Some of the students at my school are raising money for a charity that helps to provide education for children in Africa. For a fundraiser, they sold buttons and I have one on my jacket. JT saw it and asked what it was for. So I told him it was to raise money so kids in Africa could go to school.
"Wait," he said, "children in Africa don't have to go to school?"
"Well," I responded, "they want to go to school, but sometimes they can't."
You could just see the wheels turning in his head as he tried to figure out just how he could arrange it so that he could live in Africa and skip out on school and some kid in Africa could come here and take his place in the first grade.
