Novel connection. 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.
Kids should learn to be independent but, depending on the problem. If the problem is a big factor and if it is not getting better they should talk to an adult and the adult should take action. The adult should not get involved when he/she thinks it is a small problem but they should give good advice . Like in 'The Revealers,' Russell's mom wants to help him solve his problem, but he doesn't want people to think of him, as a complainer, and tells his mom to ignore the problem (p. 45). So I think he should include his mum because he said wrong stuff and made a complete mess. Some kids don't have the ability to solve problems so it is good to take advice.
When a problem occurs kids should think about the problem and then take action.
