Kids vs. Adults: New Jersey Fourth-Graders Weigh In
A group of fourth-graders from Closter, New Jersey, investigated the age-old question of who has it better - kids or adults – and shared their findings as part of NPR’s Student podcast Challenge.
the students interviewed peers and adults to explore questions of freedom and responsibility. Their podcast, ”Kids vs. Adults,” features interviews with Ashley Edwards from Mexico, representing the adult perspective, and Ella, representing the children’s viewpoint.
“I liked life as a child, but I think I would rather have life as an adult as I have more freedom,” said Edwards in the podcast.
The podcast delves into the perceived benefits of each stage of life, with the students directly asking why each side believes it’s superior. The NPR report highlights the students’ “serious reporting” on the topic.
the NPR Student Podcast Challenge invites students to submit original audio stories. more information about the challenge can be found on the NPR website.
