The Class Trip

A class of 24 voted. Museum: 9. Park: 15. The park wins.

Name
How many more people voted for the park than the museum?
Did the museum children do anything wrong by voting for the museum?
The nine still have to go to the park. Is that fair? Say why you think so.
What could the fifteen do to make it better for the nine? Think of something real.
What if it was 13 to 11? Does that feel different? Should it?
The class votes 23 to 1 that one child can never join in at break. Is that fair?
