Choking because of schoolmeal


Summary
Flowers left at Pentland Primary School in memory of Chantelle Firth “I know children have accidents but you wonder how a child can choke to death.” This is what a mother said after a terrible accident at the Pentland Avenue School. Her son is at the same school as where a girl, Chantelle Firth, choked to death as she was eating a school meal. She was brought to the University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton. Chantelle herself was a really popular girl, and everyone is devastated according to the headteacher. The pupils, teachers and parents of children at that school are very shocked. The police have started an investigation to find out how this accident could have happened. Words 108

Opinion
I think this is terrible. Such a young girl. Of course accidents happen, and this is one of those, but still it is tragic. I wish these things to no one. The only thing I find disturbing is that in the article a big emphasis is forced on how popular she was. But what would happen is she wasn’t that popular, but just a shy girl who doesn’t stand out. I think that should not be in a newspaper. It feels to me like the children who are popular mean more than the one who aren’t. That is a shame. Words: 100
