Denton ISD fourth and fifth graders shared why they think this year was better than we think. Author: Sean Giggy Updated: 6:42 PM CST December 31, 2020 With a raging pandemic, protests in the streets and turmoil over the election, we’ve seen just how awful this year has been. But we wanted to talk to a few people who see it differently: kids. “The worst year would be where there were no good things at all,” said fifth grader Jayden Atkinson. “And there was good things in this year.” Denton ISD asked Atkinson along with all fourth and fifth graders to describe how they saw 2020.
