What kids think....
It was different than I thought. I thought we would have to do paper and pencil votes. The clickers made it easier. –ABBEY, grade 6
It was fun because you did what adults do when they vote. I liked checking in because you normally check in with an ID, but it was cool just giving your name. –CALISTA, grade 5
I felt like a man. It was fun because usually we have to wait until we’re 18. It was a good feeling to feel older. –DARIEN, grade 5
I liked it because if there was not voting, we wouldn’t have a President. I like Obama not only because he’s a Democrat, but also I think he would be a good president for homeless people and people who don’t have enough money. –IMANI, grade 4
I think it’s good because children could vote and also you can either vote Obama or McCain. It’s good to have a choice so you can vote for your country. –CARL, grade 4
I thought it was fun because it was like we were actually voting. I liked the clickers because it was like a real vote. –JOHN, grade 2
It was fun because we got to choose our own answers. I liked using the remotes to choose.
–HEAVEN, grade 2
I liked it because it was fun. We just needed to press two buttons. I learned that when voting for president, you have to make up your mind before you vote. –RYAN, grade 1
It was fun because I like the remote and the pictures helped you vote. I learned that you have to keep your promise not to tell who you voted for and you got a sticker. –REMINGTON, grade 1
It was pretty good, but it was not great. It was hard to choose for me because I never did this before. –KATHRYN, grade 1
It was good because you get to push the button on the remote. It made me happy because you get the “I VOTED!” sticker and the older girls and boys help you with the remote. –ANNA, grade 1
It was totally awesome because when I vote it feels kind of good. –JAIAH, grade 1
Obama is a good president.
-Nick, grade 1
When I voted last year I voted for Hillary Clinton, but since she lost, I voted for Obama. --WYATT, grade 1
It was fun because you could vote for someone you like. –CARLOS, Kindergarten
Well, it was good so I really think John McCain was winning. And, that’s it.
–CHARLOTTE, Kindergarten
I liked it because I never voted before. I liked pressing the buttons. –VINCENT, Kindergarten
It was good because I’ve never voted before. I learned that voting is private. –CARTER, Kindergarten
