Sixth-graders tell what they would do if elected president

Animals need our help. We should to keep them safe. A way we can accomplish that is to stop testing products such as makeup on them. It should be illegal to dangerously test products on them. Side effects, diseases and death can be caused by this process. I know that I and many other people would rather have a product that was not tested on animals. It is wrong, cruel and inhumane. Save animals and test your products elsewhere.

The first thing I would do if I was president is try to pass a law that in order to be president one must have served in the military. Military personnel earn more respect for their country. As president, you would know how to treat them. Serving gives one a guiding direction, for example, to go to war or not to. People would know the military’s opinion about running the country. A president would have more respect for our country, know what direction to lead the military and know their opinions.

If I were elected to be president, this is one thing I would like to change or do. I would like that all the schools in the United States have Hispanic books. One of my reasons is they could still do their English, but they could still practice their Spanish. Another reason is so American students see and learn what Hispanic kids do in Mexico. Then they might understand some Spanish and they could know what Hispanic students are saying. Learning happens in any language.

The first thing that I would do if I were the president, is I would change all the schools to have uniforms. The uniforms would include the shirt, the socks, the shoes, a jacket and/or skirt/pants/shorts. Every student who attends a school has to buy a uniform. The students who can not afford the uniform would receive it for free. Having uniforms make all the students look the same, and some students would not get offended. It requires change so students could look the same. I could get into a meeting and get world designers. My change helps because the students look alike and they won’t get offended. Also, it would be cool because they could spice up the look. That is my thought on being president.

In November, our country will be electing a president for the United States. As president, she/he will make the United States a happier country and help every problem that we have.
If I were president, I would make the K-12 public schools better. First of all one way I would make school better is by making better lunches. One way I would make lunch better is have a buffet of different foods so kids can serve themselves. Also I would make lunches less expensive, because most moms don’t have lots of money like $10 every week for the rest of the school year. Along with that, I think we should make a hour recess so kids can get their energy out! Finally, I think school gives too much homework and kids spend too much time and don’t get enough sleep. Teachers should let them do some in school and the rest at home. lf school was better kids would learn more and listen better.
If I was president I would improve poor peoples’ lives. First of all, I would build work places so that make more buildings so that people who can’t get jobs can work in those buildings. Also I would donate money every month for them to buy clothes and food. A final way is I would borrow government money so I could make more buildings and have more people have jobs and when we make money I will pay them back a little at a time. To help poor peoples’ lives, I am going to do everything I can to make a better country.
If I was president I would lower gas prices. A good way to lower gas is to not make SUVs and make cars that run on two or three cylinders. Next, I’m going to start digging more oil plants in the U.S. One other way is to make more electric cars so that they don’t use so much gas. To lower gas prices I’m going to target more oil plants in the United States.
If become president, I am going to do everything I can to make the U.S a better state. l want everyone to live in peace and harmony! We can solve our problem!

If I were elected president of the United States, I would help the poor and unemployed, lower gas prices and make a shelter for young mothers. These are some issues that we could make better for the people of the United States.
As president of the United States, I would try to make life easier for the poor and unemployed by doing these three things. First of all, if I were president of the United States, I would use federal tax money to build at least one homeless shelter in each city/town of the United States. Next, I would use federal tax money to build schools for disadvantaged kids. These schools would have no book fees, free lunches/snacks, and all school supplies would be provided. Finally, I would let people that make less than $10,000 a year pay less in taxes than the people who make more than $10,000 year.
Another thing that I would do as president of the United States would be to lower gas prices. To begin with, to lower gas prices I would have car dealers make either two- or four-cylinder engines instead of the bigger engines that need so much gas. In addition to lower gas prices, I would give money to car dealers so that they could build cars that are solar powered, or build cars that are run by electricity. To conclude, to lower gas prices, I would quit depending on foreign imports and use gas/oil from the United States. The last thing that I would do as president of the United States would be to build a home for young mothers. First I would use federal tax money to build a home for the young mothers to go. Then I would use federal tax money to provide clothing, blankets, and bassinets/cribs/beds for the young mothers and their children. Last, I would use federal tax money to provide formula, baby food, pacifiers, bottles, sippy cups, forks, spoons and plates for the children of young mothers.
In conclusion, if I were president of the United States, I would make a few changes that would be fortunate to many people! Because I believe that it would make life easier for all Americans!
