Moari Should Be Compulsory In Schools

Should Moari Be Compulsory in Schools? I think not, who cares if it’s an official language. We won’t need it in the future. It probably won’t be useful for my future career as a neurosurgeon. Here are three reasons why Moari should not be compulsory in schools.

Firstly Maori is an official language of New Zealand, but so is sign language. So it wouldn’t be fair to just teach one official language we should teach all of them. I honestly think that sign language is more important because we can use it for more important things. For example, to communicate with deaf people I mean moari won’t help you in situations like this.

Secondly other languages are just as important. Especially jobs that include talking to different kind of people and jobs that include a lot of traveling. I think all languages should be optional in school despite how important they are. For example you learn moari in school because it’s compulsory but then you have to go study in France. Well moari won’t help you their will it?

Lastly I would like to state the fact that because of the fact that technology is changing. We have things like google translate and even the translation of different people's minds. It won’t be hard to decipher another language in the future, especially with the rate that technology is changing at. For example, if we don’t understand a youtube video, we just click on subtitles and go to auto translate. Their we go we can understand it now!

So in conclusion, I think that moari should not be compulsory in schools but it should be optional. I would also like to state that I am not in anyway against, learning moari. I love the culture but I think that it wouldn’t be fair to make it compulsory.

Through the Kids Eyes

Here is our D.L.O it’s a movie that shows what adults see and what us kids want to share. It’s about giving kids a voice to voice their opinion and share their ideas. Sometimes they get ignored and I think adults need to listen to us more so this is a movie we made about it.

Term 3 Extension research (Politicians)

Should Children get a say in Politics

Politics? Something adults say ‘is rubbish’. Us kids, we usually don’t know what they are talking about, but sometimes we have our own opinions and ideas should be heard. Three reasons kids should have a say in politics!

Firstly, I don’t know if politicians know this, but it is the children's future they are changing. I instants your parents are going to be here in the next 20 or so years, but we will. So when a political choice is made us kids should have a say on it too. After all who would want to live in a world run by adults.

Secondly children have Ideas and opinions too. Sometimes they are useless but in other times they can be really helpful, I know the feeling when a good idea is heard our thought about. I mean that’s why at our school we have our Robotics Ropu. A place where kids can share their ideas and help each other learn create and share!

Lastly all politicians always debate on what they think right even if it’s not the best choice but children chose what they think is fair. For example have your heard the saying ‘honesty is the best policy’ this can work at a time like this when they don’t which path to take. Lots of children go by this policy including myself and I always fight for what I believin.

So in conclusion, I think kids should get a say in politics. I mean we have some important things to say but it’s not always heard, I want give voices to children of all ages to have a say in their future. Not just politics but everything!
