I can see where you're coming from....those questions do seem a bit
difficult, but on the other hand they also fit the curriculum.  Making
harder sets BS only does seem like a solution.  Something you should ask
Christy about when you talk to her: she mentioned that she would be
switching grades next year.  I believe she'll be teaching 4th grade, but
it'd be wise to verify this with Christy so that we make the right question
sets.
