Watch These Adults Try To Do Fourth Grade Homework, Relate Immediately | HuffPost Life

A+ for effort.

BuzzFeed had adults try out a fourth grade exam, and every parent who has ever attempted to help their kids with their homework will probably be able to relate.

In a recent video, four brave adults attempted to conquer some seemingly simple elementary school questions. From figuring out the difference between arteries and veins to knowing how to do long division (which they probably haven’t done in years), the temporary students learned fourth grade is kind of tough.

So parents, if you’re getting schooled trying to help your kid with homework, just know you’re not alone.
