George Pointon is a teacher and Twitter personality who, in his words, is "exploiting children's imagination for likes." At least he's being honest. In this escapade, he asked kids what they think makes a good person. Most of them had pretty straightforward answers that any regular adult would say. Some were a little more short-sighted.
