There is a limit to everything but 14 kids...

In Humanities the other day we read an article on a girl that lives in California, got married and had 6 kids (sextapluts ) one after the other. Her husband did not want more kids and divorced her. With no husband, she had 8 embrios put in her stomach. About 9 months later, she gave birth to not only one more kid, but 8 more kids. So now she has 14 kids including the 6 kids before.
Back to humanities, after reading the article individually, we had to fill out a sheet of paper called the "9-6-3 stradgedy". After doing that we were assighned a number, 1 or 2, and were to find a partner from the same number as you. We were then supposed to share what we had put down on our sheet of paper. If we did not have something the other person had on their sheet of paper, we could add that into our sheet of paper. We were then mixed up into a group which had to 1's and 2 2's. Then we could share what we thought how many children the parents should have. 
I think people should have the maximum of three or four children because it will be easier to cope with and you won't waste money on things, and bills won't be as much as this lady in California has. Also you will have more time to spend with each and every one of your kids for I have seen some people that don't spend time at all with half of their kids because they have so many kids.
At the end of the class we had a "fishbowl''. "Fishbowl" is when you have five people in the center of the room and they have to discuss the question that the teacher gives us. If the question is about why little Johnny crossed the street we have to discuss why little Johnny crossed the street. When someone from the discussion is tapped by someone that is outside of the discussion group the person inside will have to get up.We discussed about how many children the government should let us have. We did not get to finish our discussion completely as we did not have much time. Even though, I would strongly agree that this time the "Fishbowl" was so much more organized as no one jumped in just after a second.
