A teacher asked his pupils what they’d do as ‘world president’ and their answers went wildly viral
Teacher George Pointon has gone viral on Twitter after he asked his Year 1 pupils to share their ideas what they’d do if they were made president of the world.
Mr Pointon – @GeorgePointon_ on Twitter – shared some of their answers – accompanied with his own analysis – and people loved it.
I asked my Year 1 classes “What would you do as president of the world?”
Here is my analysis;

Here’s a few of the pupils’ answers (and what their teacher had to say about them).
Alice – “Sweets for breakfast… everyday”
Right, obesity rates are through the roof. Heart disease. Over eating. Alice is taking none of this into consideration. The class cheered so she’s won the majority. She knows what works, and who knows, wine gums at 7am might be nice.

Katie – “Build a house for my mum”
I know you’ve seen this and gone “aww” but look deeper. She’s the President of the WORLD and all she’s doing is building a house for her mum. I think it’s incredibly selfish. Also her mum drives a 21 plate Audi. Absolute sham. Greedy fatcats.

Ravi – “Give everyone a pizza”
Marcus Rashford eat your heart out. Always thinking about others. I did ask him about people who don’t like pizza but he replied “Everyone will want my pizza”, his confidence shine through once again. I genuinely believe he WILL feed the world.

Rosie – “Put maths in the bin and playtime”
Vote for Rosie. My frontrunner! I hate maths. Chuck it in the bin. She said “The robots can do it while we play”. I’m actually all for this dystopian wonderland. She’s really saying, we live to work not the opposite. Time for change.

Wendy – “Stop the virus”
Clear. Precise. Topical. Wendy knows EXACTLY what she’s doing with this tagline. She’s a politician through and through. Didn’t give facts. Didn’t need to. ‘stop the virus’ ‘but how?’ ‘Doesnt matter, just stop it’…this is Trump if he was a decent man.

Ben – “Stop the virus with Wendy”
Every great leader needs the right people around them. Ben is the perfect Vice President. He understands his role. He’s not necessarily a leader so working under Wendy is perfect. I’m pretty sure he’s politically leeching. Like a young Iago.

And just a few of the things people were saying about it.
Fantastic. Your end of term reports must be a treat to read! I think I am with Toby – can’t wait for his healthy chocolate invention.

Wendy, Ben & Emma for President!🙌

Perfect lunchtime reading. Love Toby’s healthy chocolate, please encourage this as the world needs it… I’m also convinced Wendy would be a lot better then Borris and we would trust her.
