September precept
Mr. Browne’s September precept is “when given the choice between being right and being kind, CHOOSE KIND”. What I have to do is write two paragraphs or more. For me it’s quite hard to explain, so I thought it would be easier to give an example.
My example is… let’s say you are sitting next to a new student in class. He needs help with his work, and he’s too shy to ask for help. You can either be right or not help, and let him struggle or you can help the new student, and maybe get a new friend. That is what I think that precept means. Please comment, and please keep reading our class blogs.
Mr. Browne’s Sept. Precept
My class and I are reading a book called Wonder. It’s about this kid named August whose face doesn’t exactly look the same as ours. He was home-schooled for the beginning days of his life and now he has to go to school. He has his English teacher named Mr. Browne and Mr Browne gives precepts. August’s class has to write about what this precept means. So does our class.
The precept is: “When given the choice from being right and being kind, CHOOSE KIND.” This precept means you have to be kind. I have an example: Let’s say you do good in a test. You see your friend over there and he didn’t do that great. Instead of telling them what they got wrong, you could say “Good job!” Here is another example, this time in the story: Julian asked August if he had been in a fire. That could of hurt August’s feelings. That definitely would of hurt mine. He should of said, um, nothing. He should of treated August like he would of treated himself. Being kind will help others and help you as well. In a way, being right is good. You could be doing the “right” thing. In another way, you might be arrogant, rude, or you might be bragging. You could be bossy. Sometimes, being right is only about what you think. You can be right without anyone being in the problem. When you’re kind, you’re helping someone out. You have to think about others before yourself. This is what I think this precept means.

September Precept
The precept for September “When given the choice of being right or being kind CHOOSE KIND” this means to me, that if you choose right you’ll have no kindness because then you’ll be to busy correcting people of what they do and never make time to make friends, or have fun when you choose kind you can make friends and have fun all the things you couldn’t do when you were being right, you can be right when you choose kind but it’s always better to choose kind then right to have fun and have friends.
Mr.Browne
We read part of the book Wonder(by RJ Palacio), and in the story, a teacher (Mr.Browne) gave a precept (a precept is a wise rule or quote about important things). The precept is: When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind. I think it might mean that when you have to choose to be right or kind, choose kind ( e.g. when you play a game with a younger sibling and they think it is their turn when it isn’t, you could either be right and say it is your turn, or be kind and give them an extra turn.
