Morning Question

Every morning I give announcements over the PA. Each day I ask a question students can answer for “Rogers Dollars.” As I visit a first- and second-grade classroom, a boy suggests a morning announcements question to ask.

With a big smile he enthusiastically says, “Ask them ‘How many teeth are in a dog’s mouth?’”

It’s not unusual for students to suggest questions knowing they’ll be able to answer them and earn easy money. I’m glad this boy knows about dogs, so I ask, “How many teeth are in a dog’s mouth?”

He grins expectantly and says, “I haven’t got a clue!”
