No, I don't think that was fair for the girl.
ResponderBorrarI mean, she was just a child trying to make her school dinners a little different. She was worried about the taste of her school dinners and if these meals was healthy or not, but she saw all that as a simple game, take some pictures and post a comment below each picture. She didn't have bad intentions on what she was doing on her blog, that's the reason I think that banning her blog wasn't a fair fact.
I think is not fair, because she was to said or to post the kind of food in her blog, she had a expression about it, and sharing it with others, and this blog begin a community of expression in different places, perhaps it help to change the kind of food in some places, however some people didn’t like this idea, the publicity affect their schools so decided to stop the blog.

ResponderBorrarNot at all, she was making something that makes her happy and wasn´t doing something wrong for anyone. The matter was that sometimes the dinners schools weren´t healthy or tastes good and the owners of the school didn´t wanted nobody to know about it. It always happens that a person that say the true about something have to be shut up in a certain way so nobody knows the problem.
ResponderBorrarNo, I do not seem fair to the girl, as she wrote in her blog post without bad intentions, without causing harm to anyone, on the contrary, she was interested in school food, and how well you know and if it is healthy. And then she began to raise money to donate school meals, so in general the girl was doing well with your blog and not just bureaucracy that she has stopped writing in his blog ..
ResponderBorrarI think that was not fair, because Martha Payne did a great job with this blog, she also wanted to promote healthy dinner meals in the schools and also knew about how are these meals with information of kids that visit the blog. The problem is that burocrats don't want that people talk and take their own opinions about different themes, in this case about the dinner meals in schools. So, this is very important that people like Martha cares about this, and try to make meals at schools more healthy.
ResponderBorrarNo, because she was just a girl trying to dedicate her devotion and effort into something good that she liked. And how can a blog about food be troublesome?. The bureaucrats were afraid and ignorant at the same time, they decide to shutdown the blog instead of praise the girl for her initiative.
ResponderBorrarshe was not even a teen, she just have a reason to make that blog and help other people with their problems. i actually think that been able to earn money with just 9 years is a total success, so it was not fair to take down all hers effort. im glad that after that they gave her authorize to continue with the blog and bring happiness to others!
ResponderBorrarI think she was doing a good thing, because the people need too know what kind of food the school give to their students. And is a nice way where the students and the parents know the type of food of different schools. And she helps other kids that doesn't have anything to eat with her blog, so i think the blog is a good idea and isn't something bad. But the director know that not all the time they serve health food so they doesn't like the idea of the blog.
ResponderBorrarI think was unfair because you can write about you want. In this case she used the technology like a mean of communication with others students and they discuss about the food quality and also about the food in others schools. It is important to understand that we need to respect the students opinion and it is not a solution to force close they social networks and some things like that.
ResponderBorrarIt is not fair that the girl stop writing his blog, people have freedom of opinion. It is a girl who can not be denied their right to speak his mind. Instead, children should encourage them to express their opinion. The authorities should not be imposed to others only protect themselves by themselves. In addition, Martha action was to help others.
ResponderBorrarNo I think that it wasn't fair for the girl, everybody have freedom expression and this girl could write in his blog about the school dinner ,about if meals was good or really bad, finally this blog was his opinions, but people never like to be criticized and unless the problems are being published
