French kids can be editors for a day

Can kids make their own newspapers? They do in Paris. Student editors at a French newspaper for kids called Mon Quotidien, do every day.

The ten-year-old newspaper sometimes sells 200,000 copies every day. It gets more than one million dollars every year! This is much more than many other newspapers.

How do they decide what to put in the paper? All the adult editors working on the children’s newspaper agree that the paper should be simple to read. Kids should be able to finish it within 10 minutes. The paper covers(报道) kids’ favorite subjects like school life, animals and science. It also talks about big world problems.

In order to make the paper more popular with kids, adult editors invite students aged 10 to 15 to join them. They have meetings every Wednesday and Sunday. Adult editors, reporters and kids sit together and decide which topics should come out in the paper and on which page. Which topic should come out on the front page, world news or bears in the zoo? Often the kid editors and adult editors disagree. Sometimes, the adult editors have to give up because their little editors won’t give in. Usually the student editors stay in the newspaper office for three hours at each meeting. Any kid in France can call the newspaper if they are interested in being a one-day editor.

1.The French newspaper Mon Quotidien has a history of 10 years.

2.The newspaper is for the kids to create and practice, not to earn any money.

3. The editors of the newspaper are all kids.

4. The children can finish reading the newspaper within 10 minutes because it’s simple.

Almost all Chinese parents hope their kids can grow into successful people, so they make their kids learn all kinds of subjects after school. Though some kids are very young, they still spend much time doing their homework and taking part in after-class activities. They nearly have no time to do sports and housework or anything else.

Each year, 80 percent of parents spend at least 6,000 yuan on different classes for their kids. For example, young kids have to learn English, swimming, painting and so on to follow their parents’ wishes. Most of the parents think that early learning is good for kids. Most kids who go to after-class activities are under 6 years old.

The famous educator Lisa Houghton says, “Although learning different kinds of subjects is important to kids, it’s more important to make them have a happy childhood. Parents should spend more time having fun with their kids, not just making them stay in the classrooms.”
