Today in class we watched the swearing in of Obama and then caught a little bit of the parade. I felt a good teaching moment coming on so I asked the students: If Obama is the 44th president, how could this be the 56th parade?
G, my ninth grade boy, "Mr. Butler there are 50 states, right?"
"Yes"
Immediately G responds, "Is it because there are 56 states?"
Ummmm...not quite.
