Fourth Grader Drops the Mic on Math Problem with Girl Code Inspired Answer

The Huffington Post reports Jenn Morrison Douglas's fourth grade daughter didn't much care for the implications behind a recent math problem in her homework. So she made a point about it. And what a glorious point it is.

One of the questions on a worksheet was a word problem that featured a scenario with several different couples going on dates in high school. But, when the next part of the question switched partners around in the dating scenario, it crossed a line for Douglas's daughter Maddy. She  oh hell no- ed all over the test with an epic answer. 

"I can't answer this problem because my mom says acoording [ sic. ] to girl code you shouldn't date a friends x boyfriend," she wrote. BOOM. Drop the mic and walk away. Go home math test, you are drunk.

Douglas posted a photo of Maddy's answer to Facebook, hashtagged "#girlcodetrumpscommoncore​," which, HELL YES.  She was also not all that thrilled about the question test.   

"I consider myself to be a completely open-minded type person and as a single mom, try to teach my children about equality and about different types of people they will encounter, but my first reaction was it was not an appropriate question for a fourth grader or really any grade," Douglas told the Huffington Post.

Not only is she a big viral hit, but she made some major positive waves at school, too. Douglas told the Huffigton Post when she showed it to her math teacher, the teacher responded "good point." So basically Maddy is winning at pretty much ​everything ​right now.
