And Then Some News

This Thursday’s essay is special, “A fourth grade perspective on the world.” And Then Some Publishing, L.L.C. had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Skyler, an outstanding fourth grader, to find out not only what is on his mind, but what he likes in this world, what he would change if he could, what he would like to be when he grows up, and what he thinks is the scariest thing in the whole world.

Share your And Then Some Story about kids. Do you have an inspirational story about kids? Are you a teacher or a person who works with kids in other capacities? What are the qualities adults need to model for children? When you witness the actions of children obviously nourished by superb parents, what qualities do you see? Too often, I’m afraid, the marvelous stories of exceptional children go untold, and now is the time to change that!


And Then Some Essay - May 15, 2008
A fourth grade perspective on the world
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:

ATSW: If you were king of the whole world and you could change one or two things that would make the world a better place for everyone, what would you change?
Skyler: I would stop having wars — with everyone peaceful
ATSW: And what would be a second thing you would change if you were king?
Skyler: I would have nobody litter or pollute the air.
ATSW: Would you ever want to be president of the United States?
Skyler: (He really had to think about this question. He wasn’t sure. He sat and he thought, and thought, and thought. Finally, he responded.) No.
ATSW: You wouldn’t want to be president?
Skyler: No, there is so much pressure being president, and there will always be people who don’t like you and don’t want you to be president.
