These days, Jackson Tumbull, a student in Grade 7 at Lakeview Junior High School in Pickerington, US, says that he needs help because he can't listen to the teachers carefully in class. And his classmate McKenna Burchett says he feels sad and he also needs help.
In their school, there is a room called SMART lab(实验室). It helps students have less stress (压力). "Everything around our kids will impact them, so sometimes they may feel good, but sometimes they may feel not so good, "a school teacher said. "And in our SMART lab, these students can find a time to take a break, relax or have fun. "
In the lab, students usually spend about 20 minutes. And they can talk to friends or teachers, draw, listen to music and play games. All these things can help them have less stress and sadness. So they will be more focused and listen more carefully in class.
This year, the lab helps 383 students at the school out of its 1, 000 students. "There is always a place for us to go to and there we can find someone to talk with, " one student said. "If you are afraid to talk to someone about how you feel, just go into the lab and speak to yourself. "
Lowri Moore is a 14-year-old girl from England. She wears glasses. And she wants to do something special for kids who wear glasses.
Lowri began this special thing when she was 9. She wrote a letter to Disney to ask for more characters (角色) with glasses in its movies. It worked! Two years later, Encanto came out. Mirabel Madrigal, the main actress of this movie, wears glasses.
Now, Lowri has a new idea. It is about letting people put glasses on emojis (表情). Lowri got the idea from her mom. One day, the mother wanted to look for an emoji that looked like her daughter. But the only young-looking emoji wearing glasses was a nerd (书呆子).
"Many kids don't want to wear glasses," Lowri said. "They don't want to look different or uncool. But if they don't wear glasses, they cannot see well and won't be able to learn well. "
So, Lowri wrote a letter to the Unicode Consortium. The company (公司) is good at making all new emojis. She asked for more emojis with glasses. That way, kids with glasses will feel good. Many people and organizations stand up for Lowri. Maybe we can see emojis with glasses in the near future (将来).
