Elementary school students sound off on the demotion of Pluto
HT Jen.
When Hambet was in kindergarten, he came out of school one afternoon in tears because his teacher said that Pluto wasn’t a planet any more. He took that to mean that Pluto had been destroyed! It took a while to reassure him that Pluto still existed and now had its own category. I wonder if kids have a soft spot for Pluto because it’s “the smallest.”
