.

I think it meant that adults not listening to us therefor being childish.
Not much to say ‘bout this one. We can make our own decisions now and chose what to do.

7.It will influence how I learn in the future.

In this video I learned that there is no difference between adult's ability and kid's ability.
What caught my attention was her being so confident and saying what she really wanted to say and say it in a good way. One way I would love to be as confident as her. She made you want to keep watching and listening to see and hear what she would say next.
I think you don't need to be an adult to change things in the world because kids can do almost anything adults can do. We can raise money for charity or we have the ability to teach people . Anybody can teach somebody something if they put their mind to it.
It did change my jind about how we are treated by adults. For example “oh they're just kids they can't do that” but in reality we most likely can. They underestimate us because we are younger. When we get subs at school and we ask “can we go to the computer lab to work? The teacher is thinking no way we can they self manage themselves because you're kids. Some of us can't understand that but if we really tried we definitely could. Adults almost seem to limit us on things they think we can't do. Why don't they say you may not be able to do that now, but work hard and don't let anybody say you can't.
I think when an adult calls another adult childish it offends us. Adults can make mistakes too. If the adult does something stupid they are called childish. Adults don't make as many mistakes as kids do, because they have more experience than kids.
This makes me more determined to prove adults wrong and show them we can do anything they can.
I think this will make me a better learner/student.

In this video I learned that kids are just as capable as adults
What caught my attention was her confidence in her words. You could really tell she wanted to let everyone know what she was saying and it was interesting to watch her points which were very clear and interesting. It made me feel like I wanted to keep watching. When I'm older I would love to be as confident as her.
I think that kids should be treated the same way because they are just as capable as adults in many things. Kids can do fundraising. Kids can teach adults stuff too. It doesn't always have to be adults teaching kids.
It did change my mind about how we are treated. Most adults think that kids are too young to help with hard jobs. They think because we're younger and smaller we can't do hard things. In most classes at our school teachers thnk that kids need supervision everywhere they go. Our teacher understands that freedom can help kids get their work done faster and we'll have more fun doing it. Most teachers think that if they left their students in the class unsupervised it would be a disaster. My teacher thinks and knows that they don't always need supervision.
I think that when adults get called childish it offends kids. When an adult messes up they mess up on more important things. They mess up less than kids because they have more experience than us.
This makes me want to work harder to show adults that kids are just as capable as adults. We can do whatever they can do.
I think that this will make me want to work harder to be a better student/learner.

1.In this video I learned that kids are just as capable as adults2. what really caught my atenttion was how strong she was talking not backing down having confidence and realy showing the adults we are not just sacs to dump knowlig in to for years and years 3. The video really boosted my strength and determination. Kids and teens really can do anything and I’m determined to do as much as I can. Other than that I learned to believe in myself, even if I’m not an adult.4.i find childern are threatend by sociati to to go to calleg get a good job the fact is you dont always have to but it is go to and we get scared if we are a straight a student but you get one be once your parents wont be mad because you tride your hardest5. The fact that adults can act childish and children can be mature hence the fact that age doesn't matter6.i think the video showed that to be smart you dont have to be old you just have to studie unlike i have i will now do so from now on7.I think that this will make me want to work harder to be a better student/learner.

First of all, I'm sorry that I didn't answer this sooner. I just got busy.

Now for the questions.

1. I'm not going to say I learned nothing. I learned a few things. First, I learned that she is right. It is wrong to call a kid childish. Well, maybe not all the time, but I've seen a few childish adults. Only a few. Second, I've learned that in some places, it's the kids acting more learned than adults.

2. What caught my attention was how confident she was. She seemed completely faithful in what she was saying.

3. I've realized that being a kid is very important. Kids are the start of everything. Kids aren't held back by the fact that ideas could be next to impossible. They aren't held back by things like money. They are optimistic.

4. The quite changed part of my perspective on life. It made me realize that some parts of how we're treated isn't the fairest. Some of it is sorta unfair.

5. The video was saying that a lot of our worlds problems, WW1 and WW2, for example, who caused those? ADULTS.

6. The impact on my learner status is that i need to learn to be successful. and to learn i need to want to. and i do. 7. Yes. I'm going to do my best and try harder to figure out what I can give to our society in the future.

Thank you for reading my entry about Adora Svitak . The end
