Children should NOT get paid for doing chores!!

Why children should not get paid for doing chores

In my opinion children should not get paid for doing chores because life without parents would be bad because who would teach you how to walk and talk, we should be grateful to even have parents that would look after us and care for us and love us with all their hearts and they are going to go shopping for food so that we can eat.

The most important reason is because our parents do nearly everything for us already like they make us dinner every night. They sometimes be late to work so that they can drop us off to school  on rainy days. They even pay the bills for the house so that we can live in a happy and healthy home.

Another point is that we should be helping out around the house anyway even if we don’t get paid for it because after our parents come home from work they would be very tired after a long day and would want to go for a rest. While they are resting you could help out and do some of their chores for them.

Finally is that if you don’t get paid they can save up for holidays and they would try their best to have a really fun time with the people they love. Plus it would teach us great life skills for the future, because you wouldn't get paid when you are an adult so why should we get paid when we are kids? It also helps out when we get a house of our own and we have to look after that to stop getting rodents

I therefore believe that children should not get paid for doing chores because they can help out and do the chores as a family.

Creative and extraordinary mind swap machine

In literacy we are reading a book called Barking Mad. There is a Grandpa and he is a crazy inventor. One day he created a mind swapping machine and we had to design one of our own. I chose to do an old microwave as my base and we drew these on sumo paint. Then we wrote the instructions on google slides. We had to take a screenshot of our machine and insert it onto our slide. Have you ever read Barking Mad? And do you want to swap minds with someone? If so please tell me in the comments how much you liked the book and who you would like to swap minds with.
