If a second grade girl brings 12 packets of crack cocaine to school, amounting to a total of 0.6 grams and an approximate street value of $60, how much is each packet of crack cocaine worth?
Earlier this week, teachers found several second-graders at a Southwest Philadelphia school passing around small, pink bags of crack cocaine. It turns out one of the students, a seven year old girl, had had found the drugs in her backpack and simply brought them into the school. Local Philadelphians are obviously outraged at the incident, despite the fact that it has happened before.
Philly police have already raided the house where the young girl lives, and are questioning several adults connected to that house, but no arrests have been made. It seems to me that this girl and her family may have simply been following in the footsteps of model Kate Moss who, since having her own little cocaine scandal, has reportedly landed several million dollar endorsement deals worth more than her pre-coke endorsements.
**Oh, and the answer to today’s second grade math word problem is that each packet of crack cocaine is worth $5.
