From 5th grade Social Studies:
How many people do you think died in the Cold War?

My son's answer: thousands. Teacher marked it wrong with a note "none, no shots were fired". His explanation: the Cold War led to both the Viet Nam War and Korean War, right, and what about those shot trying to leave East Germany?

If it's what he THOUGHT, how can it be wrong? If you don't want him to THINK, don't ask!
