Fourth graders ask whether kids or adults have it better as part of NPR challenge

Who's got it better in life, kids or adults? A group of fourth-graders in New Jersey did some serious reporting on this topic and sent us their findings as a part of NPR's Student Podcast Challenge.

This is an excerpt from Kids vs Adults by Emma Chayon, Emma Perez and Ella Elraviv, students at the Acton Academy of Bergen County. Their story was one of the fourth grade winners of the 2025 NPR Student Podcast Challenge.
