Life Lesson

This week, the students at my school will be getting a life lesson in regards to voting. We are in the process of having a student council election. Five third grade students are running for secretary, five fourth grade students, including one of my students, are running for vice president and six fifth grade students are running for president. Well, today the voting started with a glitch. The ballot did not have my student's name on it. Four or five classes had already voted. So it was decided to show the students how, because of a problem in the voting system, that part of the election will be voided and those classes will have to vote again on a proper ballot. We decided that this would teach the students that elections should always be done fairly and properly.
