Schoolgirl refused to answer the offensive homework question

Children sometimes can amaze with their way of thinking and explaining things. We want to share with you about one of that cases, where one little girl wrote a note for her teacher explaining why she refused to answer a question she was given by her teacher, deeming it to be offensive and rude.

Rhythm Pacheco has since been praised for her actions. She was just 10 years old when this happened in 2019. Her mom Naomi shared her daughter’s note online and everyone were aware of the 10 year old girl’s thoughts .

The question the young girl was referring to read was: “The table to the right shows the weight of three Grade 4 students. How much heavier is Isabel than the lightest student?”

The girl was sure the question was offensive to young girls who might already feel insecure about their bodies and writing that kind of question can hurt their feelings.

She pointed the narrow to the question and wrote that that is rude and she doesn’t want to answer it. She wrote that judging people by their appearance is not okay.

She didn’t want to write which child is heavier, but didn’t want to pass the question either. That is why she solved the problem without describing anyone and found another explanation to write for the problem. Rhythm then spoke to her teacher about it and she seemed to be on her side anyway.

The teacher understood her thoughts and that she didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Rhythm did everything to explain her note and the reason of her decision and many other children in her school agreed with her and encouraged her. Always remember that judging people from outside and separating them from society just because of their looks is the most wrong thing we can ever do!
