Playtime Is Over


My latest assignment was to interpret an article and create an illustration for it. The article I chose is called Playtime Is Over, written by David Elkind for the NY times. He writes about the growing problem of bullying, teasing and discrimination in schools and how the school system is trying to address it. He goes on to say that the rise in bullying is in part caused by the decreasing amount of time children spend playing with other children.
