Revealers- Keeping Quiet

When Richie punches Russell in the face, his mother wants to call the principal, however, Russell wants to keep quiet about the whole incident. Russell’s mom’s response was, “I’m not doing nothing. If one adult did this to another, he be in jail. Why should it be different for kids?” (p. 45)


Blog Question: Should kids solve their own problems or should adults/parents get involved? Explain.


I think kids should not always solve their own problems but their parents should give them a chance to try. If the parents try to get involved strait away it will never give the kids a chance to learn to fend for themselves in the real world. I think Russell's mum should have let him go to school and see how it went but if it happened again then she should do something about it.
