School For Yours Truly

Today in school, I learned about child farm labor. There were some terrible stories that were in the article we read. There were kids picking blackberries 10 hours a day and the 9 year old was wearing torn latex gloves to reach into the thorns! My hands I'm sure would be covered in blood and hurt really bad. Those are what latex gloves look like if you didn't know. Imagine working in thorns in those!

There was also a story about two 12 year olds. One is a girl and one is a boy. They both work on a farm. The boy was mauled by a combine which is like a tractor thing. It's that 2nd picture down there. Isn't that terrible!? The girl got smashed between 2 pieces of machinery! Their lives got ended short because we have not done anything about child labor.

On a way happier note, I'll talk about my math class. We are talking about integers and I had to teach my group how to multiply and divide integers. Our groups are doing a contest tomorrow on it. It is a one minute time test to test our accuracy and how many problems done. I really want my team to win. I think most days I'm going to post a meme at the end of my post. This is a Frozen meme.
