Revealers- Keeping Quiet

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.

I think that parents should get involved depending on the situation, for example in the Revealers when Russell gets punched or when Eliot gets dropped in to the pile of rocks in the water then parents should get involved however if it is a small problem like a argument or someone gets a little hurt then parents should not get involved so that the kid learns to be independent. also i think that the parent or adult should listen to the kid and see whether he wants them to get involved or not.
