Mail Pail

Here's all the mail GWN received this week:

Debate Time (Should violence be in video games?):
“If you have violence then, kids may think it is real. Sometimes parents try to handle kids but they don't listen! It is the kid's fault! NO VIOLENCE!” Chloris Li, 5th grade
“I think there should not be violence in video games because it makes the players get interested in violence and then bad things happen. Also, if you're addicted to those kinds of video games, your parents might not let you play them (because they always want the best for you...right?) and life will be really hard!” Sara Ye, 4th grade
Violence in video games? Yes! The video game will be no fun without any violence at all.” Cynthia Yao, 5th grade
“No violence! You see, kids like to follow games' rules, but do they listen to parents' rules? No. Basically, games are their role model. If there is violence in their role models, they will like violence. So, NO VIOLENCE IN VIDEO GAMES!!!” Carol Zhang, adult
“Yes, because there wouldn't be any fun.” Emily Wang, 4th grade

Happy Birthday, Gingy!:
“Happy 'Early Bird' Birthday, Gingy! Here's a gift (a token for Gingy, thank you Amanda)!” Amanda Chang, 5th Grade, 2/15/08
“Happy Birthday, Gingy! I made a book just for you!” Diane Zhou, 5th grade, 2/16/08
“Happy 'Belated' Birthday!” Deanna Wong, 5th grade
“Tell Gingy I said 'Happy Late Birthday!'” Grace Ching, 5th grade
