The girls school hosted a 5k, 3k and fun run this past weekend. All the girls had been training during their PE period for the event. Jo would come home each week and report on the fastest girl in her grade and how she was always trying to catch her. The older three came home and complained that if they paid R$60 to enter the 5K whatever time they came in with their PE teacher would give them a passing grade. If they ran the 5K at school the following week during class they would have to complete the run in a set amount of time. I could see the wheels rolling in their head and also heard many a times how unfair it was that they had to pay for their grade.
Due to others things going on that week and not knowing if they would make the run we planned on registering Saturday morning. Turns out the registration had closed the night before. They were still able to run on the Saturday, secure the passing grade and saved themselves R$60.
