Who have been some of the best U.S. presidents, and why?
George Washington because he got our independence.
Who have been some of the worst U.S. presidents, and why?

When you become an adult, what do you think will be the biggest problem facing our nation and/or world?
Racism.
If you had the power to change one or two things about our country right now, what would it be?
I would change to make kids have the right to vote.
If you could put into place one law that pertains to kids in our country, what would it be?
To make kids have to be older to get their drivers license because they will be more mature when driving.
Why are some people rich and others poor?
I think that some people are rich because they get a good education and then get good jobs. Poor people are usually not educated and do not have good paying jobs.

No, art would be something you could chose to take and math you would have to take.
