Plus Minus and Interesting

Marama, the teacher of the Wockets left us a thinking challenge so we decided to learn about doing a PMI to organise our thnking. Just look at our ideas after 5 minutes thinking. Thanks for the idea Marama.
What if children, not adults were in charge of Children's Rights?
Plus
Children could do anything they liked.
If children were smart they would stay healthy.
Children could organise lots of fun things to do with others.
Minus
Children might not get an education because they might not go to school.
Children might not be ableto keep themselves safe because there would be no boundaries.
Children would pollute the air for everyone because they would want to go to too many places.
Children wouldn't be able to get out of fires because they wouldn't have adults to help.
Children could get hurt playing with matches and lighters.
Children might not care and they might get spoiled and unhealthy because of junk food.
Children might not be able to get out of the pool before they drowned.
Children would not know how to keep healthy because there would be no doctors.
Children wouldn't have the money for medicine.

Interesting
Adults should be in charge because they earn the money.
How would children build a safe place to live in?
A child could be the Prime Minister or President.
The Prime Minister would not be smart enough to make the right choices if he or she was a child.
You might not be able to understand what the Prime Minister is saying.
Children might tell adults what to do.
