Editor,

Is this worth in high school? This is my question. What do we expect from these crowned little children? What will this crown encourage her in her studies?

It’s worth it. You think they are children but they are mature enough.

If I recall well, Miss High School set out to encourage girls who still fear to express their talents and speak out. In my opinion this is what we need to ensure our children can publicly express themselves.

I think the organisers of this event did a great job; the creativity and intelligence I saw in these girls make it clear that they can achieve anything.
