Seniors in High School

One of the homework questions for my civics clas whas which branch of gov't awards federal grants and contracts.
About half of them wrote either the 'national' branch or the 'federal' branch.
These are seniors in high school. And no, not at the continuation school, but at Wal.nut High School. Yikes!
And I know this isn't my fault. I'm very clear about our 3 branches of gov't. I'm really good at remembering which ones they are. I say it a lot.

Oh yeah, they were allowed to use the book, too.
