Question Of The Month: Jones Elementary School

Each month, the Severna Park Voice poses a question to a local fifth-grade class. This month, students from Mrs. Fickinger’s class at Jones Elementary School answered the question:

If you could make one rule that everyone in the world would have to follow, what rule would you make?

Everyone would have to love themselves just the way they are.

To have school from 8:00-11:00. Then you can do whatever you want after school.
Andy G.

If I could make one rule, it would be that everyone in the world would have to not smoke at all, because smoking can lead to lung cancer, disease and addiction.

My rule would be to have peace in the world. I would want all of the countries to become one whole continent so there would be peace in the world and not always have violence. That is the rule I would make!
Charlie L.

No pollution so the environment is clean, and animals won't be endangered, and so habitats will be saved.

I believe that everyone should be treated equally. Because now most people are treated the same. Everybody is different but differences are great and should be celebrated.

I think the best rule would be not littering. I feel like if everybody stopped littering, it would make our world look like a beautiful place and help the environment.
Frederick M.

Use electric-powered vehicles or ride a bike to save the planet from global warming.

I would make a rule that everyone would have to do what I say. I would make that rule because then I can do whatever I want, whenever I want.

Everyone would be nice to each other.

If I could choose one rule for everyone to follow, I would choose for people to play more games and have fun.

Everyone would have to be nice and help out. I decided to choose this rule because I think it would lead to world peace.

I think one rule should be that school shouldn't be 8:45 to 4:20, because what if you have sports and you only have 30 minutes to get ready and do your homework.
Kameron D.

I think that the new rule should be no school because no school would be amazing.

If I could make one rule in the world for everyone to follow it would be to clean up after yourself.

If I could make one rule, I would make everyone be kind.

A rule I would want the world to follow is to show more respect to teachers, because they help you get where you are today.

If I could make one rule, it would be to treat all animals with kindness. I would want this to be my rule because I love animals and I never want an animal to be hurt.

All races get treated the same. Just because someone is a different race from someone else doesn't mean they should be treated differently.

If I could make a rule that everyone would follow, it would be no littering and only use Teslas. I say that because we only have one world, and we are not treating it like it's our only home. Also, SAVE THE MANATEES!

If I could make one rule that everyone has to follow, it would be that people can't do homework.
William M.
