Monkey

Can I say how proud I am of him? He has set goals for this year. He has finished half of his summer reading project already. He has been on time for everything, including waking himself up. He was asked to write "an opinion on how prejudice affects the way people treat one another." He wrote this:

"If one race is treated badly they may feel that they have to be hateful to others, and maybe even hostility! So if they are treated nicely they might be dedicated to act out and make friends in different culutres, groups and races. So far in life we have made a tremendous amount of different raced people since it was allowed. Plus people may think just because they are not popular or smart enough they can't be friends with them. I think it was cruel when women couldn't vote or run for president. Overall we have made tremendous progress!"

He absolutely needs to work on organization and clear up some ambiguity. Oh, and the grammar :P However, this kicks butt for a first year middle schooler. And remember, he had a list of vocabulary words he had to use.

My favorite is line three. I believe he meant something about progress towards diversity after the Civil Rights Movement.
