The fourth-grade class was studying the development of the auto industry. The teacher had emphasized the role played by Henry Ford, whose assembly lines decreased production costs.
At the end of the unit, she gave a test including the question: "What did Henry Ford invent that made buying a car more affordable?"
One of the brightest students in the class wrote: "0% financing."
