I am sitting here with Molly and she is fussing that even though she got a 97% on her spelling, because the class average was 82% she has to write her spelling words 4 times.

My mom tells her that she needs to be happy that she can help those who would have had to write their word 8 times. Now Molly can help them study by writing half their words.

Molly’s response is “it’s not fair”

To which I reply “no it’s not, it’s welfare”

If a 10 year old can get it, why can’t our nation’s leaders?
