While it is certainly challenging to be a teacher—after all, it’s the teacher that fosters a kid’s love and thirst for all things knowledge—it’s not all seriousness as there is a lot of fun to be had.

This one had his first graders answer a very simple question: what would you do as president of the world? Oh yeah, you bet the kids had some fun with this question, which led the teacher to do an analysis of their answers in the most hilarious way.

More Info: Twitter

Working with kids is tough, but it all pays off when they explain what they’d do as presidents of the world

Meet George Pointon from London, UK, who has recently shared some of the things his first-year students answered in response to the question: what would you do as president of the world? Mind you, this ain’t president of a given country, but rather of the WHOLE WORLD! So, the stakes were high.

It’s also important to note that George uses the term year one to mean a class of 5 to 6-year-olds, which is effectively first grade in the United Kingdom.

George Pointon went to Twitter to share just that—his students’ hilarious answers, and even provided his own analysis

So, once he got the answers, he went to Twitter to share them along with his insights and analysis on who would most likely be elected president based on the response.

The thread included a list of eleven kids, each explaining what they would do as presidents of the world. And the answers varied greatly, from wholesome and heartwarming attempts to help the world to some of the most adorably selfish and outright evil things they would do.

The tweet thread included answers from 11 kids

For example, there was Alice, who moved for sweets for breakfast every day. Right after that, George comes in to comment that Alice doesn’t give a gaw-giggity about obesity rates or heart disease. And, hey, the class cheered her on, so it was definitely a popular decision. She’d also stimulate dentist services, but I digress.

Another kid, Toby, said he’d “drink hot chocolate and eat chocolate.” The healthy kind. George’s take was that he’d most likely be much more successful as a businessman with that idea rather than a politician.

Answers varied from wholesome to humanitarian to outright selfish and evil

Yet another first grader, Susanna, went dark and said she’d put her brother in a dungeon. Straight up, she’d be using her power for evil, though upon further investigation, it seemed like a studio flat or a loft in central London. But still, for taxpayer money!

And so the list went on and on, with each kid providing their presidential position. Not sure how, but it seems Twitter decided to vote on the most prospective candidates, with Ben and Wendy, Ravi, Rosie, and Emma becoming the top favorites.

There was even a team that formed with the aim to stop Covid and it’s about darn time

In fact, there’s a poll specifically for these candidates, with Ravi taking the lead. Who would have thunk that pizza would sway the minds of the voters and an “everyone will want my pizza” kind of attitude.

As of the moment of this article, George’s thread got over 32,500 likes with nearly 8,000 retweets and loads of comments of people either saying how much fun they had reading it, or cheering certain kids on.

George even set up a vote for the most popular candidates with Ravi killing it with his “Pizza For All” campaign

You can read through the whole thing as well as all of the responses from the internet here.

But before you go, let us know your thoughts on this. Which one would you cast your vote for? Or better yet, what would you do if you were president of the world (ridiculous answers only)? Let us know in the comment section below!

Even as a kid I used to think I'd last about 6 weeks as US president before being assassinated. My first order of business: tax all churches. Property and income. That'd likely dispatch the first hit squad

So it is decided - I´m going to get some pizza now. Meanwhile Jack at least has the right idea, moving to the capitol and even directly into the seat of legislative power. He could have a close relationship with Parliament to actually do something useful.

If Toby can deliver on this “healthy chocolate”, he may not rule the world, but he will develop a massive cult following.

He makes a slighting comment about Trump and the virus. Except, umm, Mr Trump is not a doctor nor a medical researcher. I don't expect him to personally find a cure for a virus. As president, I expected him to allocate resources to real medical researchers so they could find a cure. Which is exactly what he did. He created "Project Warp Speed" to give researchers the resources to find a vaccine, and to streamline the government approval process so once the doctors did find a vaccine they could get it to the public quickly. It's difficult to imagine what more he could have done as president. There are things Mr Trump did that I thought were bad ideas, but his handling of the virus vaccine was excellent.

I'm curious that he says Toby replied, "Drink hot chocolate and eat chocolate", and then he says it's a positive that he said "healthy chocolate". But his quote from Toby didn't say anything about "healthy". Did he just make that part up, or did he edit the quotes? If the quotes are edited, how much of the over-simplification was in the original and how much was the result of the teacher misquoting and leaving out details. Is this all Fake News?

No "editing of quotes" required if the information was obtained during subsequent conversations.

Not to be a stick in the mud, but: So 5 year olds gave simplistic and unsophisticated answers to a difficult question. Umm ... what did you expect? If these answers had come from college students that would be sad and funny. Coming from children it's just, Well, duh.

This is exactly what he expected, and what everyone else expected. You aren't a "stick in the mud", you are just missing the point that this is humor, or more specifically humour.

The OP is calling out SMALL CHILDREN for being selfish, helping their families, and for NOT stating things the OP thinks are right? I believe the culturally appropriate Brit adjectives to describe him are "K**b" and "Wanker". Please correct as appropriate
