Host Hayes interviews 10-year-old Micah, a fifth-grader at Hemeter Elementary. Micah shares mixed feelings about school — he enjoys math and reading and playing sports at recess (football, soccer, king of the hill) and hopes to go to Harvard to become a lawyer with his friend Bennett — but says the school day feels too long and some subjects (like social studies) seem unnecessary or could be learned from books. He also outlines a typical school day (morning work, math, ELA, recess, gym, lunch, writing/reading, and rotating science/social studies) and mentions Friday STEAM activities like Lego robotics.

She says if she were to get a pet now she’d likely choose a golden retriever, and—if available—she’d consider a horse as well. Winnie prefers not to dress pets up regularly (maybe only for Halloween) and explains she wants a dog because they’re adorable and fun to play with, especially given the free time she has at home.
